Do you test residential properties?
Yes, we test both commercial and residential properties. Residential slip testing is particularly important for wet areas like bathrooms, laundries, pool surrounds, and outdoor entertaining areas. Body corporates and strata managers often require testing for common areas in apartment complexes.
Do you provide slip testing for builders and construction projects?
Absolutely. We work with builders and construction companies to verify that newly installed floor surfaces meet the required P-ratings before handover. Testing during the construction phase ensures compliance from day one and protects you from liability issues after completion.
What is slip testing?
Slip testing is the scientific measurement of a floor surface's slip resistance. Using calibrated equipment like the wet pendulum tester, we measure how slippery a floor is under wet and dry conditions. The results are classified using P-ratings (P0 to P5) according to Australian Standards AS 4586 and AS 4663.
What is AS 4663?
AS 4663:2013 is the Australian Standard for slip resistance measurement of existing pedestrian surfaces. It provides the methodology for testing floors that are already installed and in use, helping property owners and facility managers verify that their floors maintain adequate slip resistance over time.
