What treatment is right for you?
We work with our clients and suppliers to ensure we recommend a professional slip risk assessment and solution that is tailored to their flooring surface needs. There are four elements that we take into consideration in providing the best results.
Flooring Surface Materials
How the flooring surface is finished (tile, wood, polished concrete, etc) would often indicate what the appropriate skid-resistant application would be.
Traffic Levels
The level of footfall, albeit light, moderate or heavy would have a determination on the appropriate non-slip treatment solutions
Environmental Conditions
What elements the surface is exposed to is important, whether wet areas, seasonal exposure - indoors or outdoors
Aesthetics & Appearance
Slip-resistant flooring blends safety with style—protection that complements any design aesthetic
What is Acid Treatment?
What is Acid Treatment?
Acid etching is a chemical process that slightly roughens or alters the surface profile of flooring to improve grip. A mild acidic solution is applied, which reacts with the floor material to create a micro-textured surface.
The benefits include increasing the slip resistance without major surface alterations, its cost-effective and does not require heavy mechanical grinding
What is PU Sealer?
What is PU Sealer?
A polyurethane (PU) sealer solution embedded with anti-slip aggregates is applied to an existing surface, enhancing traction while maintaining a clean appearance.
The benefits include durability, resistance to chemicals, UV Rays and foot traffic. The slip reistance levels are customisable (fine to coarse texture) and it can be -re-applied in time as oppsed to floor replacement
What are Anti-Slip Coatings?
What are Anti-Slip Coatings?
Anti-slip coatings are specialised treatments that add traction to slippery surfaces. For floors (tile, concrete, metal), they use textured additives for instant grip.
For acrylic baths/showers, clear coatings provide invisible protection. Other examples of Anti-Slip coatings include specialist paints
