Owners and developers of public premises are acutely aware of the high costs of liability claims. A failure to ensure public safety can lead to large pay outs to claimants and very bad publicity.
Claims related to slip-and-fall incidents in public buildings are very common, and keeping such accidents to an absolute
minimum is a priority. Tile manufacturers worldwide are focusing increasingly on safety features, especially for floor tiles intended for public spaces.
Developers and owners of properties must ensure compliance with safety standards and avoid costly liability claims. Polished porcelain tiles, while exuding a bright, reflective and attractive appearance, have considerable disadvantages over anti-slip tiles which have textured surfaces that greatly reduce the likelihood of accidents, and therefore litigation. They also tend to survive heavy, long-term foot traffic much better than polished tiles, which can easily become scratched, marked or dulled by heavy use. Anti-slip tiles look good for much longer, as their intentional surface irregularities tend to hide most low-level damage.
With today’s manufacturing technology, these safety standards can be met without any compromise on aesthetics. Custom ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles can be safe, durable and beautiful. Anti-slip need not equate to anti-aesthetic.
