Surely every surface is slippery when wet?
Believe it or not but this argument would have little or no defense
in a court of law - hence all the compensation rewards we read
about in the media. The HSE are well aware that products like
ours exist that will increase the co efficient level of the floor
when wet and therefore hold a company 100% responsible for any
negligence because they haven't researched what can be done to
prevent slips and trips.
How long can the non slip floor coatings or
treatments last on tiles?
The treatments / coatings can last up to 5 years if maintained
correctly but the reality is we don't know exactly how long because
we have not yet had a case where it has worn off. It all depends
on the foot fall and the cleaning regime.
What's the difference between a non / anti
slip treatment and a coating?
Treatment: is an application that can be used on most tiled/stone
surfaces. Because most tiled surfaces are porous the treatment
can react with the silica in the tile and create a tremendous
vacuum under the foot.
Coating: Coatings are applied on top surfaces like painted
factory concrete floors - wood or metal.
Will the non slip floor tile treatments change
the look of the surface?
This will depend on the specifics of the tile. The most it will
do is slightly lighten a darker tile or in some cases remove the
very high glaze that is creating the slip issue. But this is not
always the case and often the feedback we get from our customers
is they are willing to compromise a small change in aesthetics
if it means making it safe. Because we are a very conscientious
company we believe in making you aware of this before any non
slip treatments are applied. Something other companies may not
make you aware of before it's too late.
Do I get a certificate to say it's safe?
If we pendulum test the area you will get a report and this can
often be seen as a certificate of conformity.
Does the area have to be a minimum size?
Absolutely not, Like we say on our web site"From a Step to a Stadium"
we will consider any size job and give you the best possible advice
without any obligation to proceed. It might just be a cleaning
issue. But whatever the slip issue is we can help solve your problem.
