Anti-Slip Textured Surfaces
Textured flooring systems that bring slip risk under control in wet, oily and sloped areas, building safety into the surface itself.
Occupational safety starts at the floor.
In industrial facilities, slips and falls are among the most common types of workplace accident, and the cause is very often the floor itself. Wet process areas, sections in contact with oil and grease, ramps and loading areas are the places where a smooth surface becomes a risk. Anti-slip textured systems entrust that risk not to a warning sign but to the surface itself.
Texture adds slip resistance but can make cleaning harder; the right system strikes the balance between these two expectations according to the area’s real use. That is why we select the texture grade not from a catalog but from the field: we evaluate together what gets spilled in the area, what footwear and vehicle traffic pass over it and how it is cleaned, and set the texture accordingly.
- Adjustable texture: The degree of slip resistance is set in grades according to the area’s use.
- Wet and oily area behavior: The texture provides safety under real risk conditions, not just on a dry floor.
- Cleanability balance: The balance between texture and hygiene expectations is established together with the area.
- Zoned application: Can be applied only in risk zones, with transitions compatible with the existing system.
Where the risk gets wet, oily and sloped.
Anti-slip texture gives the best result not across the entire facility but in the zones where the risk actually exists.
Wet process areas
Sections with constant washing, rinsing and liquid transfer.
Oil and grease contact sections
Areas where machine oils and grease meet the floor.
Ramps and sloped transitions
Points where vehicle and pedestrian traffic meet an incline.
Loading and dispatch areas
High-traffic zones open to outdoor weather.
Kitchens and washdown rooms
Industrial kitchens and dishwashing areas.
Stairs and platforms
Walking surfaces where the consequences of a fall are more severe.

The texture is not added afterwards; it is built into the system.
Slip resistance comes from the aggregate broadcast into the top layer becoming one with the system. The texture grade is set by the size of the aggregate and how it is encapsulated.
- Finish coatLocking the aggregate into the system, the cleanable top layer.
- Textured layer and aggregateProviding the slip resistance, its size selected for the area: the texture layer.
- PrimerThe bonding layer providing adhesion to the concrete.
- Concrete slabThe existing substrate the system is built on, assessed beforehand.
The same safety, different textures.
The texture grade and system build-up are adapted to the area’s use and cleaning regime.
Fine texture
For light wetness: a balanced, easy-to-clean surface.
Medium texture
The standard behavior for most wet and oily areas.
Heavy texture
The highest grip for constant oil, grease and outdoor conditions.
Zoned strip application
Strips on ramps and transitions, compatible with the existing floor.
What is expected of an anti-slip floor.
Safe grip when wet
The texture works under real risk conditions.
Mechanical strength
System integrity under traffic and impact.
Chemical resistance
Endurance against oil, grease and cleaning chemicals.
Graded texture selection
The degree of slip resistance is tuned to the area.
Operations-friendly application
Can be applied in zones and in phases.
Cleanable surface
The balance struck between texture and hygiene.
As the risk grows, the texture grows more pronounced.
The classification below is indicative only. The final texture grade is determined by assessing on site the type of liquid in the area, the slope, footwear and vehicle traffic, and the cleaning regime.
