Title: Any Solutions ?
Post by: AlexanderPT on May 16, 2012, 01:48:18 pm
Not so much of a cleaning issue, more safety.
We have, in one of our buildings, an entrance/atrium of around 30,000 sqft, terrazo flooring,

Problem is, when it rains, people carry in wet umbrellas and whilst the barrier matting takes most moisture off the shoes, we still get dripping umbrellas.

Has anyone come across this situation ? I don't know of one, but maybe there is a supplier of 'bags', similar to those provided by florists, but without the drain holes ! or any other solutions ?

Why not treat the Terrazzo with an anti slip coating? I know of one which activates when it is wet. Then, the Umbrella Brigade can drip wherever they want with anyone slipping.

I would like to know more about this Anti Slip Coating please moreover and especially in my role of conducting slip tests for clients!  Do you have any more details on it?
