Glass floor lights are a popular feature in many indoor and outdoor areas. However, many of the glass floor light covers pose slipping risks and do not meet the Australian Standard for Slip-Resistance. Swiss GriP is used by many manufacturers to create slip-resistant glass floor lights.
Glass is a difficult surface to make slip-resistant. Classical solutions include etching or sandblasting the glass. However, both option significantly reduce the transparency and translucence of the glass. This can especially effect glass floor lights as the light that can travel through the glass is reduced.
Swiss GriP Non-Slip provides a solution that not only meets the Australian Standards for slip-resistance, it also provides optimal translucency. This is why glass light manufacturer like iGuzzini choose swiss grip to make slip-resistant glass floor lights.
One of the most recent projects where Swiss GriP was used by iGuzzini is for the newly constructed George Street Plaza Building in Sydney. In total, Swiss GriP was applied pre-installation to 55 glass lights. The slip-rating provided ranged from P3 up to P4 in accordance to AS 4586-2013.
