The gloss floor in our despatch bay looks smart but it is getting dangerously slippery where the forklifts run, especially first thing when it is damp. I don't want to over-do the grit and make it impossible to clean.
Slip resistance is really a match between the finish and what actually happens on that floor, so start with the traffic, the spills and whether it is wet or dry underfoot. A smooth gloss looks great and cleans easily, but it turns slick fast under wheeled traffic, oils or water, which is likely what you are seeing. Broadcasting an aggregate into the surface, from a light shark-grip texture up to a heavy quartz profile, builds in grip that lasts, though the coarser you go the harder it is to keep clean. Matching the texture to the work is the balance, enough grip for safety without making wash-downs a battle. For a considered pick you can look at Floortop resin flooring options or read up on slip resistance of resin floors, then get in touch to have it specified to your traffic.
