INFO

What it is

Slip resistance is the ability of a coated surface to resist slipping underfoot. It is a key safety property for floors, ramps, steps, and walkways.

Why it matters

Slippery floors are a serious safety hazard and a liability in commercial and public spaces. A slip-resistant finish helps keep people safe and supports compliance with safety expectations.

Where it is used on a project

Important on floor coatings, ramps, steps, and walkways in commercial, industrial, and public settings where foot traffic and safety matter.

How NECC approaches it

Where safety underfoot is a priority, we can specify anti-slip additives or textured coating systems to improve grip while keeping a clean, durable finish.
