Anti-slip flooring is a floor surface made with texture or additives that increase traction and reduce slips and falls.
Understanding Anti-Slip Flooring
Traction comes from added texture. Installers broadcast aggregate into the wet coating or mix a fine additive into the topcoat, then seal it in.
Choosing the Right Texture
More texture means more grip but also harder cleaning. Wet areas and ramps need a stronger profile. Showrooms and offices usually need only light texture.
Measuring Slip Resistance
Traction is often rated by coefficient of friction. Check the rating that applies to the space and the shoes, wet or dry conditions, and any code requirements.
Practical Tips
Test a sample panel first. Keep texture even from wall to wall, and tell customers how to clean textured floors so the grip lasts.
