Limestone Flooring - Shopping Centre - Taunton

Surefoot Systems applied an Anti Slip treatment for limestone flooring in this shopping centre, as the flooring was causing concern with regards to slip resistance. Two of the 3 entrances were also sloping which increased the risk of slip accidents in wet weather conditions.

The Limestone surface was first deep cleaned using a speciality degreasing agent applied by rotary scrubber. An invisible anti slip treatment for limestone was then applied directly on to the surface. The work was carried out with minimal disruption one evening and the centre was able to open again the following morning.

A pendulum slip assessment test confirmed that the wet slip resistance of the Limestone had been increased to well above minimal requirements.
