Anti-slip floor slab
Anti-slip for floor slabs – Safety on smooth metal surfaces
Floor slabs are a robust and frequently used solution for walkways, stairs and platforms in industrial and maritime environments. They are found on ships, oil rigs, factory halls and public buildings, where they must withstand heavy wear and tear.
The characteristic structure of floorboards – the raised “tears” or patterns – is designed to provide extra grip. But in practice, it is often not enough. When floorboards become damp, oily or covered in condensation, they become slippery and can pose a significant safety risk. This can lead to falls and injuries that are costly for both businesses and users.
Why choose anti-slip flooring?
Textured metal surfaces can lose their slip resistance over time, especially in wet or oily conditions. Without additional protection, you risk:
- Falls and work accidents
- Production stoppage and increased absence
- Rising costs for compensation and insurance
Recommended areas of application:
- Walkways, stairs and platforms on ships and offshore installations
- Industrial halls, factories and warehouses with metal floors
- Emergency and fire escape stairs with metal steps
- Engine room and technical installations
