Porcelain stoneware tactile tile LOGES

The “LOGES” system is the result of internationally conducted research and is based on the concept by which the absence of natural guides is overcome wi-thout becoming a substitute for the ability of persons with impaired sight to analyse the sensory indications in the surrounding environment.LOGES is an acronym that means “Line of Orienta-tion, Guidance and Security”. It is a system formed by tactile paving surfaces with specially researched flu-ting and portions in relief designed to be sensed be-neath the feet but which are also visually contrasting. They allow people with impaired sight to “take their bearings and recognize places and sources of dan-ger”, as prescribed by the laws in force (Decree of the President of the Republic 503/1996, Ministerial Decree D.M. 236/1989, etc.)The system provides directional information and war-nings through four different channels:· proprioception and the plantar tactile sense· the manual tactile sense (using the white stick)· the hearing· chromatic contrast and luminance (for the partially sighted)
