PVC tactile paving (including rubber pedestrian tactile paving, subway guide bricks, and prompt tactile strips) is an accessible transportation facility designed for visually impaired people, widely used in public areas such as sidewalks, subway entrances/exits, stations, and shopping malls. Its main body is made of high-strength PVC material, and some styles incorporate rubber components, featuring wear resistance, anti-aging, and flexibility. It is not easy to crack or deform even after long-term pedestrian stepping and rain soaking, with a service life of over 5 years.
The product is divided into two types: guide tactile strips and prompt tactile bricks. The guide strips are long strip-shaped protrusions, guiding visually impaired people to walk in a straight line; the prompt bricks are dot-shaped protrusions, used at key positions such as intersections, steps, and elevator entrances to remind of path changes. The height of surface protrusions strictly follows accessible design standards (3-5mm), with clear touch, allowing visually impaired people to accurately perceive through canes or foot soles. In addition, the material has anti-slip properties, with a friction coefficient of ≥0.6 on rainy days to avoid slipping; some styles add reflective particles to improve visibility at night. It is easy to install, adopting a splicing design, suitable for various floors such as cement and tiles. Most of them are in eye-catching yellow, forming a visual contrast with ordinary road surfaces, meeting the needs of both visually impaired and ordinary pedestrians, and safeguarding accessible travel.
