Glass roof becomes slip-resistant.

Emergency walkways on glass roof are coated with anti-slip coating.

Glass roofs are roof structures in which glass is used as the main material to bring light into the space below. They are often used in modern architectural designs and give the building a transparent and elegant appearance.

Glass is naturally smooth due to its chemical structure and the way it is manufactured. This property is an advantage when it comes to cleaning, but in the case of walkable glass floors, the smooth surface structure poses a safety risk. Add to this damp or wet weather, and the surface becomes a dangerous slide.

The glass roof of the administration building was slippery and therefore posed a risk of slipping and falling. As the roof also serves as an emergency exit, it was urgent to eliminate this hazard for the emergency walkways. The anti-slip coating from SWISSGriP was applied using a spray process, which increases the friction of the glass surface and corresponds to slip resistance class R11. As the coating is transparent, daylight continues to fall into the rooms below and the elegant aesthetics of the glass roof are retained. The anti-slip coating is also weather-resistant to frost and UV radiation.
