Short Description
Slip resistant floors are essential for a safe environment, both in the home and in public areas such as hospitals, swimming pools, and shopping centres. With any product chosen for safety reasons, there will still be a human factor which cannot be controlled. The risk of slipping, falling and causing injury is always there. Certain floorings also reduce pain and fatigue from standing.
