Belzona Facts
Customer had contracted with another vendor to apply a non-slip safety system to the dish wash room floor. However, soon after completion of the application, it was found that the surface was extremely slippery. Belzona was approached to apply our standard system over this coating. Within a few months the inferior coating started to delaminate. We were contracted to remove all the red coating and apply a Belzona safety grip system directly to the original floor tiles.
