Scottish architectural specifications — particularly in heritage refurbishment, retail flagship stores, and specialist hospitality venues — increasingly use glass flooring. Wet performance varies dramatically with etch depth and pattern.
Glass flooring slip performance depends almost entirely on surface texture. Deep texturing can achieve excellent wet PTV; shallow decorative etching typically fails wet-PTV thresholds. For Scottish commercial specification, evidence matters.
We test glass floor products both in our UKAS ISO 17025 accredited laboratory (Schedule 7933) and in situ across Scottish commercial premises. Laboratory pre-testing is typically the most cost-effective approach for specification; in-situ testing is used for post-installation verification, annual compliance monitoring, and forensic post-incident evidence.
Typical turnaround: 48 hours from sample receipt (laboratory) or 48 hours from site attendance (in-situ). All testing issues a full UKAS-accredited certificate suitable for Scottish specification, tender, building-control, insurance, and litigation purposes.
It depends entirely on the etch depth and pattern. Shallow decorative etching often has poor wet PTV; deep texturing performs much better.
Yes — we test structural glass floors using BS 7976 / BS EN 16165 in both dry and wet conditions.
Similar challenges — high-gloss surfaces typically have excellent dry PTV and poor wet PTV. Specification without testing is a common cause of Scottish commercial claims.
