Each  year in the United States, one of every three persons over the age of  65 will experience a fall. Half of which are repeat fallers.

Falls  happen for many reasons - unsteadiness, inadequate footwear, as well as  slippery flooring.  Let's reduce the risk however we can.  

Falls represent 40% of all nursing home admissions and are the sixth leading cause of death among people aged 70 years or older.

 We  offer a long-lasting chemical treatment that creates an invisible,  sophisticated tread design into the surface of hard mineral floors and  porcelain/enamel bathtubs. We will not change the appearance of the  floor or bathtub. Our product has been developed and proven for  concrete, quarry tile, spanish tile, ceramic tile, glazed brick, marble,  terrazzo, porcelain/enamel, and many other hard mineral surfaces. 

 It   is not a film or a coating.  Nor does it leave any chemicals, grit or  residue on the surface of the floor or bathtub.  Once a surface is  treated, 100% of the solution is neutralized and then removed. This  treatment is a clean process and will often leaves your looking cleaner  and newer than when we started.  Other than looking cleaner, your floors  appearance will remain unchanged.

The  process is simple.  We will come to you and assess your floors with a  test to measure the dynamic co-efficient of friction of your floors.  We  can then demonstrate how it works on a small area of your floor or a  tile sample so you can see for yourself.  If you like what you see,  which we know you will, we will schedule a time to do the process with  little or no interruption to your business or daily routine.
