Anti Slip Floor Coatings prevent Accidental Injuries

Many commercial and public buildings have tiled halls and corridors that can withstand the heavy foot traffic that is constantly walking on the surface. When wet, tiles become slippery and may be dangerous. However with an application of an anti slip floor coating school students, government workers and patrons of libraries and courthouses can walk across the tiles without endangering themselves. In the winter and spring when snow outside is tracked into the building the collections of puddles on the floor add to the danger of slipping and falling down. This is where the industrial floor coating helps to prevent moisture from making a hallway slick. Polished into the tile with a buffer the ceramic floor coating is able to provide traction for anyone that is walking the corridors of a public building.

Depending upon the type of shoes that are worn by an individual and the amount of wear that has removed the tread from the sole of the shoe a person that is navigating the halls of a public building might slip and slide on their own without the added danger of water spots after a rain or tracking in snow from outside. Because we live in a society that is prone to suing the owner or municipality of a building where an injury has resulted from a slip and fall accident the use of coatings that can add traction to the smooth surface of a tiled hall and stairway is something that can reduce the risk of a lawsuit. If there is less of a chance that an individual will slide and fall down then the probability of being sued is reduced and the insurance premium on the building can arguably be reduced also.  

Although the buildings that are constructed with ceramic flooring are designed to last for generations there are people that walk the halls wearing shoes that can scuff the finish. Athletic shoes in particular can leave marks on the finish that need to be buffed out by an industrial floor polisher. In addition to being an anti slip floor coating the products that are making corridors safer for the public are also helping to protect the floor from skid marks and scuffs that are left as someone's shoe is turned on its heel. Caring for the look of the flooring by offering protection to the tiles themselves the use of a ceramic floor coating is allowing custodians to keep pace with the amount of foot traffic that is constantly walking across the top of the freshly polished tiles.
