Precision Manufacturing for Long-Lasting SMC Tactile Tiles
Kaerda (Jiangsu Lantai) recognizes the critical role of tactile paving in ensuring accessibility and safety in public and private spaces. Our Sheet Molding Compound (SMC) tactile tiles are engineered as a superior solution, leveraging the inherent advantages of SMC which make it a perfect material for this application: exceptional high strength, an extended service life, maintenance-free performance, and excellent anti-wearing characteristics. We are committed to producing high-quality, compliant tactile tiles that offer clear guidance for visually impaired individuals while withstanding the rigors of high-traffic environments and diverse weather conditions.
Our expertise in SMC formulation allows us to develop compounds specifically optimized for tactile paving applications. These formulations prioritize resistance to weathering and long-term wear, ensuring the tactile patterns remain distinct and effective throughout their lifespan. A key feature of Kaerda’s SMC tactile tiles is the integral coloration, where pigments are thoroughly mixed into the SMC material itself before molding. This means the vibrant safety colors (such as warning yellow or guidance white/grey) are consistent throughout the tile, preventing fading or wearing away, unlike surface-painted alternatives, thus maintaining their crucial visual contrast and aesthetic appeal for years.
Advanced Compression Molding for Tactile Tile Excellence
Kaerda (Jiangsu Lantai) employs advanced compression molding technology for the production of its SMC Tactile Tiles, a method highly suitable for achieving the precision and consistency required for these critical safety components. Our facilities are equipped with 16 different tonnage molding machines, allowing us to efficiently manufacture tactile tiles of various standard sizes and custom specifications. This technology ensures high accuracy in replicating the specific tactile patterns (e.g., blister or corduroy/directional patterns) crucial for correct interpretation by users. Furthermore, compression molding offers high efficiency in production cycles and maintains the dimensional stability of the tiles, all while ensuring a competitive cost structure. Kaerda’s investment in modern presses and process controls results in tactile tiles that are not only durable but also precisely formed to meet national and international accessibility standards.

Expert Design, Customization, and Safety Focus for Tactile Paving
The inherent design flexibility of SMC, combined with Kaerda’s (Jiangsu Lantai’s) material expertise, allows for the creation of highly effective and customizable tactile paving solutions. Our engineering and R&D teams understand the critical importance of clear, unambiguous tactile guidance. We can customize tactile tiles in various standard and project-specific patterns, sizes, and a wide range of integral colors to ensure optimal visual contrast and adherence to local and international accessibility standards. We focus on formulating cost-effective yet exceptionally durable SMC compounds that ensure a long service life and are virtually maintenance-free, reducing lifecycle costs for public and commercial installations. Beyond wear and weather resistance, the non-conductive nature of SMC also contributes to pedestrian safety in areas with potential electrical hazards. Kaerda is committed to collaborating with architects, specifiers, and municipalities to provide tactile paving solutions that enhance safety and accessibility for everyone.
