Tactile map on a stainless-steel stand
Tactile map showing the locations in a building that are most important for blind users, with Braille translation, produced on a composite board fixed to a stainless-steel stand. The stand is bolted to a concrete floor with concealed fasteners.
Optimal tactile-map size for blind users: 40x30 cm
Other sizes: 21x30 cm, 50x70 cm.
Stand height: 90-110 cm.
Stand made of brushed stainless steel or powder-coated.
Installed by bolting to the surface with 4 screws and concealed nuts under a sheet-metal cover at floor level.
Tactile maps are special maps and plans produced with raised features and often supplemented with Braille descriptions. This allows blind and visually impaired people to learn by touch about the layout of rooms, directions of travel and the functions of a building.
In front of the City Hall, the map was installed on an elegant stainless-steel stand, ensuring durability and resistance to weather conditions. Its position immediately by the entrance means that every visitor – regardless of disability – can independently find the route to the appropriate departments and offices.
Such solutions form part of modern accessible architecture, providing equal opportunities to all users of public spaces. Tactile maps are not only practical but also informative and educational, representing an important step towards social inclusion.
We manufacture tactile maps to order. The size of the map and the stand can be adjusted.
We also offer Braille translation for ordered maps.
The building plan should be supplied in vector format.
Note: the map should identify the locations that are most important for blind users, such as the entrance, lift, reception/security desk, WC, secretariat and stairs. A blind person will not memorise the building's entire layout from a single touch of the map; the aim is to enable them to reach a point where they can obtain assistance. We recommend keeping this important issue in mind when designing tactile maps.
