Qld antislip solutions offers the total solution presenting a new and revolutionary range of tactile indicators. Austact’s range of discrete Tactile Indicators has been vigorously tested and is consistently chosen as the preferred option, offering total Installation services & a superior product range with advantages in performance and value.
Product Range: All stainless steel is marine grade 316, which has been further processed to ensure a lifetime of performance. Plastic component is engineered to withstand impact & the environment. All Tactile Indicators are compliant to the requirements of AS/NZS 1428.4. All Tactile Indicators can be installed into any substrate, eg. masonry, carpet, timber, stone, asphalt etc.
Directional Tactile Indicators Austact Directional Indicators are designed along the same guidelines as the individual Tactile Indicator. The range offered is such that Directional Indicators are available in the same range of options including metal insert & full metal. All Tactile Indicators manufactured by Austact Pty Ltd comply with AS/NZS 1428.4 (2002)
Quality: Austact’s manufacturing processes utilise the latest technology available to ensure accurate repeatability. A vigorous inspection procedure is also implemented to maintain that only the highest possible quality component conforms to the requirements of AS/NZS 1428.4 (2002)
Materials: Stainless Steel All stainless steel used in conjunction with our Indicators is Marine Grade 316. The finished components are further polished and passivated to ensure long lasting durability and appearance. Plastic An engineering grade of nylon is used to produce the body and integrated fastening shaft. This material has proven extremely durable and is able to withstand the heavy demands of constant pedestrian use. This material is guaranteed to perform for at least 10 years in an external environment.
Performance: The Austact Tactile Indicator No1 profile (patent pending) has been tested by CSIRO to verify the suitability of the product in a pedestrian environment.This component was rated at R13 (38.2Deg),to AS/NZS 4586:2004, Appendix D. which significantly exceeds the requirements & ensures a safety advantage. The unique surface geometry (patent pending) creates a defined grip matrix which is proving unrivalled.
Specifications & Installation
All stainless steel is marine grade 316, which has been further processed to ensure a lifetime of performance & resistance to corrosion. Manufacture: Plastic content of the metal insert and full metal range is modified to withstand impact & the environment. Full plastic models are manufactured from polyurethane to provide a tough wear resistant quality. Each component is automatically assembled utilising a patented mechanical technique, to ensure continued durability.
Quality: 
Austact’s manufacturing processes utilise the latest technology available to ensure accurate repeatability. A vigorous inspection procedure is also implemented to maintain that only the highest possible quality component meets the requirements of AS/NZS 1428.4, for performance & design.
Installation
Our experience has proven that there is no substitute for mechanical fixing. Fixing a Tactile Indicator onto an existing pedestrian floor with adhesive has proven to date to be less reliable than we considered acceptable. We will however continue to research this option.
All Indicators currently have a profiled plug incorporated into the design of each tactile indicator which suits a pre drilled 8mm hole. The depth of hole is dependant on the substrate material. Typically a 25mm depth hole is sufficient when fixing the tactile indicator to concrete.
It is highly recommended that the installation be carried out trained professionals.
