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 Australian Standards apply to slip testing?
The two key standards are AS 4586:2013 (Slip resistance classification of new pedestrian surface materials) and AS 4663:2013 (Slip resistance measurement of existing pedestrian surfaces). AS 4586 applies to new flooring installations, while AS 4663 covers testing of floors already in use. Both standards use the wet pendulum test method.
