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.
Made from high-quality 316 stainless steel, which makes them resistant to wear and tear.
They are drilled directly into the ground.
sloped sides with co-centric rings for slip resistance.
They are very robust and have in some cases offer a more  architectural and aesthetic appeal.

Stainless Steel one-piece cast construction stud , meaning without a stem, and installed with an epoxy adhesive means a fast installation to provide aesthetically pleasing areas for the visually impaired

TGSI’s STAINLESS STEEL STUDS WITHOUT A STEM
These TGSI’s are a one piece construction manufactured without a stem, meaning they are not pin back.

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

  1. Use a template to mark where you want holes drilled
  2. Drill holes using a 8mm Drill bit (no glue required), fit nylon plug into hole
  3. Gently tap single studs into holes
