Find out what makes a good anti-slip shower tray and the independent tests that it should be capable of passing. This presentation looks at a new generation of anti-slip shower trays and answers some common questions, such as: whether anti-slip properties are an integral part of the shower tray design or an applied coating; whether slip resistance properties have limitations for the life of the shower tray; whether slip resistance values take account of likely contaminants found in the shower tray, such as soap suds; and, the best techniques for a problem-free installation.
