We have installed Traction-Step in lube centers across the nation, from Alaska to Puerto Rico.  Traction-Step has been selected as one of the top rated floor finishes in service bay and detail areas.  This floor covering will exceed all requirements as an ADA safety floor.  Traction-Step has also been tested against all petroleum products without any effects.

This slip resistant flooring is a homogeneous vinyl floor incorporating either a smooth or studded surface.  The wear surface is supported by a fiberglass reinforced interlayer in the center of the product to ensure dimensional stability.  Its slip resistance is achieved by embedding a substantial quantity and appropriate size of aluminum oxide and carborundum chips into the wear layer surface.

Traction-Step is an excellent choice for showing off antique cars in a custom garage, and maintenance is much easier.
