Vinyl plank flooring is one of the best options for slip-resistant flooring. Along with its general durability and moisture resistance, vinyl floors have a rubber-like quality that makes most of them naturally slip-resistant.
Many different types of flooring materials are slip resistant, including vinyl, ceramic or porcelain tile, and bamboo flooring. Vinyl flooring is a great option due to its rubber-like surface. Porcelain and ceramic tiles often come in textured styles that have excellent slip resistance. Bamboo flooring absorbs moisture very well, which makes it a great non-slip choice.
Any surface can be made slip resistant with the right materials. Many of the brands we carry at Online Flooring Store feature finishing coats that include anti-slip properties. By coating flooring material with these special layers, brands increase slip resistance.
Slip-resistant flooring does not mean that it will be a more expensive flooring product. Many flooring brands add slip resistance to their flooring to ensure safety and increase its overall performance.
Slip-resistant ratings indicate the safety of any given flooring based on several factors. Ratings are determined after controlled testing and can help you choose a flooring brand that meets regulations. There are different slip ratings based on different tests, including the wet barefoot ramp test and the dry floor friction test. To learn more, you can check our slip-resistance ratings guide.
Check your specific flooring brand before installation to learn more about its anti-slip coating. Different types of flooring are finished with different coatings, which may last anywhere from 5 to 25 years. Some floors have surface warranties with different guidelines.
Compared to regular flooring, slip-resistant flooring is not any more difficult to install. Whether you are installing carpet tiles, vinyl flooring, or engineered timber, the process is often the same for slip-resistant or non slip resistant brands.
At Online Flooring Store, we do not offer installation services directly. You can find a variety of great and informative installation guides for different types of flooring. We encourage our customers to consider installing their floors themselves. However, if you are not sure about installing your floors, we can connect you with over 200 professional layers across Australia.
Slip-resistant flooring needs to be cleaned just the same as regular flooring. Make sure to use methods and cleaning solutions as recommended to avoid harming any non-slip coatings. Sweeping regularly and mopping with a gentle mop will go a long way to increasing your slip-resistant flooring’s lifespan.
