When a dry floor friction test adds something the wet pendulum test does not, and when it does not.

Every technical statement in our articles comes from testing we have carried out on site, measured under AS 4663:2013 and AS/NZS 4586:2013, and reviewed before publication.

A result only means something alongside the method, the slider and the conditions on the day.

If you need this applied to a specific floor, commission a test. General information is not a substitute for measurement on your site.
