Key point
Specify surface texture for the users, slope and expected wet conditions, and confirm the relevant testing method. Cleaning, contamination and wear affect the surface in use.
CarParkCoatings.com · Updated · Technical planning guidance
Identify the use conditions
Consider wet entrances, pedestrians, braking zones and ramp gradients. A vehicle traction requirement and a pedestrian slip assessment should be treated as related but distinct parts of the brief.
Balance texture and maintenance
A more textured finish can be harder to clean. Agree aggregate type, finish and cleaning methods so maintenance can preserve the intended surface condition.
Specify meaningful evidence
Ask which test method and conditions support the proposed finish. Avoid claims that a floor is universally non-slip; contamination, wear and cleaning affect real use.
Specification evidence
Request current technical data for the proposed complete system. Confirm the relevant preparation method, moisture limits, movement capability, layer build-up, surface texture, application conditions and return-to-service requirements before installation.
