FAQS about safety flooring

What is safety flooring?

Safety flooring is a type of non-slip, durable flooring designed to reduce the risk of slips and falls. It’s commonly used in kitchens, bathrooms, wet rooms, and commercial spaces.

What is safety flooring made of?

The commonly used safety flooring in a home is made from vinyl mixed with silicone carbide, quartz, and aluminium oxides.

However, there are several different options available, including heavy-duty aluminium. Though this is more commonly used in garages, commercial hallways, and lift lobbies.

Where is safety flooring most commonly used?

You’ll often find safety flooring in bathrooms, wet rooms, schools, hospitals, and care homes, or anywhere that needs extra slip resistance and easy cleaning.

How thick is safety flooring?

Safety flooring is available in a range of different thicknesses. But most safety flooring falls somewhere between 2mm and 4mm thick, depending on the material and brand.

How long does safety flooring last?

Safety flooring is designed to be durable. So, it should last for many years. Most safety flooring can easily last for ten years or longer.

That said, the longevity of your flooring can vary depending on lots of different factors. These include what it’s made of, how much traffic it gets, and how well it’s maintained.

Can safety flooring be installed in a home?

Yes, it’s ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, and utility rooms, especially if you want a practical, easy-to-clean, and slip-resistant surface for children or older adults.

Can I install safety flooring myself?

It’s possible to fit safety flooring yourself, but we wouldn't recommend it unless you're a DIY pro.

Safety flooring needs precise cutting, sealing, and bonding to stay watertight and slip-resistant. This is especially the case for heavy-duty aluminium safety flooring.

For a smooth, long-lasting finish, it’s best to hire safety flooring specialists who know what they're doing.
