There’s a saying about the weather. If you don’t like it, just wait. It will change. In some places, they tell you, ‘Just wait a minute.’ In other places, it’s ‘an hour.’ But one thing is certain – the weather is always changing. And with the seasons changing, it’s time to think about if you have slip resistant flooring and if it’s ready for the winter weather?
Whether you’re ready or not, whatever is falling out of the sky is going to get tracked inside. Mud and salt make its way inside of shoes and boots, and your entryways and hallways suffer. Worse than dirty floors though, when snow and ice get tracked indoors, wet floors can create dangerous slipping hazards.
So, what can you do? At home, people often ask friends and family members to remove their shoes when they come inside. But in the workplace, that would be weird, unsanitary even…. But V-8 High-Performance Floors has a solution to the winter weather flooring issue.
Hybrid XT Flooring is Slip-resistant and Easy-to-Clean
There’s no need to concern yourself about tracking winter weather inside when you have easy-to-clean Hybrid XT Flooring from V-8 High-Performance slip resistant flooring. The combination of polyurea and polyaspartic resins creates an extra tough (that’s what the XT stands for) flooring surface that is non-absorbent and slip-resistant. And because the flooring is also chemical resistant, there’s no concern about damage or staining from salt or other chemicals used for de-icing winter roadways and sidewalks.
Best of all, it’s simple and easy to clean your flooring when snow, ice, salt, and mud do get tracked inside. To prevent water from puddling, we recommend using quality mats at all doorways and entrances and possibly adding a grip additive such as our V-Grip. For high-traffic areas, keeping a damp mop or squeegee handy can be helpful.
Other than these suggestions, just maintain your floors as usual. Sweeping and mopping as needed will keep your V-8 High-Performance Hybrid XT floors looking beautiful all year long (no matter what the weather does).
