Ensuring the flooring remains free from bacteria, hygienically clean and has slip resistant properties is imperative.When specifying flooring for wet areas such as showers and toilets there is a HSE requirement for a slip resistance pendulum result of a minimum of 36, measured with a 4S rubber pad and Sika flooring systems exceed this requirement.Sika offers a comprehensive range of slip resistant flooring to choose from which also comes with a professional adviser to assist at every stage.

Therefore an appealing and attractive floor is important, as well as being stain resistant to ensure spills can easily be removed along with being slip resistant.At Sika, with years of flooring experience, we understand the need to specify flooring in accordance with the HSE requirements, whilst also creating welcoming and aesthetically pleasing environments.

Slip resistant is equally as important with accidental spillages that can occur in such environments. Sika's flooring solutions exceed the HSE requirements for slip resistance. With years of flooring experience, Sika is able to guide and recommend what will give the best performance.
