Safety Grooving Anti-Slip Floor Scoring
[one-half-first]
Safety Grooving is a revolutionary floor traction control solution, developed specifically to minimize hydroplaning. The installation process uses special diamond tools to score shallow grooves into an existing floor surface.
These concentric circular rings work like the treads on a tire to channel water away, reducing the hydroplaning effect. This allows the shoe or bare foot to remain in full contact with the floor surface, improving traction and ultimately reducing the risk of slips and falls.
Our diamond floor scoring process is the most effective, least costly way to improve traction on wet floor surfaces. This process offers many advantages over other traction enhancement methods. Unlike safety mats, rugs, paint, acid or other chemical treatments, our floor scoring process retains its effectiveness indefinitely, without special maintenance or periodic reapplication.
Temporary anti-slip solutions such as mats and rugs wear out and are costly to replace. Acid treatments can weaken the floor material, often reducing its useful life. Paint, as well as acid and other chemical treatments must be periodically reapplied. These types of treatments begin to wear away as soon as they are applied. Meanwhile, their effectiveness is diminished with each day's traffic.

Safety Grooving has been installed in thousands of locations throughout the United States and Canada with exceptional results. This process has been credited with reducing slip/fall accidents by 70% or more. This unique floor scoring process has been called "the most effective, least costly way to improve traction and reduce the risk of slips and falls."
Safety Grooving has many useful applications. It is extremely effective when used in the aquatics environment on concrete decks around swimming pools, in locker or shower areas and on ramps or walkways. Once installed, the traction enhancement remains for the life of the concrete pool deck.
Outdoors, especially in wet climates, the entry "drip zone" of many buildings can be a dangerously slippery place. In this environment, Safety Grooving provides a dramatic improvement in slip resistance when installed on tile, concrete or terrazzo.
For wet interior areas, such as restaurant kitchens or shopping malls, our circular grooves can provide superior traction enhancement for a fraction of the cost of replacing a slippery floor.
Effectiveness, however, is only part of the story. Safety Grooving is also attractive, inexpensive and permanent.
