Tactile Warning Marking Flooring
SKU: 410203
Where the risk begins, guidance must be unmistakable. The Kapazi Alert Tactile Warning Floor Tile marks the critical points of any accessible route with raised truncated-cone studs: the beginning and end of staircases, in front of elevators, ramps with an incline equal to or greater than 5%, and changes in direction. Detectable both with a long cane and the sole of the foot, each 25 x 25 cm tile made of 100% PVC communicates danger before it occurs, without relying on the user’s vision.
It is installed by bonding it to the existing floor, with no demolition required and traffic permitted after 24 hours. Available in Yellow, Royal Blue, and Black, the colors were selected to ensure the minimum 30-point LRV difference required by NBR 16537:2024. Each box contains 16 pieces and covers exactly 1 m², making it easier to calculate the quantity needed for the project. To create a technically compliant route, the Alert model must be used together with the Kapazi Directional Tactile Floor Tile, as required by the standard.

Allowing the adhesive to cure
Observe the following periods after installation: light traffic only after 24 hours; resistance testing only after 48 hours; first cleaning only after 72 hours. The adhesive reaches full cure in 7 days.

Routine cleaning
Cleaning must be carried out manually, covering the entire surface of the raised areas to remove dirt accumulated between the raised bumps.
The use of solvents, alcohol, thinner, alkaline detergents, or a water jet degrades the PVC, alters the raised areas, and reduces the service life of the panels.
