Slip Ratings Explained: Choosing Safe Commercial Flooring

Slip resistance isn't optional in commercial spaces. Understand ratings and where they apply.

13 July 2026 · 4 min read

In commercial and public spaces, slip resistance is a safety and liability issue. Choosing the right slip rating protects staff, customers, and your business.

What slip ratings measure

Slip ratings indicate how much grip a floor provides, particularly when wet. Different areas call for different levels — an entry that gets rain needs more grip than a dry back office.

Where higher grip matters

  • Entrances and lobbies exposed to weather
  • Kitchens, washrooms, and wet areas
  • Ramps and transition zones

Matching product to area

Commercial vinyl comes in a range of slip-rated finishes. We specify the right rating for each zone so your fitout is both safe and compliant.
