Definition
It's measured dry and wet. The finish, anything left on the surface, and the cleaners used all change it. Slip testing helps with safety decisions in lobbies, washrooms, and pool areas.
Why it matters
Slips on commercial floors are a safety and legal risk. We can take slip readings for commercial clients who want the grip documented.
