   A set of yellow truncated domes on the down-ramp in a parking lot. Tactile paving (also called tenji blocks, truncated domes, detectable warnings, tactile tiles, tactile ground surface indicators, tactile walking surface indicators, or detectable warning surfaces) is a system of textured ground surface indicators found at roadsides (such as at curb cuts), by and on stairs, and on railway ...

3. Texture (visual arts) - Wikipedia

   The bumpy texture of tactile paving.. The physical texture, also known as actual texture or tactile texture, refers to the patterns of variations found on a solid surface. . These can encompass a wide range of materials, including but not limited to fur, canvas, wood grain, sand, leather, satin, eggshell, matte, or smooth surfaces like metal or g

4. Slate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slate

   Slate tiles are often used for interior and exterior flooring, [27] stairs, [28] walkways [29] and wall cladding. [30] Tiles are installed and set on mortar and grouted along the edges. Chemical sealants are often used on tiles to improve durability and appearance, [ 31 ] increase stain resistance, [ 27 ] reduce efflorescence , and increase or ...

5. Penrose tiling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penrose_tiling

   The smaller A-tile, denoted A S, is an obtuse Robinson triangle, while the larger A-tile, A L, is acute; in contrast, a smaller B-tile, denoted B S, is an acute Robinson triangle, while the larger B-tile, B L, is obtuse. Concretely, if A S has side lengths (1, 1, φ), then A L has side lengths (φ, φ, 1). B-tiles can be related to such A-tiles ...

   Bonded terrazzo is applied over a sand-cement mortar underbed which sits on top of a concrete slab. The sand-cement layer allows for variations in the finished concrete slab that it sits on. Monolithic terrazzo is applied directly over an extremely flat and high quality concrete sub-floor. Thin-set terrazzo does not require a concrete sub-floor.

8. Pavers (flooring) - Wikipedia

   The first production of concrete pavers in North America was in Canada, in 1973. Due to their success, paving stone manufacturing plants began to open throughout the United States working their way from east to west. [5] The first concrete pavers were shaped just like a brick, 4 by 8 inches (100 mm × 200 mm), and they were called Holland Stones.

   The number of tiles that are steps away from any given tile, for =,,, …, is given by the coordination sequence,,,,, … in which, after the first three terms, each term differs by 16 from the term three steps back in the sequence. One can also define analogous coordination sequences for the vertices of the tiling instead of for its tiles, but ...
