SALA BACKE handrail – Polyurethane – Tactile handrails and stop markings – 3M tape

Tactile routes are an important part of the accessibility of public buildings and premises. The routes are both visual and tactile and lead to important destinations such as elevators, toilets, reception and stairwells.

Tactile polyurethane handrails – handrail, stop mark and contrast mark.

Safestep SALA BACKE is our all-polyurethane product range. The range includes tactile handrails, stop markings and contrast markings in various colors and attachments.

Polyurethane guide rods are a durable alternative with many advantages: affordable, durable and hygienic. The rods have a smooth surface, can withstand very high temperatures and can be easily cleaned with steam. Polyurethane is a soft material and more comfortable to walk on with barefoot feet, making them suitable for use in e.g. bathhouses and changing rooms.

Polyurethane treads – black and white.

The polyurethane series is available in white and black, which means that they can provide good contrast on both dark and light floors. They have a smooth, self-adhesive backing with 3M double-sided tape for fast and durable results.

Important to remember: According to the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning’s recommendations and general advice, public premises should be provided with logical pathways that lead between selected target points. In open spaces such as station buildings, receptions and foyers, there should be coherent tactile and visual pathways. The paths should provide directional orientation and safely guide us in the right direction – past obstacles and to the destination points.

The tactile beacons should also be installed with different materials and a brightness contrast of at least 0.4 NCS – either lighter or darker than the surroundings. Read more about all the rules and recommendations for tactile beacons here – or download our guide below under Documents.
