Slip-resistant flooring by Safety Flooring for Health and Aged Care facilities

Slip-resistant flooring once meant unattractive, ribbed metal or special ceramic expanses which were cold and hard underfoot, but today selecting slip-resistant flooring is easier as it's designed with safety in mind and looks good too.

Comcork Flooring from Safety Floorings offers unique flooring options designed to keep senior citizens safe while moving around their home or residential care facility.

"Comcork Walk Easy provides a floor surface of unparalleled safety and convenience for both internal and external areas in health and aged care centres," says Loretta Pearson, Director of Safety Floorings, exclusive NSW distributors for Comcork Flooring products. "And when you consider that falls among older people are commonplace and increase significantly in people aged 75 years and older, its clear safety flooring is a necessity."

Walk Easy or Low Profile are proven, safe flooring options for internal use in facilities which cannot afford the risk of an elderly resident slipping and will also stand up to heavy duty wheelchair or walker usage.

Safety is the number one priority for all health and aged care centres. Designed to handle the toughest conditions and the most stringent health and safety requirements of health and aged care facilities, the benefits of Walk Easy and Low Profile include softness underfoot, non-slip technology, noise reduction and durability.

Walk Easy is also suited for high traffic areas where spills, leaks, incontinence and odours may be problematic and where a traditional carpet will quickly become worn and stained. The durability and manageability of Walk Easy offers a solution to these problems as well as improved noise reduction and comfort underfoot in comparison to hard floors.

"While Walk Easy or Low Profile are solutions for internal areas such as corridors, canteens and foyers, Safety Flooring also offers Aqua Deck for outdoor areas," says Ms Pearson.

Comcork Flooring carries a "Good Environmental Choice Rating" from the Australian Ecolabel Program allowing its use in any Green Star project. All products are 100% Australian made using recycled materials.
