What is Life Floor?

Why flooring matters more than you think

Slips and falls are a challenge in any water park environment. While conventional surfaces often use abrasive coatings, Life Floor has been designed for how people actually want to play in water: barefoot. Life Floor tiles are soft for bare feet, and slip-resistant without being abrasive. Their Ripple 2.0 texture, with deeper grooves, reduces hydroplaning and is popular on applications such as play structure platforms, stair towers, ramps, zero-depth entries, pool decks, and below multi-level play structures.

Traction

Life Floor tiles are designed to be slip-resistant without being abrasive. British Pendulum results range from 40-55 depending on texture, giving Life Floor the highest possible BPN result worldwide versus conventional coatings.

Non-abrasive Surface

If you fall on surfaces or coatings that create traction with sharp, gritty texture, you risk cutting, scraping, and other laceration-type injuries. Life Floor provides superior traction without the injuries.

Impact-absorption

If someone does fall, the high impact built-in cushioning of Life Floor will minimize the bumps
and bruises, while the tile’s soft surface will prevent cuts and scrapes.

How Effective is the Cushioning in Life Floor Tiles?

 The thicker the tile, the safer the fall…

Life Floor 10 mm has a critical fall height of 0.3 meters. During testing, most eggs don’t break when dropped from a height of 0.9 meters above.

Layering Life Floor allows it to absorb even greater impacts. Testers have dropped eggs onto a 32 mm thick Life Floor tile from a roof 7.6 meters above.

See for yourself. Watch the videos below Life Floor for a demonstration:

Traction

With a static coefficient of .92, Life Floor is significantly more slip-resistant than broomed concrete. Even at a 35 degree angle, our testers are still sure-footed on Life Floor.

Cushioning

Our 3/8” tile has a critical fall height of 1 ft, but most eggs won’t break when dropped from 3 ft above. Seriously. Request a sample and try it.
