SAFETY FLOORING
99% within 24 hours. Unlike temporary coatings, these additives are built into the product’s surface layers, providing continuous protection without affecting appearance or maintenance.
For sectors such as healthcare, education and hospitality – where footfall is high and hygiene essential – this technology adds an extra layer of reassurance, complementing regular cleaning regimes and supporting healthier spaces.
QUIET CONFIDENCE: ACOUSTIC COMFORT
Safety is not just about traction underfoot. Excessive noise can also impact wellbeing, especially in multi-storey buildings or communal environments. LVT safety flooring specified with acoustic backing can reduce impact sound transmission by up to 19dB, softening ambient noise and creating calmer, more comfortable interiors.
Because this acoustic layer is factory-applied, it installs like standard LVT – no separate underlay or adhesive systems required. The result is a simple, specification-friendly way to improve sound performance without compromising safety or design intent.
TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE SAFETY
Safety flooring is also evolving to meet the industry’s wider environmental responsibilities. The latest innovations combine enhanced safety with lower carbon impact, using bio-attributed PVC that replaces fossil fuel feedstocks with renewable biomass under mass balance certification.
Equally important is the focus on end-of-life recovery. Through national take-back schemes, installation off-cuts and uplifted LVT can be segregated, collected and recycled into new materials rather than sent to landfill. These initiatives align with the growing emphasis on circularity and lifecycle assessment across commercial specification.
˝LVT safety floors embed slip- resistant particles throughout the
wear layers, ensuring durability for the life of the installation.˝
For instance, Amtico’s Take Back scheme has already diverted tens of tonnes of waste from landfill during its initial launch phase – a model that demonstrates how safety and sustainability can progress hand in hand.
Safety flooring has entered a new era – one where compliance, design and conscience can coexist. By choosing a product that has embedded slip resistance throughout the tile, integrated antimicrobial protection, and offers genuine creative freedom, specifiers no longer need to compromise aesthetics for performance.
With performance engineered from the ground up, modern LVT safety flooring offers contractors and specifiers alike a smarter, longer-lasting solution for safe, stylish commercial spaces.
