Safety and practicality are two ends of the rope that come together in tactile tiles—a promising step aligned with the Government of India's initiative to ensure safety, independence, and confidence for people with visual impairments. These special tiles help them know where to walk safely and warn them if there is something dangerous nearby, like stairs, crosswalks, or roads. The government made these rules so everyone can move around easily and safely, no matter if they can see well or not.
At Orientbell Tiles, we’ve launched this new tactile tile range to support and contribute to this important initiative. From linear corduroy designs to embossed round dots, our tiles come in a matte finish that enhances grip and minimizes slips in wetter conditions or high-traffic areas.
With this range, we are one step closer to developing spaces that are not only stylish but also inclusive, where people can move freely with dignity and confidence.

Tatctile paving is made of various materials like concrete, ceramic, stainless steel and vitrified. Vitrified tactile tiles are durable, slip-resistant, and ideal for high-traffic areas, making them a preferred choice for both indoor and outdoor applications.
The laying of tactile paving involves the initial preparation of a level and clean surface, which is followed by the application of tiles with adhesive or mortar. The tiles are applied in accordance with the requirements of the layout (e.g., parallel or perpendicular to the direction of travel) and pressed down, followed by grouting and curing for slip resistance and durability.
Tactile pavement is pavement with raised lines, domes, or other features to communicate safety information to blind, low vision, or another disability type of vision individuals.
