Safety Flooring & Slip-Resistant Systems

In high-traffic, wet, or demanding commercial environments, slip resistance isn’t just a preference—it’s a strict legal requirement. At Onyx Flooring Solutions, we supply and expertly fit heavy-duty, slip-resistant safety flooring designed to protect your staff, visitors, and pupils while ensuring full regulatory compliance.

From commercial kitchens and hospital wards to school toilets and wet rooms, our heavy-duty safety vinyl systems deliver maximum slip resistance without sacrificing aesthetics or hygiene. Partnering with industry-leading manufacturers like Altro, Polyflor, and Forbo, our DBS-checked installation team delivers flawless finishes built to withstand intense daily use.

Key Features of Our Safety Flooring

  • HSE & UK Building Regulation Compliant: Engineered to meet strict Health & Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines, achieving optimal Pendulum Test Values (PTV 36+) and high slip-resistance ratings (R10–R12) in both wet and dry conditions.

  • Hygienic Cap & Cove Installation: We specialise in coved skirting, carrying the flooring seamlessly up the wall to eliminate joints where dirt, bacteria, and moisture can gather.

  • Impermeable & Hot-Welded Seams: Thermally welded seams create a 100% watertight seal, essential for preventing subfloor water damage and maintaining clinical cleanliness.

  • Extreme Durability: Resistant to heavy footfall, wheeled traffic, harsh chemicals, and frequent cleaning regimes.

  • Modern Design Options: Gone are the days of institutional-looking floors. Today’s safety vinyl comes in a wide array of stylish wood effects, stone finishes, and contemporary colours.
