Slip Resistance Excellence

The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 (Regulation 12) states that:

“Every floor in a workplace and the surface of every traffic route in a workplace shall be of a construction such that the floor or surface of the traffic route is suitable for the purpose for which it is used.”

The British BS7976-2 Test

One of the the most accurate measures of slip resistance, though not always recognized by brands like Shaw, Mohawk, or Karndean that use other methods. VacuuBond LVT’s peel and press® luxury vinyl flooring tested in the High Slip Potential category with a score of 54 PTA (wet)/ 65 PTA (dry) We also scored for high traction and very low slippage risk. Proving that our one of a kind peel and press® surpasses our competitors. Making us the perfect choice for assisted living, healthcare, education, restaurants, hospitality and all public spaces where slip-and-fall concerns are critical.
