In the design of water and theme parks, campsites, hotels and resorts and other leisure and tourism facilities, safety is as crucial as fun. One of the elements to ensure safety is precisely the choice of appropriate non-slip flooring, especially in wet areas, in accordance with safety regulations in public spaces. Below, we explore the best options for creating safe and attractive facilities:
–Non-slip tiles: with textured finishes, these tiles are ideal for areas near swimming pools and water attractions. Their moisture resistance and compliance with safety standards make them a reliable and aesthetically pleasing option.
–Rubber or recycled rubber flooring: perfect for playgrounds and transit areas, these tiles cushion impacts and offer excellent grip, even when wet. In addition to being environmentally friendly, they stand out for their resistance to wear and tear and their ability to adapt to themed environments.
–Epoxy resin with textured finish: this is a modern and highly customisable solution, ideal for themed or technical areas such as changing rooms, kitchens and service areas. Its high durability and ease of maintenance make it a practical and visually appealing option.
–Non-slip concrete: this is a classic for walkways and outdoor spaces. It can be treated with special textures or coatings to maximise safety, while withstanding heavy use and weathering.
–Treated, natural or composite wood: this is an ideal solution for themed areas with a rustic or natural design, such as bridges, piers or raised walkways. Anti-slip varnishes ensure safety without compromising aesthetics.
We hope that this brief overview of safety flooring for water and theme parks, campsites, hotels and resorts and other leisure and tourism facilities has been useful. When it comes to design, Amusement Logic always makes a personalised study of each project and chooses the best option.
