Safety
Traditional mats may look like a quick fix, but in reality they can increase risks. They slide on wet tiles, their edges curl and cause tripping, and over time they lose suction power and become ineffective. In contrast, the Swiss SwissGrip® coating provides a stable, slip-resistant surface, certified according to BS EN 16165:2021, ensuring safety whether barefoot or wearing shoes. It’s a permanent and reliable solution, unlike mats that deteriorate quickly.
Hygiene
Mats absorb water and soap, becoming an ideal environment for bacteria and mold, even with frequent washing. Bad odors and contamination remain a constant issue. Meanwhile, SwissGrip® is a transparent coating that doesn’t trap moisture or allow germs to accumulate, and it can be cleaned easily along with the tiles themselves. This makes it the healthiest choice for hotels and hospitals seeking a clean and safe environment.
Durability
Mats wear out quickly after just a few months of use and washing, requiring regular replacement. SwissGrip®, however, is designed to withstand daily use, constant exposure to water and soap, and even strong cleaning agents. Thanks to its long-term warranty, it remains effective for years without the need for replacement or frequent maintenance.
Aesthetics
Mats cover tiles and look bulky, clashing with the modern design of hotels and homes. In contrast, SwissGrip® is completely invisible, preserving the beauty of marble or ceramic floors and enhancing luxury without any negative impact on appearance.
Maintenance
Mats require regular washing, drying, and replacement, creating extra burdens for hotels and households. SwissGrip® is applied once and works permanently, with no special maintenance or replacement needed.
