Skid and slip-resistant flooring products are used in many different types of settings and applications, from pools, factories, bathrooms, retirement homes, restaurants, industrial facilities, showrooms, and other commercial buildings. Many playground and garage settings and gymnasiums are often outfitted with skid-resistant flooring, too, for aesthetic and safety reasons.
