The VAK© range from marcal offers tactile and wayfinding maps designed to provide 100% accessible signage for all users, including people with visual impairments. Each map is designed to ensure easy, intuitive, and inclusive reading.

-“A signage design intended for accessibility”.
VAK© tactile maps are developed according to universal signage requirements. Their design incorporates schematic maps showing circulation flows, representations of buildings and destination areas, a hierarchical summary of information, a format adapted for tactile reading, enhanced color contrasts, and standardized pictograms.

The VAK© autonomous_visual_kinesthetic system, offers full access solutions: space coding, high-contrast embossed characters, braille transcription, high and low relief elements for optimal haptic reading, and a selection of colors to prioritize visual information

-”Defining the content is essential for creating the plan”.
Orientation plans incorporate the necessary elements for an immediate understanding of the place: internal and external circulation flows, accessible routes and detectable tactil floor devices, access points and entrances to the building, key points of the premises: reception, information, elevators, stairs, toilets, services…

-”Custom manufacturing allows for integration with the architecture”.
VAK© marcal tactile maps can be custom-made to be integrated into existing architectural surfaces (accessible counters, reception desk, etc.), or into a custom-made support system.
They can also be integrated into some of the products and ranges such as amer 915© marcal and Link Table© marcal, specially designed to guarantee the passage of a wheelchair

For consistent and comprehensive accessibility signage, the tactile maps can be combined with detectable tactil floor systems such as Podoinox©, Podotone©, and Cedo©.

These solutions help to visualize pedestrian flow and ensure safety in the environment.

Vak© marcal plans are made on request.
The specific project requirements and the level of detail will determine the map’s characteristics and the materials chosen for its manufacture.
Vak© marcal prioritizes bio-based materials from renewable sources for its maps, primarily intended for indoor use. However, other materials and tactile representation methods can be used depending on the requirements of the model being represented.
