Do I need Non-Slip/ Safety Flooring for my Commercial Space?
There are many benefits to installing high-quality non-slip and safety flooring in commercial and retail environments. The obvious benefit being that the risk of slips and falls is reduced for both employees, visitors and residents which in turn reduces the risk of litigation. In addition to this, non-slip and safety floors are hardwearing, easy to clean and maintain, and anti-bacterial - with many brands having ranges which are specially designed to be anti-microbial and resistant to MRSA, Influenza and a myriad of viruses and bacteria.

Furthermore, some non-slip and safety flooring is even specially designed for those with cognitive considerations such as dementia and so ensure that the visual impact of flooring aids in safe mobility as well as reducing visual disturbance and increasing underfoot grip. Non-slip and safety flooring is relatively straightforward to install for professional services such as Hamilton Flooring and is recommended that professional services be employed rather than DIY approaches.
