FAQ
-
Why should I consider having my floors / other slippery surfaces treated?The NEW ANSI B101.1 Standard requires that all walking surfaces in your Hotel/BUSINESS meet or exceed a minimum Coefficient of Friction (TRACTION) of 0.60. More importantly; if the answer is YES to any of these questions...The you should consider treatment. ARE YOU CONCERNED ABOUT INCREASING INSURANCE PREMIUMS? ARE YOUR WORKERS’ COMP CLAIMS INCREASING? HAVE YOU BEEN SUED BECAUSE OF AN ACCIDENT? HAVE YOU BEEN FINED BY OSHA FOR NON-COMPLIANCE?
-
Does the treatment change the way the floor or bathtub look or feel?There is no discernible change in the look or dry feel of your floor when professionally applied. When wet, the surface actually becomes LESS slippery. For fiberglass tubs, some people choose to have us a apply a light topical solution to improve traction, but you can only notice the application, up close.
-
Does, this treatment protect me in a lawsuit"In most cases, awards are based on negligence. Did the business know there was a risk, and did they take action. There is case history, where hotels have hired a professional to treat their floors, and they were not sued, when a fall occurred. Our service reduces the likelihood someone can defend a negligence claim.

How much does it cost?Costs vary depending on the details, but floors generally run between $1.95 to $4.00 per square foot, depending on the surface and square footage. Industrial coatings can be more, depending on the surface and square footage involved. Tubs and showers are quoted on a per tub/shower basis, depending on volume. We typically charge $150-$200 per tub, but the “per tub price” is discounted, if we are handling multiple tubs.
