SCOF- Static: Measures the amount of force required to initiate movement or cause slipping when a person is standing still on a surface. It is important to note that standards for measuring SCOF have all been withdrawn. DCOF- Dynamic: The dynamic (or kinetic) coefficient of friction (DCOF) is the measure of the resistance to
PTV stands for the Pendulum Test Value, a measurement of how slippery a surface is, measured with a tribometer called the British Pendulum, which stimulates a foot swinging across a surface.Check out the graphic below to understand where your PTV should be at in order to be considered in the 'Low Slip Potential' category.
Any pool deck or outdoor area under 1,000sqft is a flat rate of $1,850. Areas over 1,000sqft is $2.25 per sqft. This price is on 'never been sealed before' surfaces. Click here for more information!
This is true. There are plenty of other companies that will seal your travertine and/or paver surfaces. Some even offer slip resistance as well. However, what they do to achieve "slip resistance" is they add a rounded plastic aggregate to the surface, like "Shark Grip". Majority of the pool decks we are called out to,
No! That's the beauty with our system! We can offer a highly-glossy finish WITH the safety of ANSI A326.3 compliant floors!
All exterior surfaces are expected to meet the DCOF threshold of 0.55 under wet conditions.
We will not accept or do any job without the anti-slip. We are selling safety!
It is recommended to seal your travertine to protect from mold, dirt, mildew and to give it longer life.
It is estimated that 85% of worker’s compensation claims are attributed to employees slipping on slick floors (Industrial Safety & Occupational Health Markets 5th edition). Slip-and-fall accidents are the leading cause of visits to the ER and are the leading cause of all accidental deaths in homes each year. We can help prevent these slips
We have a solution for every floor surface there is! To date, we have not come across a surface we have not been able to dramatically increase the Coefficient of Friction!
