Slip resistant flooring once meant unattractive, ribbed metal or special ceramic flooring which was cold and hard underfoot, but today selecting slip-resistant flooring is easier as it’s designed with safety in mind and looks good too.
Comcork Flooring from Safety Floorings offers flooring options designed to keep senior citizens safe while moving around their home or residential care facility.
Designed to handle the toughest conditions and the most stringent health and safety requirements of health and aged care facilities, the benefits of Comcork Flooring include softness underfoot, non-slip technology, noise reduction and durability.
Walk Easy or Low Profile are proven, safe flooring options for internal use in facilities which cannot afford the risk of an elderly resident slipping and will also stand up to heavy duty wheelchair or walker usage.
Walk Easy is also suited for high traffic areas where spills, leaks, incontinence and odours may be problematic and where a traditional carpet will quickly become worn and stained.
“While Walk Easy or Low Profile are solutions for internal areas such as corridors, canteens and
foyers, Safety Flooring also offers AquaDeck for outdoor areas,” says Loretta Pearson, director of Safety Floorings.
AquaDeck is suited to external ramps, walkways, stairs and the surrounds of hydrotherapy pools or other outside areas that may become slippery when wet.
