The Value & The Costs of
Tactile Navigation Aids
The Value
Creating a home with tactile surfaces for navigation ensures that spaces are accessible and comfortably maneuverable for homeowners with visual impairments. Texturing floor and wall surfaces in specific patterns with varied materials and different touch sensations can enhance spatial awareness and safety. These helpful details can be thoughtfully incorporated into the home’s design. Tactile navigation aids empower individuals with visual impairments to move more freely and confidently within their homes.
The Costs
Tactile design features in modern homes involves a thoughtful and personal approach to architecture and interior design, reflecting in the project's overall design fees. The cost of these tactile navigation aids however is based on the extent to which these features are integrated and the materials and technologies selected. Textured wall treatments, for example, might range from a simple textured painting treatment to an installation of premium materials. Braille signage may also be valuable particularly near switches and appliances. Despite the additional costs, investing in tactile navigation aids is an investment in creating a home that prioritizes the well-being and independence of all its occupants.
