Where Would You Need Slip Or Skid Resistant Flooring?

Skid and slip-resistant flooring products are used in many different types of settings and applications, from pools, factories, bathrooms, retirement homes, restaurants, industrial facilities, showrooms, and other commercial buildings. Many playground and garage settings and gymnasiums are often outfitted with skid-resistant flooring, too, for aesthetic and safety reasons.

These types of flooring solutions are designed and manufactured with properties and features that help reduce slipperiness and increase traction. Some settings that could use concrete or wood, for example, will get slippery when wet. Choosing a slip-resistant flooring solution will help reduce injuries and even damage to the floor - as well as goods and tools that could potentially be dropped and broken.
