Flooring System Offers Safety Measure

Lexington Dispatch:

Jeff Raynor had been a general contractor for about 12 years when the recession hit and took most of his business with it, so he began looking at franchise opportunities that allowed him to use his building background in another entrepreneurial business.

While researching opportunities, he came across Interlake Chemicals’ Sure Step floor and tub treatment, which specializes in preventing slip and fall injuries on hard mineral surfaces, including ceramic tile, quarry tile, concrete, marble and terrazzo as well as porcelain, enamel and cast iron bathtubs. The chemical treatment creates an invisible tread design on the surface of the material, which creates traction, or grip, and increases the coefficient of friction.

Tiled restaurant and bar floors, concrete areas, swimming pool decks, bathrooms, locker rooms, showers and entryways in commercial buildings are all places where water and spills could create safety problems, Raynor noted, as well as in hospitals and correctional facilities.

The Tyro resident is now the sole distributor of Sure Step in North Carolina through Slippery When Wet Solutions Inc. with his wife, Sandra. Read full post.
