Why choose granite tactile paving stones?

Floors must not only be beautiful, but also easy to walk on. In public environments, they must also meet some statutory functional requirements, especially to be more accessible to people with disabilities. Important destination points such as walkways, stairs, information areas, elevators and toilets must be able to be discovered and found, even by people with disabilities.

This includes that walkways should be equipped with tactile and visual “guidance”, that danger areas in front of stairs and elevators should have warning signs, and that wet rooms should use light contrast so that toilets and sinks are easily detectable.

Guides and warning areas on the floor can be solved by offsetting materials and brightness contrast. Today, there are no specifications on how to design guides, other than a description or order that allows the best technical solution to be selected for the environment. There are many different solutions to choose from with granite tactile paving stones.

Granite tactile paving stones are used to take care of the needs of everyone to be able to orient themselves in public spaces. These are designed for the visually impaired and blind as part of a universal design strategy. Our tactile quite meets the requirements for the use of street primers and consists of a sloping direction with sinusoidal ribs on top and a sloping warning with a round ball on top.

With the development of the tram network and the continuous reconstruction of bus stops to make them more suitable for people with disabilities, tactile granite paving is becoming more and more common.
