A Church Testament to Slip Prevention

Slip No More’s Non Slip Coatings and Slip Prevention Treatments Add Praise to the Brackenhurst Baptist Church

The Brackenhurst Baptist Church situated in the south of Johannesburg recently called upon Slip No More to help make their home of worship a safer place for all their visitors. We decided to pay the church a visit in the quiet suburb of Brackenhurst and see what work needed to be done.

Being industry leaders in non slip coatings, floor safety, and slip prevention Slip No More was more than happy to take on the task of providing non slip coatings and anti slip solutions to the church. You can be sure that the Brackenhurst Baptist Church is Slip-No-More-covered! #SlipNoMore

Leaders from the Brackenhurst Baptist Church explained to Slip No More that they were concerned for the safety of some of their visitors – and they wanted an affordable solution to prevent any slips or falls on their premises.

Their primary concern was due to the fact that areas like the wheelchair ramp, main entrance stairs, and landing areas could pose safety risks because the tiled floors are often slippery – especially when wet.

They were experiencing issues where elderly people who battle to walk as it is, had to now contend with a slippery floor – making it even more difficult.

Here Were Our Slip Prevention Recommendations

• For tiled surfaces s in the reception and landing areas we used our speciality Slip No More Anti-slip Coatings (either for ceramics or porcelain tiles). This non slip coating will ensure that church goes won’t slip or fall on their way into the church – or on their way out. These unique non slip coatings improve the tread and traction of the surface area increasing its ability to grip when contact is made.

Application of the non slip coating is simple and easy and once done it offers complete peace of mind – knowing that your floors are a lot more pedestrian friendly.

• For the wheel chair ramp and entrance stairs we went with our tried and trusted specialty product, the Slip No More Nonslip Grip Kit. The grip kit is applied on the edge of each stair, or at intervals on a ramp to greatly maximize the surface area’s grip potential. Grip kits work well on wet or dry surfaces and are always our first recommendation for ramps, slopes or inclines. If you have any stairs or ramps you would like to slip-proof then you should consider a grip kit.
