Dorset stone tiles are extremely hard wearing and are some of the hardest tiles we have ever come across.
The bakeries in a large supermarket chain have these tiles installed as standard but their slip resistance is almost non-existent.
No conventional anti slip treatments would work on the tiles and the supermarket had been having staff accidents and near misses as a result of the lack of grip on these tiles when wet or contaminated.
We carried out Pendulum testing to the floors and in some areas of high traffic the results were as low as 7 PTV which is a very high risk of slipping.
The store manager asked for a coloured system to be installed, which would dry quickly and provide a slip resistance surface.
We went in on a Sunday evening when the store was shut and the floor was deep cleaned, prepared, coated and easy for opening time at 4am the following morning.
