BRASS TACTILE STUDS
Tactile Ground Surface Indicators
Brass TGSI’s Tactile indicators
TGSI’s are designed to be installed onto pedestrian surfaces to assist in the orientation of people who are vision impaired and to give tactile warning to safely navigate around in a built environment – detectable underfoot or by cane.
Brass Tactiles Key features
• 12 base configurations to suit every look and installation application – concrete, timber, carpet…
• Suitable for external or internal use
• Highest slip rating (R13)
• Fixing method – adhesive or screw down
• Insert colours – black and yellow (carborundum) or black (PVC).
• Compliant with Australian standards and codes Manufactured in Australia
Installation
- Use a template to mark where you want holes drilled
- Drill holes using a 8mm Drill bit (no glue required), fit nylon plug into hole
- Gently tap single studs into holes
TGSI’s STUDS WITH A STEM
Studs are individual discrete studs, or dots that use an expansion anchor or stem to fix to the pedestrian pathway.
They are drilled directly into the ground.
sloped sides with co-centric rings for slip resistance.
They offer a more architectural and aesthetic appeal.

ORDERING
Brass Tactile indicators
How many tactile studs are there per square metre?
-
-
- With TGSI’s single studs, you will require 400 per square metre OR if you have a width of 600mm wide you will need 240 per lineal metre.
- With Directional bars you will require 45 per square metre.

INSTALLATION
Installation of the individual TGI’s, studs.
We recommend the use of a template for easy install.
For TGSI’s Light Reflective Values, it is the difference in the amount of light reflected from the tactiles compared to the amount of light that’s reflected from the adjacent surface. Tactile tiles/pads should have 30% luminance contrast while discrete tactile individuals should have 45% to 60%. The 60% contrast is for composite studs.
Our templates are made of ACM (Aluminum composite material (ACM) which is a three-layer composite sheet with plastic as the core layer)
- Size is 1200 mm x 600 mm
- 4 mm thick
- Suitable for shaft diameter of 8mm single tactile studs
- 24 holes across x 12 holes down-Total of 288 holes.
You can use these templates twice, as after using the drill, the holes may become slightly larger.
Therefore one template can effectively drill 576 holes (used twice per hole).
Installation
- Use a template to mark where you want holes drilled
- Drill holes using a 8mm Drill bit (no glue required), fit nylon plug into hole
- Gently tap single studs into holes
