Slip resistance classification for architects and specifiers
Selecting an appropriate pedestrian surface requires consideration of appearance, durability, location, expected conditions of use and slip resistance. Daniels provides technical advice and slip resistance testing to architects, designers and specifiers requiring objective information about flooring materials and installed pedestrian surfaces.
Context
When testing is usually needed
Services may include review of slip resistance classifications, testing of installed flooring and advice regarding relevant Australian Standards and guidance.
Our materials engineering background provides additional technical understanding of surface characteristics, wear, treatments and environmental conditions that may influence the long-term performance of flooring.
Daniels can assist with AS 4586, P classifications, wet pendulum testing and other slip resistance considerations relevant to flooring selection and assessment.
