The demand for high quality road stud is increasing and the Dutch SME was receiving more and more inquiries from all over the world. LUX Roadstuds has been founded to cater to this demand.
Van Wylick Wegdekreflectoren BV has been in business for over 30 years and is considered a specialist in the field of road studs. Back in 1993, CEO Chris van Wylick invented an application of solid glass road studs in concrete tiles, branded as ‘Tile by Van Wylick’. Because of contacts within the infrastructure sector and with local governments throughout the Netherlands, Van Wylick was aware of the demands within the market. He was able to translate those demands into a well-developed product.
The glass road studs are replacing the plastic road studs that were commonly used. Van Wylick was able to convince the Dutch government that installing road studs within the road surface, instead of glueing one on top of the road, is a more durable solution. As with many things in life, cheap is often expensive.
Those synthetic road studs that are glued on top of the road surface are no longer used in The Netherlands and are replaced by glass (or LED) road studs. LUX Roadstuds experiences this trend in other countries too.
LUX Roadstuds is part of Van Wylick Wegdek-reflectoren BV, being – very importantly – an installation company. All road studs in The Netherlands and Belgium are sold including installation. Through this way, Van Wylick can ensure their correct installation and, if necessary, provide advice on suitable application.
For the installation in asphalt Van Wylick has developed an installation machine. The machine will mill a hole in the asphalt at the correct diameter and depth. After that the road studs can by installed, fixated by a 2-component adhesive. The machine has a measurement system to keep track of the distance between the road studs and it it has a suck and swipe system to clean up after drilling procedure.
With this machine 500 to 700 road studs can be installed per day. Depending on heart to heart distance and project specific details.
