Grip Guard floor safety appoints Melbourne distributor

Grip Guard Floor Safety has recently appointed a Melbourne distributor who is fully trained to assess the floor safety needs of homeowners and businesses and provide advice, anti-slip products, and a complete installation service to ensure pedestrian safety.

Grip Guard anti-slip treatment has been formulated to increase the slip resistance of stone-based floor surfaces such as ceramic, porcelain, marble, terrazzo and granite tiles as well as concrete and exposed aggregate. This unique treatment permanently modifies the floor surface without any visible change and is most effective when floors become wet.

Businesses are able to ensure that they have exercised the necessary duty of care require to ensure that staff and guests are protected from the risks of slip and fall injuries. With litigation on the rise, floor safety is not an optional extra. In addition, by addressing floor safety issues, employers are protecting one of their most valuable assets, their staff.

Because of its unique ability to increase slip resistance when wet, homeowners are able to choose their outdoor tiles based on aesthetics rather than slip resistance. Many designer and homeowners want to create a feeling of continuity by using the same tiles both indoors and outdoors, especially in alfresco areas or swimming pool areas directly adjacent to the home. Grip Guard anti-slip treatment can now make this possible.

Grip Guard anti-slip treatment is also idea for areas that become wet within the home such as kitchens, bathrooms, laundries and foyers. Water that is spilled, dripped or tracked into the home can cause floors to become dangerously slippery. These issues are especially important for the very young and the elderly.

Other products and services available from Slip Guard include tactiles for the visually impaired, anti-slip safety stair nosings, Fordex marine grade safety flooring and an extensive range of anti-slip tapes.

Businesses and homeowners who have concerns relating to pedestrian safety can contact Melbourne distributor, Slip Guard on 1300 30 4747 to arrange an obligation-free slip resistance test to determine the co-efficient of friction of their floors. If the floors lack the necessary anti-slip properties to ensure safety, a sample area can be treated to increase slip resistance. The area can then be re-tested to determine the increase achieved with Grip Guard anti-slip treatment. The area will then be measured and a quote provided for the treatment.
