At Tactiles.ae, our mission is to transform public spaces into environments that are safe, inclusive, and compliant with international accessibility standards. One of our recent projects highlights this commitment: the installation of tactile stainless steel (SS) self‑adhesive strips and studs at the Dubai Court located in Manara Mall, Dubai.

Working as a subcontractor under the main contractor TOUCH ID, our team was tasked with delivering a solution that not only met the functional requirements of tactile guidance systems but also aligned with the high standards expected in a judicial and commercial environment.

Why Tactile Indicators Matter

Tactile indicators are essential in guiding individuals with visual impairments, helping them navigate safely through complex spaces such as malls, courts, and public institutions. By installing tactile SS strips and studs, we created pathways that provide clear directional cues and hazard warnings. These installations are designed to withstand heavy foot traffic, ensuring durability and long‑term performance.

Materials and Methodology

We selected premium stainless steel self‑adhesive tactile strips and studs for this project. Stainless steel offers several advantages:

• Durability: Resistant to corrosion, scratches, and wear.
• Aesthetic appeal: Sleek finish that integrates seamlessly with modern flooring.
• Ease of installation: Self‑adhesive backing reduces downtime and ensures precise placement.

Our team followed a meticulous installation process, ensuring that each stud and strip was aligned according to accessibility guidelines. This precision guarantees that the tactile indicators serve their purpose effectively while maintaining a professional finish.

Impact of the Project

The Dubai Court at Manara Mall now benefits from a safer, more inclusive environment. Visitors with visual impairments can navigate confidently, while the mall and court administration demonstrate their commitment to accessibility compliance. This project reflects Dubai’s broader vision of becoming a city that prioritizes inclusivity and innovation.

At Tactiles.ae, we are proud to contribute to this vision by delivering solutions that combine functionality, safety, and design excellence.
