Slip No More Solutions Providing Relief from Slipping Risk

Slips and falls have become a common problem these days. Sensitive areas such as bathrooms where there is greater risk of slip due to wet floor need mechanisms for prevention from slips. But it isn’t only the wet floors that cause this problem.There are many other reasons that lead to slips. The type of footwear used, dust accumulation due to improper cleaning and the material used for flooring also contribute in causing these accidents. As a matter of fact, almost half of the accidents of falls can be attributed to type of material used in flooring.

Due to use of polished and smoothly finished tiles, accidents of slips and falls have started occurring more often.Outdoor falling may lead to major injury. So, it becomes necessary to ensure safety against slips in interior as well as exterior parts of homes and work places.

The occurrence of slips is due to low traction of the footwear with the surface. This causes lack of friction between the two and the person suffers imbalance which leads to a fall. There are various techniques which can be used to overcome this issue. One such technique is to employ non slip floor coating. They tend to increase the coefficient of friction. This develops slip resistance in the floors and enhances grip so that falls can be avoided.


Benefits of Non Slip Floor Coating:

• Applicable to all types of floors :- Non slip floor coating works effectively irrespective of the flooring material. It can be used in floors made from porous materials such as vinyl, concrete, wood andnon-porous materials like ceramic tiles and porcelain.
  

• No damage to floors :- Certain acid etching chemicals cause damage to floors by dissolving silica. This fades the appearance of floors and it is then impossible to get back the original appearance again. Non slip coating does not have any adverse effect on the appearance.

• Protection from spills and stains :- The non slip floor coating is specially designed to protect the floor against liquid spills and dirt stains. Any spill can easily be cleaned away as the liquid doesn’t get absorbed by the surface. This helps keeps the floor clean and dry.

• Highly durable and long-lasting :- These coatings are not only easy to apply but also durable enough that there is no need of stripping for a period at least five years. They can be used without any disruption to the existent setup.

• Crack and split resistant :- Over a period of time, cracks start occurring in etching chemicals which ruins the appearance of the floor. But slip resistant coatings are built with flexible material which helps in avoiding cracks and splits. They also don’t get peeled off the surface.
