Anti-Slip Services

Prevention is better than cure!

Slip fall accidents can occur in many places around the home and at the office. Stepping out of the bath, standing on one foot in the shower, stepping out of the shower, wet front entrance steps, wet patios, sloping pathways, kitchen floors, etc. are all potential hazards in the home. Not surprisingly, with so many different slip-fall hazards, effective prevention may require more than one method.

Finding the best answer

An effective answer to anti-slip regime may involve

particle enhanced coating
surface etch
abrasive appliqué
anti-slip tread
anti-slip stair nosings

Surfaces in the bathroom and around the home that need some level of slip-resistance include bath, shower, bathroom floor, kitchen floor, laundry floor, patio, entrance steps, pathways, poolside, etc

The very young & very old are
most at risk to slip fall accidents.

Worldwide Refinishing has it covered...

Baths & Shower Trays
In baths and shower trays we incorporate a polymer particle system during the resurfacing process.

Bathroom Floors

For bathroom floor tiles we have 'Anchor', a chemical system which modifies the micro profile of the tile, resulting in a substantial increase in the static and dynamic coefficient of resistance of the surface when wet. The application is not a coating and cannot therefore peel or yellow.

Maintenance is achieved simply by cleaning and rinsing the floor to remove surface contamination left behind during evaporation - soap scum, hardwater deposits, body fats, general soilage.

Stairs, Steps & Ramps

For stairways, steps, ramps and platforms subject to high pedestrian traffic or critical performance, anti-slip appliques, anti-slip treads, commercial treads and stair nosings are available.

Nosings are generally fitted in factory and warehouse locations, whereas the smarter commercial treads with a range of inlay colours are fitted in retails and office locations.

Concrete Floors

For light duty concrete floors, hard, durable, thin-film coatings with anti-slip particle content are suitable.

The floor is cleaned to remove contamination and repaired as necessary. A minimum of 2 coats are applied to give the strength required.

Tiled Floors

For general tiled areas other than in the bathroom, where change of appearance is not required, the 'Anchor' chemical system is most suited, both indoors and outdoors.

When aggressive slip resistance is needed and appearance is secondary, the tiles should be prepped and resurfaced with a hard, durable, clear or pigmented floor coating.
