Accurate Floor Slip-Risk Assessment Using Pendulum Testing

GripBooster provides professional Pendulum Slip Resistance Testing to accurately evaluate the slip resistance and safety performance of floor surfaces under controlled testing conditions.

The Pendulum Test is a widely recognized method for assessing the slip potential of flooring surfaces, particularly where water, moisture, contamination, or pedestrian traffic may increase the risk of slipping. It provides an objective measurement of the surface's friction characteristics and helps determine whether a floor provides an appropriate level of slip resistance.

Why Pendulum Testing Matters

A floor may look clean and safe but can become significantly more slippery when exposed to water, soap, oil, or other contaminants. Visual inspection alone cannot reliably determine the actual slip resistance of a surface.

Our pendulum testing service helps:

• Assess the slip resistance of existing floors
• Identify potentially hazardous slippery areas
• Compare floor performance before and after GripBooster treatment
• Evaluate wet and contaminated floor conditions
• Support floor safety assessments and maintenance decisions
• Provide documented test results for clients and facility management

Our Testing Process

1. Site & Surface Assessment
We inspect the floor type, condition, location, and expected operating environment.

2. Test Area Preparation
The selected test areas are prepared according to the testing requirements.

3. Pendulum Slip Resistance Test
A calibrated pendulum tester is used to measure the frictional characteristics of the floor surface.

4. Multiple Test Readings
Measurements are taken at the required locations and conditions to obtain reliable results.

5. Results & Evaluation
The readings are analyzed to determine the floor's measured slip resistance and identify areas requiring attention.

6. Test Report & Certification
A professional test report can be provided documenting the test location, floor condition, test readings, and results.

Before & After GripBooster Testing

For GripBooster treatment projects, we can perform pre-treatment and post-treatment Pendulum Slip Resistance Testing to demonstrate the improvement in floor grip.

This provides clients with measurable evidence of the treatment performance rather than relying solely on visual appearance or subjective feel.

Suitable Applications

Our Pendulum Slip Resistance Testing can be carried out on a wide range of surfaces and locations, including:

• Swimming pools and pool coping areas
• Bathrooms and wet areas
• Hotel floors and public areas
• Commercial kitchens
• Shopping malls
• Restaurants and food-service areas
• Entrances and walkways
• Ramps and inclined surfaces
• Marble, granite and natural stone
• Ceramic and porcelain tiles
• Commercial and industrial flooring

Professional Floor Safety Testing

Don't rely on appearance alone — measure the grip.

GripBooster combines professional floor assessment with objective slip-resistance testing to help property owners, facility managers, contractors, hotels, and commercial establishments make informed decisions about floor safety.

Test. Measure. Improve. Protect.
