1. The solution to...
slippery when wet!
SAFETY FLOOR/BATHTUB TREATMENT
A Sure Step Installation
is NOT Expensive!
The cost of Sure Step is pennies when compared
to the cost of medical expense, lost time, and the
suffering resulting from a slip/fall injury. Don’t let
your profits slip away due to expensive lawsuits,
employee down time or increased insurance costs.

Sure Step Non-Slip
Makes floors and tubs safer and healthier.
Guest/Visitors… With certain steps and obstacles,
an unfamiliar environment could cause difficulty with
slipping or falling.
Elderly… Slower reactions can be an unfortunate
cause of many slip/fall accidents, particularly when
walking on a wet floor.
Handicapped… Restricted movement or vision can
result in the increased possibility of a fall.
Everyone… We’ve all experienced a slip at some
time or another. And it always comes as a
surprise…we can never seem to be too careful.
A Few Comments From
Our Sure Step Customers
“Just a quick note to tell you your Sure Step Non-Slip is still
working great. Our floors are as safe as they were when the product
was first applied.” - Restaurant Chain
“I have never seen anything like it. Our kitchen floor was a
disaster…the staff were falling all the time. I didn’t believe that your
Non-Slip would make such a difference, but the floors are no longer
dangerous. Thank You.” - Restaurant Chain
“As I told you, we had the tile down for three days before
we had our first slip and fall accident…we have not had
a slip and fall accident since you applied the Sure Step.”
- Condominium Complex
“Our bathtubs always had bathmats until we were introduced to
Sure Step Non-Slip. Now all our bathtubs are treated with your
remarkable product.” - Hotel Chain

Coefficient of Friction
Accepted Industry Standards
As Adopted by Underwriters Laboratory (UL)
And the American Society of Testing and Materials (A.S.T.M.)
“A static anti-slip coefficient of friction of .50 or
above is considered a safe walkway surface with a
dry condition. A reading below .50 is considered an
unsafe walkway surface.”
* .60 or above - Very Safe
.50 to .59 - Relative Safe
.40 to .49 - Dangerous
.35 to .39 - Very Dangerous
.00 to .34 - Unusually Dangerous
h The coefficient of friction is dramatically reduced
when an untreated flat hard mineral walkway
surface is subjected to a wetting agent.
h A walkway surface treated with Sure Step is
actually safer in a wet condition than a dry
untreated surface.
h Please read our guarantee to learn about
durability and maintenance.

the surface of hard mineral floors and
porcelain/enamel bathtubs.
h From 200 to 400 percent increase in coefficient
of friction when subjected to water.
h Will not change the appearance of floor or bathtub.
h No shut-down time required. Use floor or tub
