Drytac releases four new guides on essential floor graphics information

Drytac, a specialist of floor graphics media, has released four dedicated guides covering the essential aspects of floor graphic projects. These guides on key communications applications focus on safety obligations and insurance in retail, construction and housing, stadiums, and schools and universities respectively. The use of floor graphics accelerated at an unprecedented rate in 2020, owing to the need for social distancing and directional signage that can be easily observed. Drytac is a major brand in this field, manufacturing floor graphics media. As such, it has taken the lead on safety—the chief concern of any organisation using floor graphics for public use.

The new Drytac guides provide a general overview of floor media, including locations and surfaces, types of graphic solutions and the company’s relevant products. An FAQ section explains slip ratings and certifications and the tests to achieve them, with advice on how to maintain graphics to avoid slips and trips. It also covers the legal responsibilities of the supplier, installer and customer. These legal responsibilities are based on testing and retesting of all Drytac products. Every batch undergoes in-house QC testing to ensure it achieves almost all international standards for slip resistance. Research has confirmed that this test and its result, called a Pendulum Test Value (PTV/BPN), is the most reliable and accurate method for evaluating slip resistance.
