Forest Pennant offers three types of hazard paving; barface, blister and corduroy. Tactile paving is a ground surface indicator aiding those who are blind or visually impaired to navigate an urban environment. Barface tactile paving provides an excellent anti-slip surface and is ideal for areas with an incline or access ramp. Corduroy tactile paving alerts the blind and visually impaired that a hazard is nearby and is most commonly used at the top and bottom of a flight of steps.
