In a world full of flooring options and technical specifications, it can be hard to keep track. What do all these terms mean? If you are wondering exactly what anti-slip flooring means and where it is used, then you have come to the right place. In this blog we will take a closer look at the anti-slip specification, why it is important, the benefits for pets and how it can improve your flooring experience. Read on to find out what benefits anti-slip can add to your floors!
What does anti-slip mean?
As the name suggests, products with an anti-slip specification have the property that you are less likely to slip on them. This anti-slip specification has been applied to a variety of flooring materials including tiles, laminate and vinyl. The main benefit of anti-slip is, of course, improved safety. Choosing an anti-slip floor can reduce the risk of slipping, especially in areas where there is a greater risk of slipping, such as bathrooms or kitchens.
Are there any differences in anti-slip?
Yes, the anti-slip rating is graded from R-9 to R-13. The higher the number, the more rigid the floor and the less likely it is to slip. Most floors have an anti-slip rating of R-9 or R-10.
Are floors with an R-10 rating slip-resistant enough?
It may seem that floors with an R-10 rating are not that rigid, given that ratings can go as high as R-13. However, this is not the case, as floors with a rating of R-12 or higher are typically used in areas that are not primarily intended for private use, such as swimming pools or snack bar kitchens.
What is the difference between anti-slip and MEGAMAT?
Although MEGAMAT floors also have an R-10 anti-slip rating, they still stand out from other vinyl floors. MEGAMAT floors are much more slip resistant than the average vinyl floor. This makes them not only attractive to look at, but also practical.
Which floor is best for my pet?
As mentioned before, MEGAMAT floors are more slip resistant than other vinyl floors. This makes MEGAMAT Vinyl the best choice for your beloved dog, cat, rabbit or other pet. But why is a non-slip floor like MEGAMAT vinyl better for your pet? It is not good for a pet to move freely on a slippery floor. Playing or running on a slippery floor can damage their joints. And, of course, you don’t want your beloved four-legged friend to be injured by a floor that is used every day. In short, MEGAMAT is MEGA DOG-FRIENDLY!
