Success story | Quirón Clinic – Badalona

Quirón Clinic in Badalona has entrusted EMAC® Group’s podotactile accessibility solutions to make its interior spaces safer, easier to read, and more intuitive to navigate for everyone.

In a healthcare environment, where patients, medical staff, and visitors coexist, clear orientation and risk prevention are essential. For this reason, the intervention focused on strengthening podotactile signage along main routes and sensitive areas, with special consideration for people with visual impairments.

Installed solutions

Novoband® Access

For this project, Novoband® Access was selected—our aluminum podotactile guiding strip designed to accompany people throughout their journey. A solution that not only marks the path but also transforms the flooring into an accessible and intuitive orientation tool.

• Podotactile guiding strip that helps interpret the direction of the route.
• Installation on finished flooring, ideal for facilities that remain operational.
• Resistant to heavy traffic typical of corridors and high-circulation areas.
• Tactile texture designed to be detectable with a cane and through foot contact.

At Quirón Clinic Badalona, Novoband® Access turns corridors into clearer and safer routes, enabling everyone to reach their destination with greater confidence and independence.

Novotop® Access

The solution is complemented by Novotop® Access, our podotactile warning studs. These become a key alert point before stairs, ramps, or level changes, anticipating risk and helping users react in time.

• Podotactile studs that indicate risk areas or changes in level.
• Non-slip surface that enhances safety underfoot.
• Tactile relief clearly perceptible for people with visual impairments.
• Aesthetic integration into interior flooring without disrupting the healthcare facility’s visual identity.

In this project, Novotop® Access acts as a silent yet powerful language: it warns, protects, and reinforces safety at critical points throughout the building.

Accessibility that adds safety and confidence

The intervention at Quirón Clinic Badalona is an example of how technical solutions can enhance the quality of a healthcare space. Novoband® Access and Novotop® Access not only comply with accessibility regulations, but also improve the experience of everyone who moves through the building—patients, families, and professionals alike.

These are discreet solutions, designed to work “in the background,” yet their impact is felt where it matters most: safety, orientation, and the sense of confidence when moving through the clinic.

At EMAC® Group, we continue to collaborate with clinics and hospitals to create environments that are safer, more accessible, and more human.
