Safer floors for customers, visitors and staff

Non-Slip Flooring for Retail, Hospitality & Public Access

Anti-Slip Flooring for Busy Public & Customer-Facing Spaces

Retail, hospitality and public-facing buildings need floors that remain practical and safe through constant footfall, changing weather, regular cleaning and everyday spillages.

Exterius provides specialist non-slip flooring treatments for shops, supermarkets, hotels, restaurants, leisure venues and public-access premises throughout the UK.

Rather than automatically replacing an existing floor, we assess the surface and recommend a treatment designed to increase grip while retaining the existing floor wherever possible.

This provides a practical option for businesses that need to improve floor safety without creating unnecessary downtime or compromising the appearance of customer-facing spaces.

Having contacted Exterius for a survey they came out within a few days and had the quote back in 48hrs. I didn't question the quote because i was happy with it and i knew i could be waiting weeks and weeks to get other quotes. A date was arranged to come and do the work and they turned up on time, both guys doing the work were friendly and happy offering advise along the way with the job. The results are fantastic and I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a first class service. They do what they say they're going to do.

Where Can Commercial Non-Slip Flooring Be Used?

Public-facing properties often contain several areas where the likelihood of moisture, contamination or heavy footfall is increased.

Typical areas we can assess and treat include:

  • Shop and supermarket entrances
  • Hotel reception areas and foyers
  • Restaurant and café front-of-house areas
  • Public buildings and visitor facilities
  • Washrooms
  • Stairways and ramps
  • Main pedestrian access routes

For professional food-preparation spaces, we can also provide specialist commercial kitchen anti-slip flooring designed around the additional challenges created by oils, grease and food contamination.

Improve Grip Without Replacing Your Existing Floor

Replacing flooring across a busy shop, hotel or public building can be expensive, disruptive and difficult to schedule.

Where the existing surface is suitable, a specialist anti-slip treatment can offer a much simpler alternative.

Clear and low-profile systems can improve surface grip without covering attractive tiles, stone or other finishes that form part of the interior design.

Treatments can be suitable for surfaces including:

  • Ceramic and porcelain tiles
  • Natural stone
  • Smooth vinyl flooring
  • Concrete
  • Resin flooring
  • Timber
  • Other suitable commercial surfaces

5-year warranty

Annual deep clean

Protect the Existing Appearance

Surface-Specific Recommendations

We recommend treatment according to the existing floor rather than applying the same specification everywhere.

Ongoing Floor-Care Guidance

Practical advice helps cleaning and facilities teams look after treated flooring correctly.

Managing Slip Risk in High-Footfall Areas

Commercial floors are exposed to constantly changing conditions.

Rainwater can be carried through an entrance. A drink can be spilled in a café. Cleaning can temporarily leave a surface wet. Heavy daily footfall can also gradually affect the condition of an existing finish.

For this reason, the way a floor performs in normal operating conditions is more important than appearance alone.

Slip-resistance testing helps provide a more objective understanding of the surface and allows the most appropriate treatment to be recommended.

Where required, Exterius can carry out testing before and after treatment to demonstrate the difference achieved.

Floor Safety That Fits Around Trading Hours

For many retail and hospitality businesses, closing an area for an extended period is simply not practical.

Our approach is designed around working commercial environments.

Projects can be arranged during quieter periods, evenings, planned closures or other agreed access windows depending on the requirements of the premises.

Fast-drying treatment options can also reduce the amount of time a floor needs to remain out of use.

For customer-facing properties, clear finishes provide an additional advantage by helping improve grip without unnecessarily changing the appearance of reception areas, entrances, tiled floors or other prominent surfaces.

Supporting Multi-Site Retail & Hospitality Estates

Managing floor safety across several sites can be difficult when different buildings have different flooring materials, usage patterns and maintenance requirements.

Exterius provides nationwide support for individual premises and multi-site estates.

We can assess priority areas, provide slip-resistance testing and coordinate treatment programmes across several locations.

This makes it possible to deal with immediate problem floors first before introducing a wider programme across the rest of an estate.
