Haptix, a brand of CMT Group, combines accessibility expertise with a strong foundation in civil construction to deliver high-quality safety solutions nationwide.
Creating accessible, safe and functional public spaces often involves more than a single product. From tactile ground surface indicators and Braille signage to bike racks, bollards and skate deterrents, getting the right products from the right suppliers can make a project significantly easier.
That’s why Haptix has expanded its product range, making it easier for architects, contractors, developers, councils and property owners to source a wider range of accessibility and asset protection products — with supply and installation available nationwide.
Haptix has traditionally specialised in tactile ground surface indicators (TGSIs), supplying and installing tactile products across New Zealand.
Our expanded range now includes products designed to support accessibility, wayfinding, asset protection and the functionality of public spaces.
Our new range of Braille signage has been designed for everyday public environments, helping provide accessible information for people who are blind or have low vision.
The initial range includes 15 standard signs covering common facilities such as:
Signs are available in English or bilingual Te Reo Māori and English, with options including stainless steel construction, raised Braille, embossed lettering and tactile imagery.
Available sizes include portrait, square, circular and landscape formats, providing options for different environments and installation requirements.
The signage has been developed with reference to Blind Low Vision NZ guidelines, helping make accessible wayfinding a consideration from the early stages of a project.
Our expanded range of bike racks provides practical bicycle parking solutions for a wide variety of environments.
Options include wall-mounted and space-saving designs, making them suitable for:
Bike rack configurations are available for 1 to 10 bikes, with models including dynamic, surface-mount and wall-mount options.
Depending on the application, products are available in stainless steel, galvanised steel and powder-coated finishes.
Bollards provide a simple and effective way to help protect buildings, infrastructure and pedestrian areas from unwanted vehicle access.
Haptix now offers a range of surface-mounted bollards in stainless steel, galvanised steel and powder-coated finishes.
A variety of sizes are available, including options ranging from approximately 115mm diameter x 1100mm high through to 220mm diameter x 1200mm high.
With straightforward surface-mount installation, these bollards can be incorporated into a range of commercial, public and infrastructure projects.
We have also expanded our range of skate deterrents, adding four new profiles in stainless steel and brass.
Skate deterrents can be used to help protect vulnerable edges, ledges and architectural features from damage while integrating into the overall design of the space.
The expanded range gives designers and contractors more options when selecting a finish and profile suited to the application.
Tactile ground surface indicators remain a core part of what Haptix does.
Our range includes tactile products suitable for different applications and substrates, including concrete, asphalt and timber.
Products include aluminium, stainless steel and polyurethane options, with different colours and finishes available depending on the requirements of the project.
Polyurethane tactiles, for example, provide a durable and cost-effective option that is particularly suited to public spaces.
We can also assist with luminance contrast testing, helping determine whether tactile products provide the required visual contrast against their surrounding surface.
The biggest benefit of the expanded Haptix range is simple: you can source more of the products required for accessibility and asset protection from one supplier.
Rather than coordinating multiple suppliers and installers for different elements of a project, Haptix can supply and install a broader range of products nationwide.
That can mean tactile indicators, Braille signage, bike racks, bollards and skate deterrents can be considered together as part of the same project.
For contractors, developers, councils, architects and property managers, this can simplify procurement and installation while providing a more consistent approach across the project.
Haptix works with projects across New Zealand, supplying and installing accessibility and asset protection products for commercial, residential, education, infrastructure and public environments.
Whether you need tactile indicators for a new development, Braille signage for an accessible facility, bike racks for a public space, bollards for asset protection or skate deterrents for architectural features, our expanded range provides more options through one supplier.
