Tactile installation inspection: pattern, orientation and attachment

BULDX product guides2 min read

Inspect tactile installation against the approved plan, not just the product delivery label. The right component can still be installed in the wrong orientation or location.

APPLICATION ILLUSTRATIONAI-generated application illustration for this guide. Not a completed BULDX project or an installation drawing.

Selection considerations

Check directional alignment, warning-zone locations and route continuity. Verify that obstacles and door movements have not changed since the layout was approved. Use the applicable project requirements to review spacing and finished geometry.

Inspect attachment and edges on the actual floor. Record each location with the installed BULDX code and any outstanding issues. Resolve discrepancies before opening the route, then retain the final layout for future repairs. This preserves both product identity and the intended wayfinding arrangement.

Before you specify or order

  • Compare installation with the approved plan
  • Verify pattern orientation
  • Record final locations and product codes

Common question

Is correct product delivery enough for acceptance?

No. The installed orientation, location, attachment and route continuity also need checking.
