Welcome

A SURE STEP BUSINESS DECISION

Sure StepOn a rainy day, the entrance way of every store and office building becomes a danger zone - for customers and staff. Every marble floor that's just been mopped, every kitchen in every restaurant or school cafeteria, every bathtub in every hotel, every washroom floor with a few drops of water - all these places and more are legal battlefields. Every commercial property or public building and even private dwellings and bath areas are faced with this potential liability.

SURE STEP "THE SOLUTION TO SLIPPERY WHEN WET!"

SURE STEP safety floor and tub treatment creates an invisible, sophisticated tread design into the surface of hard mineral floors and porcelain/enamel bathtubs. SURE STEP increases a surface's co-efficient of friction by 200-400% ...when wet! SURE STEP will not change the appearance of a floor or bathtub, and there is no downtime: you can use the floor or tub immediately following treatment.
