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.
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:
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.
Every application includes:
5-year warranty
Annual deep clean
Guidance on floor care and maintenance to ensure longevity and compliance
Our systems deliver Pendulum Test Values (PTV) of 55+, significantly higher than the legal benchmark. We use UK-accredited methods for pre- and post-installation slip resistance testing to verify results.
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
Clear anti-slip treatments can improve grip while allowing existing tiles, stone and decorative commercial flooring to remain visible.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Can you make an existing shop or hotel floor less slippery?
In many cases, yes. Suitable existing flooring can often be treated rather than completely replaced.
Will treatment change the appearance of our flooring?
Many of the systems we use are clear and designed to retain the appearance of the existing floor.
Can tiled entrance floors be treated?
Suitable ceramic, porcelain and natural-stone tiles can often be treated following assessment.
Can work be carried out outside normal opening hours?
Yes. Projects can be planned around agreed access periods, quieter trading times and operational requirements.
How quickly can treated flooring be used?
Suitable systems can be ready for use in around one hour, although this depends on the treatment and site conditions.
Do you work with national retail or hospitality groups?
Yes. Exterius provides nationwide coverage and can coordinate surveys and anti-slip treatment 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.
Whether you manage a single customer-facing property or a nationwide portfolio, Exterius can assess slippery flooring and recommend a practical anti-slip solution.
