Best Places to Apply Anti Slip Coating in and Around Your Home

Your home is your haven. But sometimes our homes are not nearly as safe as we have imagined them to be. Try as we might, there are just some places in our homes that are unsafe. One of the most common household accidents that result in serious injuries is slip and fall and tripping accidents. In fact, more than 16,000  (estimated) of these occur in homes and in businesses each year in North America, and that number is just factoring the incidents that resulted in serious injury and trauma. A dangerous home not only presents an issue for your family members, but also for the visitors who you allow into your home. Fortunately, there is a simple solution that you can consider implementing found in anti slip coating that can applied to otherwise dangerous areas of your home to prevent these tragic incidents from ever taking place.

Pool Deck

Perhaps the most slippery and dangerous area of any home is the decking of the pool. Since it is surrounded by water, and since it is typically made of some form of stone, decking can become very dangerous when wet. Double the danger or triple it when people are actually using the pool and the surface is constantly wet. With anti slip coating, you can make your pool deck a lot safer for swimmers. 

Bathrooms

Countless accidents in the home commonly occur in the bathroom each year. That’s because bathrooms typically have tile flooring as opposed to carpeting, and that makes them prone to slipperiness. While traction pads in the shower can help you avoid taking a spill while bathing, the bathroom floor can be precariously dangerous without proper anti slip coating installed. 

Kitchen Floor

The kitchen is where a lot of people actually spend most of their time (according to numerous studies). That’s because people like to cook, and many families have a dining area in their kitchen. When you are cooking, grease can spatter on the floor and water from the sink can also collect, presenting a most certain danger. A simple application of anti slip coating can increase traction in these areas and drastically reduce the propensity for injury.

Tiled Areas 

It is not uncommon for homes to feature large tiled areas these days. Tile is advantageous because it requires less maintenance than carpeting and is easier to keep clean while being stain-resistant. It also can be dangerous when wet, which is why you should consider installing anti slip coating to your tile to make it safer.

Wood Flooring

Wood flooring, on a scale slipperiness, easily applies to the very same metric as tiled flooring. Both mediums are dangerous when wet. One should consider making these areas safer by adding traction to them with special coatings. 

Patio

The patio is a commonly overlooked danger. Since the patio is outdoors, and since it can be easily covered by water from rain or your sprinkler system running, it’s another risk area that should be assessed. By being progressive in your approach to home safety, you can easily minimize any associated risk of injury for your home and your visitors.
