Brick is a stone artificially produced from ceramic material (clay). Brick paving clinker is particularly weather-resistant (water and frost) and resistant to pressure, acid, and mechanical impact, which is why it is traditionally used as a covering for sidewalks.
The public area in front of the town hall and library is paved with clinker bricks. However, there were increasing complaints that
the clinker bricks become very slippery, especially in wet weather, and that there is an acute risk of falling, particularly in the entrance area (access with a slope). The surface of the clinker bricks had become worn and smooth over the decades. Instead of tearing out the paving bricks, disposing of them, and installing new pavement, a sustainable solution was sought. The building fabric remains intact, but the anti-slip coating ensures safe walking.
Before the paving bricks were treated with the anti-slip coating, the surface was cleaned and our bonding agent was applied. The access area now has R12 slip resistance, which means that it is slip-resistant on slopes of 27°–35°, thus preventing the risk of slipping accidents.
