The safety of floors is a major concern in both public and private spaces: swimming pools, hotel entrances, spas, commercial spaces and homes where there is a real risk of slipping, especially on floors made of porcelain, ceramic, granite or other silica stone. It\u2019s essential to ensure these floors are anti-slip to protect people and reduce the risk of accident.<\/span><\/p>\n

FILA Solutions\u2019 PROGRIP<\/a><\/b> is a <\/span>professional treatment<\/b> designed to increase surfaces\u2019 friction coefficient without altering their appearance or finish. Unlike other products, it does not create any film, making the flooring safer, while preserving its original appearance. PROGRIP\u2019s effectiveness has been certified through technical testing to guarantee reliable and verifiable results.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Areas of application<\/b><\/h3>\n

PROGRIP is recommended to reduce the risk of slipping on porcelain floors installed in both indoor and outdoor spaces, poolside areas, spa spaces, stairs, thresholds where there is standing water or wherever slipping is a risk due to rain or moisture.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is useful to address design errors where a material with an insufficient friction coefficient for the installation site has been used.<\/span><\/p>\n

The treatment may be carried out on limited sections of a surface, where there is an increased risk of slipping, for example entrances to public use areas and stairs.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

How does PROGRIP work?<\/b><\/h3>\n

PROGRIP reacts with the material, creating micro-abrasions that increase the surface roughness, thus increasing friction.<\/span><\/p>\n

A floor may be slippery when there is a loss of adherence between the foot (shod or barefoot) and the surface. This phenomenon is particularly evident in wet conditions, where the foot may slip on the film of water covering the surface. After treatment with PROGRIP, the water runs off the floor more easily, significantly increasing slip resistance.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to use PROGRIP<\/b><\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. \n

    Prepare the surface<\/b>: clean the floor thoroughly, removing all dirt and stains with the appropriate FILA cleaner<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. Determine the most suitable contact time<\/b>: test the product on a small concealed area to determine the most suitable contact time, while protecting adjacent areas.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. \n

    Application<\/b>: apply PROGRIP with a fleece or white pad and leave for the determined contact time, ensuring the surface is always wet. Then clean with a wet vacuum cleaner or remove the residue with a cloth or mop. Rinse thoroughly with water and move to the next area. It is important to apply the product to all areas being treated for the same length of time and with the same method in order to achieve even results.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  4. After treatment, we recommend a <\/span>neutralising wash<\/b> using <\/span>CLEANER PRO<\/b><\/a> (diluted 1:200 or 25 mL in 5 litres of water) and a white pad on the entire treated surface.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
