The importance of slip resistance in bathrooms and wet rooms

Bathrooms and wet rooms are essential spaces in both homes and commercial environments, but they are also among the most hazardous when it comes to slips and falls. Water, soap, and other substances can easily create slippery surfaces, posing a risk to everyone - especially children, the elderly, and those with mobility challenges. Ensuring slip resistance in these areas is not just a matter of convenience; it’s a crucial safety consideration that can prevent accidents and promote confidence in daily routines.

The right flooring plays a vital role in reducing the risk of slips. Traditional tiles or smooth surfaces may look appealing, but they often fail to provide the necessary grip underfoot, particularly when wet. That’s where specialist solutions like Altro Pisces and Altro Aquarius come into their own.
