subject: Non Slip Coatings Prevent Accidents [print this page] There are a number of places where water collects and can lead to a dangerous slip and fall accident. Around the home is where the highest number of slip and fall accidents are being reported by medical professionals and hospital emergency rooms. In many cases the reason for an injury has been a slippery surface such as a bathtub or tile floor that when wet created a slick surface that was impossible to stand on. However, just because a porcelain tub is wet does not have to mean that it has to be unsafe. For a growing number of homeowners the addition of a non slip coating to their tiled floors, shower and bath tub are eliminating the slippery conditions that are present after they clean up.
Using a clear non slip coating that provides traction on the hard smooth surfaces, homeowners are able to treat the more dangerous areas of the house with a finish that protects them from a water related mishap. As a permanent fix to the problem of slippery surfaces the coating is designed to last for years without fading or wearing off. Because the coating can be applied to a dry surface to add an invisible layer of traction and grip to any potentially slippery surface it can just as easily be used outside the home as well in the obvious places around the bathroom and kitchen. When applied to a patio or walkway the water resistant coating provides a barrier of protection that can prevent accidents around the paved area of the house or next to a swimming pool.
Wherever rain and water can be found or is splashed onto a smooth finish the non slip coating can be applied to keep the area safe from an unexpected accidental fall. Without having to worry about losing their balance when exiting the bath or shower and stepping onto a damp floor, homeowners are seeing fewer accidents around the home. While many homeowners have yet to discover the benefits of the non slip coating, there are some businesses that have been able to tell the difference in their flooring with the addition of the coatings that have been applied in kitchen preparation areas and restaurants. Anywhere that a tile or linoleum floor has the potential to become a slick and slippery surface the application of a specially designed coating has been proven to provide the traction on wet floors to keep people in an upright position. By taking the time to have a professional install and apply the non slip coating, businesses and homeowners alike are able to walk on wet surfaces without the threat of falling down.
