Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions

  • Slip Patrol's Non-Slip Treatment is a long-lasting chemical application that creates an invisible, microscopic tread on the surface of hard mineral floors. This reaction increases the Dynamic Coefficient of Friction (DCOF) above the commercial safety standard of 0.42, dramatically improving slip resistance without changing the appearance of your flooring.

  • Slip Patrol is engineered to work on: Porcelain Tile, Ceramic Tile, Terrazzo, Spanish Tile, Granite, Natural Stone, Concrete, Quarry Tile, Glazed Brick, Marble, and many additional hard mineral flooring types.

  • No. Our treatment does NOT change the look, shine, or color of the tile. It's non-topical, non-coating, non-etching, and completely invisible.

  • We offer a 1-year commercial warranty. With proper maintenance and optional annual service plans, your floors can maintain ongoing ANSI compliance.

Technical Information

  • DCOF stands for Dynamic Coefficient of Friction—a scientific way of determining how much traction a surface provides when walked on, especially when wet. The ANSI A326.3 standard requires a minimum of 0.42 DCOF for wet conditions. Floors below this threshold pose significantly greater risk of slips and falls.

  • The ANSI A326.3 standard is the nationally recognized method for measuring the Dynamic Coefficient of Friction (DCOF) of walking surfaces to determine slip resistance under wet conditions.

    The BOT-3000E tribometer is one of the only testing devices specifically validated and recognized by ANSI for compliance testing under this standard.

  • Yes! Slip Patrol offers BOT-3000E slip testing with time-stamped receipts for attorneys and businesses that need verified proof of floor safety compliance. DCOF testing is available before and after treatment.

  • The BOT-3000E is a tribometer used to measure the Dynamic Coefficient of Friction (DCOF) of floor surfaces. It provides time-stamped receipts which are valuable for legal documentation and compliance verification.

Service & Maintenance

  • No. Our Safety Professionals will treat your floors, walkways, pool areas and bathtub/showers without any interruption to your business or home. You can use your floor immediately after treatment—zero downtime.

  • No. No specialized cleaners or new maintenance routines are required after our treatment is applied.

  • Yes. We can train your staff to follow proper floor-cleaning protocols to help maintain floor safety.

  • We warranty all work performed and can provide you with a custom warranty and maintenance program to suit your needs for protection. All treatments include a warranty and optional annual service plans designed to maintain ongoing ANSI compliance, protect customer safety, and reduce liability exposure.

Liability & Legal

  • Warning cones, 'Slippery When Wet' signs, and cleaning logs don't prove your floors are safe. In most slip-and-fall cases, liability often comes down to one question: Did your floor meet accepted safety standards at the time of the incident? Not whether you had a yellow cone out.

  • Independent ANSI A326.3 slip-resistance testing and written reports from Slip Patrol help show due diligence and a proactive effort to maintain reasonably safe premises—critical factors in premises liability claims and insurance evaluations. We don't just help make your floors safer; we help make your safety defensible on paper.

  • Yes. We partner with insurance agencies and risk managers to help businesses reduce liability exposure, document due diligence, and better protect their guests, employees, and bottom line.

  • If someone slips and falls, you could be facing claims for medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages, and loss of earning capacity. In serious cases, attorneys may also pursue future economic damages tied to permanent impairment or disability. One slip can turn into a six-figure problem—as demonstrated by the $7.68 million Burger King lawsuit in Florida.
