Elan Tile has set the new standard for excellence in tactile indicators. Made from the finest raw materials, Elan Tile surpasses industry standards for porcelain stoneware. This allows the tiles to be used in demanding interior and exterior environments while providing unmatched durability, versatility, and style.
Available in contemporary colors like Cultured Grey, Vogue Black, and Sand Stone, Elan Tile marries form and function. These colors and textures seamlessly integrate into any design scheme. The tiles are an elegant solution for projects requiring both aesthetic appeal and accessibility compliance.
Elan Tile undergoes rigorous testing to confirm slip resistance and product performance over time. All Elan Tiles utilize advanced laser etching technology to ensure consistent depth and diameter across the detectable warning surface area. With a long-lasting R11 slip rating, Elan Tiles promotes safety and accessibility in high-traffic locations.
Elan Truncated Dome Tiles serve as a textured cue underfoot to alert pedestrians of an upcoming drop-off or change in elevation. Ceramic domes are a familiar and proven technology for enhancing accessibility. Elan builds on this legacy with unmatched porcelain quality in terms of performance, longevity, and style.
Elan Truncated Dome Tiles are ideal for:
With a 60% visual contrast between tile and domes, Elan Truncated Dome Tiles meet stringent detectability requirements. Dome spacing, diameter, height, and overall coverage area also adhere to accessibility regulations across Canada. Elan Tiles carries cUPC certification and contributes to LEED building certification.
Elan Wayfinding Bar Tiles incorporate discrete raised bars running in the direction of travel. The linear texture provides a cue for sight-impaired individuals to navigate safely through open interior spaces.
Elan Wayfinding Bars guide users along:
The elongated raised bars indicate directionality through the layout of the tiles themselves. Minimal depth makes them easy to traverse for those with mobility devices. Wayfinding Tiles can also incorporate directional arrows, numbers, letters, or symbols as added visual cues. Custom signage further enhances usability.
With limitless design options, Elan Wayfinding Tiles integrate seamlessly into any floorscape. Bars run perpendicular, diagonal, or parallel to walls and walkways. Mix and match with field tiles like granite, marble or porcelain pavers to match interior décor requirements.
