Anti slip floor coverings are designed for areas that are prone to slips, i.e. areas with water.

They come in various gauges to combat different levels of slip. This type of vinyl is usually found in commercial kitchens, wet rooms, shower areas, toilets, hygienic areas and behind bars, generally places that take a lot of foot traffic and require a safety element to it.

​

This type of flooring can also be used for wet bare foot traffic, i.e. wet rooms, edges of swimming pools, showers etc in which cases specific products are available, usually safety flooring with an embossed surface to help with bare foot.

​

As this type of flooring is primarily intended for areas that are going to have a lot of surface water, they usually have a skirting feature laid with them. The majority of the time this is where we take the flooring 100-150mm up the walls and finish into a capping strip, this is known as cap and cove. This method is designed to enable easier cleaning and ensure that water can't escape around the perimeter.

​

Safety flooring is widely available and manufactured by several companies, Altro, Polysafe, Tarkett Marley, Gerflor and Forbo. Each company have several ranges each of which has a large selection of colours available. For more information please see our                 page.
