Safety is rightly a high profile and necessary topic in and around swimming pools, both public and private, and flooring is one of the most important aspects that contractors and pool owners have to give time and attention to when building or updating a wet leisure area

a pool environment – consistently wet floors; lots of running around by children can often spell problems.

beautiful anti-slip tiles that meet stringent UK and European Standards. The tiles are both elegant and practical and include step-nosed for pool edgings with skirting tiles to match. A combination of modern technology,
exquisitely honed natural stone and the very best craftsmanship means that Really Safe can provide pool designers with the ability to add another dimension to pool surrounds. The outdated concept of a purely functional poolroom can now become an elegant pool hall; safe and practical for swimming and exercise, yet also a wonderful and stylish venue to relax, entertain or even dine in. The company have a wealth of experience and
expertise that enables them to supply and advise on slip-resistant tiles and using modern technology can also implement a specialist treatment that may be used on natural stone, granite and marble to bring each surface up to the anti-slip standards that comply with EU and British Standard Regulations. When carrying out this work, Really Safe’s own contracting teams ensure maximum results with the minimum impact of the floor, using sealing methods that simplify onward maintenance.

and Pippa Highnam and is based in the heart of the Somerset Levels. Tact is a commercial affiliate member of the Institute of Sports & Recreation Management and specialise in solving flooring problems and providing effective solutions to
