• National Construction Code 
• Section D3.8 
• Australian/New Zealand Standard 1428.1 2009 – Design for access and mobility – Design for access and mobility: General requirements for access – New building works

Installation Instructions

1. Use masking tape mark the area where the tactiles have to be installed.

2. Place the tactile template into position and tape corners to hold the template firm.

3. Using an 8mm diameter drill bit drill holes 20mm deep.

4. Once the holes in the plate have been completely drilled, remove and vacuum up to remove dust from in and around the holes.

OPTION: You can if you wish place a small amount of adhesive into drilled holes before inserting tactile.

5. Place stem of Tactile into hole and tap in firmly with rubber hammer.

Do not install Tactiles in the last line of holes if you are continuing to use template. Place the first row of the template holes over the last row of drilled holes. This will make sure the line will continue to run straight. Continue as 2 – 5 above.

Luminance Contrast
The Building Code of Australian/New Zealand and the AS/NZS 1428.4.1 require a minimum luminance contrast of 30%. Guide lines are as follows:

• Integrated tactile indicators – not less than 30% across the entire area 
• Discrete (individual) tactile indicators – not less than 45%
