Tactile

Tactile by Casalgrande Padana is a collection of fully vitrified, full body technical porcelain tiles. The modular elements that make up the collection provide visually impaired people with readily comprehensible information, warnings and directional guidance, which can be detected underfoot (through blisters and grooves) or through colour and luminance contrast (for partially-sighted people). These modular incorporate the base tactile codes (straight direction, stop/danger) and second-level codes providing information in situations requiring greater caution (90° mandatory turn, crossing/intersection, attention-service and cross with caution).

The company’s substantial and meticulous commitment, with a particular focus on solutions for blind and partially sighted people, has led to the development of LVE® TACTILE, a new system consisting of special fine porcelain stoneware pieces and magnetic transponders, designed to make any environment fully accessible and usable, including by people with visual impairments.
