Utilised to mark the end point of a railway platform, Marshalls' Tactile Platform Edge Paving creates a visual and physical alert to the presence of a platform edge. It consists of raised blisters and contrasting colours that indicate the presence of off-street heavy rail systems, across both mainline and underground networks.
Manufactured in accordance with BS EN 1339: 2003 and guidelines set out by the Department for Transport, Marshalls' Tactile Platform Edge Paving provides an indicator to pedestrians that they are approaching the edge of a platform.
Tactile Platform Edge Paving also meets DDA requirements through the range of contrasting textures and colours used. The product has been made to help planners and designers meet DDA guidelines, which state that Tactile Platform Edge Paving should be installed:
- Along the entire length of the platform
- Parallel to the platform edge
- At a position of 600-700mm away from the platform edge.
Marshalls' Tactile Platform Edge Paving is available in 2 colour options: Buff and Charcoal, allowing for the creation of a suitable colour contrast.
