Your The "Fit & Forget" Mentality

“Slip resistance is a fixed value, if I lay a 43PTV tile, or improve an existing floor to 43PTV, it will still be 43PTV in a year...”

This was the line of thought held by a Client I visited this week, and it is by no means uncommon.  If slip resistance really were a constant I would be out of a job.  Luckily for me, and sadly for those responsible, flooring products will inevitably change over time.  If you consider a car tyre as an analogy, it may be rated for very good grip from the factory, however it will perform differently depending on whether it is installed properly, whether it is wet or dry, whether it is clean or dirty, the type of road (shoe sole) surface and how worn the profile is.  It is only necessary for the tyre/floor to provide less than adequate grip in one condition/situation and an accident or near miss will occur.
