The service life of anti-slip floor treatment depends on the surface, treatment system, foot traffic, cleaning routine and environmental conditions. There is no single duration that can be promised for every floor, even when the same product is used.

Factors that influence durability

• Traffic volume: busy entrances and corridors experience more wear than rarely used rooms.
• Cleaning frequency: intensive cleaning can affect performance depending on the products and equipment used.
• Contamination: grease, soap, scale and polishing residues can reduce traction even if treatment remains present.
• Surface type: tile composition, finish and previous coatings influence performance.
• Weather and moisture: outdoor areas and constantly wet zones may need more frequent checks.

How can the service life be managed?

Follow the recommended cleaning procedure, avoid unapproved waxes or polishes, remove contamination promptly and keep records of inspections. Areas with repeated incidents or changing conditions should be reassessed rather than relying only on a calendar schedule.

When should a floor be retested?

Consider testing after treatment, after major maintenance or changes to cleaning products, and whenever the surface condition or slip history changes. Results should be interpreted using an appropriate method and the relevant site requirements.

Ask your provider what performance is expected, how it will be verified and what maintenance is required. GripBooster recommends setting a site-specific inspection plan rather than assuming a fixed lifespan for every treated floor.
