All FibreGrid
products have been tested for slip resistance using the
Pendulum Test procedure.
The Pendulum
Test is designed to test the slip resistance of floor
surfaces and is universally accepted as the best test
available.
The Skid
Resistance Tester operates thanks to a pendulum with a
rubber slider, which bounces from a fixed height and
sharpens with an edge over a fixed length of the road
surface. The energy converted by the sliding procedure is
determined on the basis of the climbing height of the
pendulum and results in a measure for the pavement grip of
the examined surface.

"FibreGrid's products achieved
some of the highest slip resistant levels i have measured.
All the products tested recorded values of 65 or above for
dry conditions. Even when wet conditions were introduced
the products still performed to a very high standard." |
