Wondering why that texture kit landed on your desk?

It shows options for enhancing the safety, performance, and aesthetics of facility floors, and we think it’s worth your time.

A treat for you and treatment for your floors

Take a minute (while enjoying the candy) to consider the importance of facility flooring to your business:

• Workplace safety, because slips, trips, and falls are time-consuming hassles at best and the cause of dangerous, costly incidents at worst.
• Durability and performance, because industrial / commercial floors take nonstop abuse and flooring maintenance is highly disruptive to operations.
• Enhanced aesthetics, because floors in poor visual condition send the wrong message to inspectors, VIPs, and employees.

About the texture kit

Reducing three of the ten most common causes of workplace injuries

Slips, trips and falls are a safety hazard and a common cause of workplace injuries, to the tune of over $19 billion per year:

1. Falls on the same level ($10.58 billion)
2. Falls to lower level ($6.26 billion)
3. Slip or trip without fall ($2.52 billion)

How textured floor coatings reduce falling hazards

Textured floor coatings minimize slipping and tripping hazards by increasing the dynamic coefficient of friction or DCOF, which is the measurement of a surface’s slip resistance during motion. It's a proven way to minimize slipping and tripping incidents.

In a two-year study of hard surface floors in commercial workplaces, insurance leader CNA found that half of the surveyed sites failed to meet the minimum DCOF threshold set by ANSI—the American National Standards Institute.

How textured floor coatings enhance performance and appearance

• These textured coatings are waterproof and capable of withstanding significant amounts of abuse like heavy weight, high foot and forklift traffic, abrasion, and more.
• Textured floor coatings enhance appearance by disguising minor flaws and imperfections in the flooring substrate, and they can even be customized for color, sheen, and pattern.
