This is going to sound really daft but is it possible to slip on an anti slip floor? Say even if the flooring is rain soaked?

I take it non slip is different to anti slip as some places that advertise say or claim its both.

 

Altro is probably the best slip-resistant flooring on the market, Nothing in my opinion is 'Non slip' cos if you have oil etc on your feet with certain shoes, it will become slippy.

Altro and other copies of it are widely used in shower rooms/wet rooms etc and does a very good job, you'd be hard put to go on your *** in a shower room fitted with it, even during the hottest baby oil session with the missus! But I'd say nothing is really non slip, if you know what I mean?!?

 

Don't drop the soap....

 

^^^ What he said, I've been in various locations with this type of flooring, and 99.99% of the time it does exactly what it says, but with the wrong type of contaminant on the wrong type of soles, WHAHEY, Torvil and Dean time.

 

Please elaborate on your past experiences?

 

Cheers guys,

The flooring I was on about is this:

Losberger UK, structures, event, exhibition, marquees, temporary, Walter, TMB, emergency, hospitality - Options - Floors

Would it be possible to slip on this stuff? There not that forthcoming on the spec which means they don't hold out much faith in it?

 

**** off.

 

I've never used the stuff, so I can't comment, sorry!

I'll try and get some info on it though

 

 

Non-slip and anti-slip are not really definitive terms.

All they're trying to say is that the floor is coated with a friction coating which reduces the chance of slipping.

As previous posters have said - the wrong type of contaminant and it's possible / probably you'll slip. For example if it's in a marquee then if your guests tread in a lot of mud then the floor will be slippy because you're standing on mud and not the floor beneath

 

Back on board are you now mate? My credit card is itching....

All joking apart, some **** infracted me to oblivion last night for not being as stupid as them.

Where were you at the time?

 

Wasn't really on last night as I was knackered after work I must catch up with your infractions though, what did you say that offended? I'm still on 4 points atm, so I better behave or I'll get another 15 day ban

 

I said nothing out of order, but someone doesn't like me.

15 day's you say?

 

Sounds about right I know the feeling

Yep 15ish days, not too bothered as I've been too busy at work recently for it to matter!

 

Coooo-eeee.......

 

I have Altro flooring in my upstairs wet room. The 'nippled' look is as good as you'll get but it looks rank in a short time if you get it dirty and its a pig to clean.

You need to enter bare foot or with 'shower only shoes' to keep it looking decent and prevent having to bleach it.

Wouldn't have it again.

 

Working? What's that?

I've appealled it, so let's see what happens. Not to fussed either way, but if the weirdo who won't name themselves wn's, then good help us all! They'll get a god complex.

 

**** off.

 

The nippled stuff is a bugger to clean and I wouldn't recommend it in a home wet room, the normal flat stuff is sufficient. The nippled stuff is more suited to sport centres etc where they have buffing machines to clean it.

 

My wet room is the centre of many sports let me tell you.

Even with the buffing machine it's still shít.

 

You may have a specific reason for asking, such as use by an elderly of infirm person.

I honestly think the only way is to get a demonstration of the various floors' qualities somehow. Too late after its been laid.

All this talk of nippled surfaces and slipping in here and slipping in there ,wet rooms and all is making me get restless
