Stay Safe with Anti-Slip Flooring
Why and Where to Use Non-Slip Flooring
Anti-slip flooring is a useful product for improving safety both indoors and outdoors and is frequently required in public buildings to comply with the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (DDA). Non-slip flooring prevents slips and trips, one of the most common reasons for workplace accidents. People with disabilities are more likely to slip or trip so installing safety flooring helps ensure DDA compliance and keep employees and visitors safe on your business premises or in public buildings.
Who Can Benefit From Anti-Slip Flooring?
Any building that receives a large amount of pedestrian traffic can benefit from non-slip flooring. This includes office buildings, warehouses and factories but also public buildings such as schools and hospitals. Anti-slip flooring can be useful across a wide range of surfaces both indoors and outdoors. Ideally, anywhere with an increased slip risk should have anti-slip flooring in place. Some of the most common trouble spots are stairs, ramps and bridges as well as other surfaces which are slippery or can get wet or icy. We have a wide range of solutions available which are suitable for retro-fitting to existing flooring.
Which Anti-Slip Flooring Is Right For You?
A wide range of safety flooring exists for a number of different purposes. Which one is the right choice for you depends on the environment you want to use it in.
Anti-slip matting
Non-slip matting is ideal for improving grip in wet and oily areas. It is easy to relocate, which makes it ideal for use in a wide range of industries to reduce slips in kitchen or catering environments as well as heavy-duty industrial environments.
Anti-slip tape
Non-slip tape is easy to apply due to its self-adhesive backing and can be used in a wide range of circumstances. It is available in black, black and yellow as well as other colours. It is commonly used on stairs, ramps and other surfaces. It is extremely flexible, suitable for different floor surfaces, machinery, vehicles and in marine environments.
Anti-slip tiles
Non-slip tiles are tape patches with a self-adhesive backing for easy application. Ideal for a wide range of environments, they can be used on smooth tiled floors or steps and stairs.
Anti-slip stair treads
Non-slip stair treads consist of an abrasive non-slip surface which has been bonded to aluminium plates, providing extra grip on stairs or metal grid platforms. They are hard-wearing and easy to install.
Anti-slip sheets
Non-slip sheets are made from UV stabilised, hardwearing silicone carbide with a gritted surface. They are ideal for refurbishing damaged or slippery floors both indoors and outdoors, for example ramps or pedestrian bridges.
Anti-slip stair nosing
Like the anti-slip sheets, stair nosing sheets are made from UV stabilised, hard wearing silicone carbide with a gritted surface. They add slip resistance to stair edges, making them a cost-effective solution for preventing slips on stairs both indoors and outdoors.
