Anti-slip coatings
Our liquid-applied anti-slip coatings enhance surface traction while maintaining aesthetic appeal. These ISO 9001-certified solutions work on tiles, vinyl, and stone surfaces. Treatments allow immediate use with minimal disruption to business operations.
Slip assessment testing
We conduct HSE-approved pendulum slip assessments to evaluate surface safety. This scientific measurement identifies risk areas and informs appropriate treatment solutions. Testing helps maintain compliance with current health and safety legislation.
Access ramps
Our non-slip ramp solutions ensure DDA-compliant access for disabled users. We install surfaces that balance safety requirements with practical usability. Systems meet accessibility standards while maintaining durability in all weather conditions.
Tactile surfaces
Tactile hazard warning surfaces provide essential navigation cues for visually impaired individuals. Our installations meet regulatory requirements for public spaces. These textured surfaces combine safety compliance with long-term performance.
Tile treatments
Specialist treatments for ceramic, porcelain, and quarry tiles enhance slip resistance without altering appearance. The virtually invisible solution works on wet or dry surfaces. Applications allow immediate foot traffic with lasting safety benefits.
