Linear tiles guide a person along a safe walking path, while circular tiles signal a hazard, path end, or stopping point. In Saudi projects, linear tiles are used along sidewalks and walkways, while circular tiles are placed near stairs, ramps, or vehicle access points to protect visually impaired people.
Yes. Matkel tactile paving tiles are made from heat-resistant, UV-stable materials such as polyurethane or engineered rubber, so they can perform in Riyadh, Jeddah, or other outdoor areas without rapid cracking. Choose a non-slip surface and a lighter color to reduce heat absorption in external projects.
They should comply with accessibility standards and include a raised pattern that can be felt by a cane or foot. The surface must be rough and non-slip. Fire resistance, abrasion resistance, and standard sizes such as 30 by 30 centimeters are preferred for easy installation on Saudi sidewalks and walkways.
Install them on a level, properly prepared base and align the raised pattern in the direction of movement. Integrate them smoothly with the adjacent sidewalk or flooring, use the right adhesive or fixing method, clean and check the surface, then inspect the full path to ensure continuous guidance without sudden obstacles.
