Anti-slip Construction - Our Recommendations
Anti-Slip Construction - Our Recommendations
The choice of flooring material and the appropriate anti-slip coating depends significantly on the type of construction project, the function of the room, and the expected loads. A clear distinction is made here between materials used in the rough construction process and those installed in finished buildings.
Structural Engineering: Materials in finished buildings
In completed buildings such as offices, homes, clinics, or hotels, flooring materials are used that must be both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The risk of slipping often arises here due to water, humidity, or polished surfaces.
Material:
Tiles (ceramic, porcelain stoneware)
Where is it used?
Kitchens, bathrooms, entrance halls, spas, swimming pools
Which anti-slip coating do we recommend?
Transparent anti-slip coating. It increases slip resistance without altering the visual appearance. Our suggestion: Protec Invisible >>
Material:
Natural stone (granite, marble)
Where is it used?
Entrance halls, representative staircases, bathrooms, terraces
Which anti-slip coating do we recommend?
Transparent anti-slip coating. Preserves the natural aesthetics, protects the polished surface, and makes it safer when wet. Our suggestion: Protec Invisible >>
Material:
Concrete (polished or sealed)
Where is it used?
Modern lofts, showrooms, basement rooms
Which anti-slip coating do we recommend?
Transparent or colored 2K coating. For a durable, dust-free, and visually appealing surface that is easy to clean. Our suggestions: Protec Invisible >> , Protec R13 TWO >>
Material:
Acrylic / Mineral casting
Where is it used?
Bathtubs, shower trays, kitchen countertops
Which anti-slip coating do we recommend?
Transparent anti-slip coating. Ensures secure footing in the tub or shower without damaging the smooth surface. Our suggestion: Protec Invisible >>
Material:
Wood
Where is it used?
Terraces, balconies, interior spaces
Which anti-slip coating do we recommend?
Transparent anti-slip coating. Our suggestion: Protec Invisible >>
Structural and civil engineering: Materials in industrial and rough areas
In areas exposed to extreme mechanical and chemical stress, durability and resistance are the priorities.
Material:
Concrete
Where is it used?
Industrial floors, warehouses, parking garages, loading ramps
Which anti-slip coating do we recommend?
2-component epoxy resin coating. Offers extreme abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, and high slip resistance (e.g., R13). Our recommendation: Protec R13 TWO >>
Material:
Steel & Metal
Where is it used?
Tail lifts, crane superstructures, scaffolding decking, industrial stairs
Which anti-slip coating do we recommend?
2-component epoxy resin or polyurethane coating. These materials offer the best corrosion protection and the necessary adhesion on smooth metal surfaces. Our recommendations: Protec R13 TWO >>. Protec EPX>>
Material:
Screed
Where is it used?
Substrate for floor coverings, rough construction sections
Which anti-slip coating do we recommend?
2-component PU or epoxy resin coating. Seals the screed, protects it from moisture, and makes it driveable and slip-resistant. Our recommendations: Protec R13 TWO >>. Protec EPX>>
Material:
Paving stones
Where is it used?
Driveways, outdoor paths
Which anti-slip coating do we recommend?
