Start with the use conditions
Wet shoes at an entry and regular industrial spills create different considerations. Describe normal activities and any project-specific performance requirements. If documentation is needed, supply that requirement before asking the contractor to select a coating.
Review the finished texture
Ask to see and feel a representative sample of the proposed system. Texture depends on the aggregate and how the finish layers are applied around it. Decorative flakes should not be assumed to provide a particular tested traction performance simply because they are visible.
Discuss cleaning at the same time
A more textured surface can change the cleaning method and effort required. Share your current cleaning equipment and ask for the recommended maintenance routine. Agree details at edges, steps and transitions so the surface is considered as part of the whole space.
Questions about textured floor coatings.
Can a coating be called completely non-slip?
No surface should be assumed slip-proof under every condition. The system, contamination, footwear and maintenance all matter. Ask for relevant evidence where a particular performance is required.
Can texture be added to the current coating?
The contractor needs to assess condition and compatibility first. Include the known coating, age and the problem you want to solve in the enquiry.
