Healthcare environments need floors that provide dependable grip while remaining practical to clean, maintain and use every day.
Exterius provides specialist healthcare anti-slip flooring treatments for hospitals, clinics, GP surgeries, care homes, hospices and other healthcare facilities across the UK.
Entrances, corridors, washrooms, treatment areas and communal spaces can all become more difficult underfoot when exposed to water, cleaning residue, spillages or constant pedestrian and trolley traffic.
Our approach is straightforward: assess the existing floor, understand how the area is used and recommend an anti-slip solution that improves surface grip without creating unnecessary disruption to the facility.
Different parts of a healthcare building experience different levels of footfall, moisture and contamination.
Exterius can provide anti-slip treatments across a wide range of healthcare and clinical environments, including:
Every application includes:
5-year warranty
Annual deep clean
Guidance on floor care and maintenance to ensure longevity and compliance
Our systems can deliver Pendulum Test Values (PTV) of 55+. We use UK-accredited methods for pre- and post-installation slip resistance testing to help verify the improvement achieved.
Floors typically dry within 1 hour
Suitable for application during off-hours or weekends
No smells, fumes or shut-downs required
Discreet prep/testing in low-traffic zones before every job
Nationwide surveys and treatment programmes for organisations managing several healthcare properties.
We recommend treatment according to the existing floor rather than applying the same specification everywhere.
Practical advice helps cleaning and facilities teams look after treated flooring correctly.
A floor cannot always be judged by how it looks. A smooth or polished surface may perform adequately in one condition but become significantly more slippery when wet or contaminated.
Exterius can assess existing floor conditions and use slip-resistance testing to understand how the surface is performing before treatment. The Pendulum Test Value, or PTV, is widely used in the UK to assess floor slip potential, with HSE classifying a PTV of 36 or above as having low slip potential.
Exterius anti-slip systems can deliver PTV results of 55+, providing additional grip for demanding commercial environments. Where appropriate, pre- and post-treatment testing can also give facilities managers, estates teams and health and safety professionals clear evidence of the improvement achieved, making the process measurable rather than simply applying a coating and assuming the problem has been solved.
Working in a healthcare environment requires more than choosing the right coating.
Access, operating hours, patient movement, clinical activity and cleaning schedules all need to be considered before work begins.
Exterius can plan anti-slip flooring works around quieter periods, restricted-access windows or individual departments to help minimise disruption.
For larger healthcare estates, hospitals and care groups, work can also be phased across multiple areas or sites rather than requiring a large-scale shutdown.
Clear anti-slip systems can also improve grip without dramatically altering the appearance of the existing floor, which can be particularly important in reception areas, corridors and other visible spaces.
Anti-slip treatment should form part of a wider floor-management strategy rather than being viewed as a one-off fix.
Correct cleaning remains important because dirt, residue and contamination can affect the performance of any floor.
Our annual deep-clean support and floor-care guidance help facilities teams maintain treated surfaces correctly while the five-year manufacturer-backed warranty provides additional long-term reassurance.
Can anti-slip treatment be applied to healthcare vinyl flooring?
Potentially, yes. Exterius can treat a range of commercial surfaces including suitable smooth vinyl flooring. We assess the individual floor before recommending a coating or treatment.
Will an anti-slip treatment change how the floor looks?
Many of our systems are clear and low-profile, allowing the original appearance of the floor to remain visible while improving surface grip.
How quickly can the floor be used again?
Suitable coatings can be ready for use in around one hour. Exact timings depend on the treatment, preparation requirements and site conditions.
Can you test the floor before treatment?
Yes. Slip-resistance testing can be used to assess the existing surface and help determine the most appropriate treatment.
Does it leave a visible coating?
No. Our anti-slip coatings are clear and odourless, protecting your space without impacting the look.
Can you work across several healthcare locations?
Yes. Exterius provides nationwide coverage and can coordinate surveys, testing and phased treatment programmes across multiple sites.
How long does it last?
We offer a 5-year warranty, and an annual deep clean is included to keep your floors in peak condition.
Does anti-slip treatment replace normal cleaning?
No. Correct floor cleaning remains essential. Anti-slip treatment works alongside appropriate cleaning and maintenance rather than replacing it.
Exterius works in partnership with GripFactory UK to deliver specialist anti-slip treatments and coatings for commercial and industrial environments across the UK.
If slippery floors are creating concerns within your hospital, clinic, care facility or healthcare estate, Exterius can assess the surface and recommend an appropriate anti-slip solution.
