Did you know that falls are responsible for almost a quarter of all work accidents in the restaurant industry (22.7%)? Between the slippery surfaces, workers hustling around, grease splatters and food spills, restaurants are full of all sorts of hazards, and refrigerated spaces are no exception. In walk‑in coolers and freezers, condensation can cause a thin layer of ice to build up on the floor, adding to the potential risk.
That’s why we created NextGrip slip‑resistant flooring: to protect your workers and keep your facilities safe.
An innovative pattern for better adhesion
NextGrip flooring features a unique pattern consisting of four rows and three columns of equally spaced embossed dots. The textured surface provides additional points of contact to provide grip for shoe soles and mobile equipment (such as carts) while being smooth and stable enough for workers to move around easily. The result: flooring that adheres more securely to prevent slips, falls and sudden movements that can result in damage to equipment—or worse, injuries to workers.
Testing in real‑world conditions, based on ASTM F2913, found NextGrip to be more effective than typical floor coverings:
- More slip‑resistant
- Enhanced traction
- Optimal load stability
- Allows wheeled equipment to roll freely
- Durable, wear‑resistant and impact‑resistant surface
- Easy to maintain
- Longer lifespan
- Best value in the business
NextGrip is available in a variety of materials, from stainless steel and galvanized steel to smooth aluminum. Get in touch today to find out how you can start walking with confidence in your workplace!
