Abstract

ABSTRACT

A marking tile is disclosed, for use in conjunction with pedestrian platforms and walkways. The preferred embodiment of the tile has a plurality of buttons or longitudinal strips projecting upwardly therefrom to provide a distinctively textured upper surface. Edges of the tile which face pedestrian traffic have a downwardly angled portion such that the height of the upper surface of the tile at the traffic-facing edge is substantially at the height of the lower surface of the rest of the tile, so that the edge may be installed flush with the platform or walkway if the surface of the platform or walkway is bevelled beneath the angled portion. An integral flange, preferably angled away from the vertical, projects downwardly from each traffic-facing edge, for positioning in a groove of corresponding dimension to be cut into the platform or walkway. The upward projections are of a lower height adjacent each traffic-facing edge than elsewhere on the tile. Where buttons are used, the button surfaces and the surface of the tile between the buttons are provided with a plurality of small upward projections to texture the surfaces. Where the tile is installed at the edge of a platform, an integral right-angled flange projects downwardly therefrom to overlie the face of the platform.
