Product Features
· Parallel linear grooves running along the bar length — directional visual reinforcement + anti-slip traction
· Groove direction matches the direction of travel — bar profile and groove texture both point in the direction of the guidance path; compound directional signal
· SUS304 or SUS316L stainless steel
· One-piece stamping
· Flush embedded installation
· Good anti-slip in both wet and dry conditions — grooves channel water away from the bar contact zone
· Suitable for indoor and sheltered outdoor applications
· Visually distinctive — linear groove pattern provides strong contrast and a defined directional visual cue

Applications
· Subway and metro station concourses (covered) — the most widely used stainless bar finish for sheltered transit concourse guidance paths
· Airport terminal interior guidance paths — long guidance routes through terminal buildings with moderate foot traffic
· Hospital main entrance and reception guidance paths — high foot traffic, occasional wet floor from outdoor weather tracking
· Shopping centre main atrium guidance paths — wet floor risk from rain tracking at building entrances
· Government building main corridors — standard indoor guidance path specification for institutional buildings
Product Advantages
· Directional visual reinforcement — the linear groove pattern runs in the same direction as travel, creating a double visual signal (bar shape + groove direction) that improves path readability for people with low vision
· Versatile indoor-outdoor performance — line grooved provides meaningfully better wet-grip than plain flat while maintaining a less aggressive appearance than checker diamond; the most commonly specified stainless bar for covered transit environments
FAQ
Q: Is line grooved suitable for outdoor installations?
A: Line grooved provides good performance for sheltered outdoor and semi-covered environments. For fully exposed outdoor installations subject to heavy rain, frost or contamination, the checker diamond or carborundum insert bar provides higher anti-slip reliability. Line grooved is the standard specification for covered transit concourses and covered entrance areas with light rain exposure.
Q: Does the groove direction need to align with the travel direction?
A: For the line grooved bar, the grooves should run parallel to the direction of travel so that the groove direction reinforces the directional cue of the bar. When the path changes direction, the bar strip orientation changes accordingly, and the groove direction will naturally follow if the strip is installed correctly.
