Introduction
For many years, the problem of slippery floors in hotels, hospitals, and swimming pools was treated with primitive solutions like carpets or rubber strips. These fixes were temporary, unhygienic, and often ruined the aesthetic appeal of the floors. But with the invention of Swiss technology SwissGrip®, the landscape changed completely: it became possible to combine ultimate luxury with maximum safety at the same time, without compromising on appearance or quality.
The Story of Innovation: From Need to Solution
In Switzerland, where precision and quality are part of the national identity, experts noticed that household and hotel slip accidents were occurring at an alarming rate. The challenge was to create a solution that wouldn’t spoil the beauty of luxury floors, especially marble and ceramic. From this need came the idea of a transparent anti‑slip coating, subjected to rigorous scientific testing and awarded international certifications proving its effectiveness.
How Does SwissGrip® Work?
- A transparent layer applied to floors without changing their color or appearance.
- Tested using the Pendulum Test, which scientifically measures slip resistance.
- Provides long‑lasting protection with a guarantee of up to three years.
- Suitable for hotels, hospitals, swimming pools, yachts, homes, and commercial centers.
A Revolution in Luxury Hotels
Global hotels such as The Ritz‑Carlton Riyadh, Mandarin Oriental Hotel, and Sheraton Riyadh Hotel & Towers realized that luxury alone is not enough. A single slip accident in a hotel lobby or bathroom could damage a global reputation. That’s why these hotels adopted SwissGrip® to ensure every guest’s step is safe, whether in marble corridors or private bathrooms.
Pools and Spas: Safe Enjoyment
At wellness resorts like Narcissus Riyadh Hotel & Spa, where guests spend long hours in pools and jacuzzis, safety becomes part of the relaxation experience. SwissGrip® ensures wet floors don’t turn into hazards, but remain part of a luxurious and safe environment.
Hospitals and Clinics: Protecting Lives
Healthcare institutions such as Aster Sanad Hospital in Riyadh adopted Swiss technology because it reduces accidents among patients and visitors. In sensitive environments like hospitals, even a minor slip can lead to serious complications, making anti‑slip coatings an essential part of safety standards.
