Will Your Floor Pass A Pendulum Test?
Q
Comments (0)
Despite there being numerous steps put in place by the health and safety executive, there still remains a high amount of slips and trips in the workplace, causing people to be absent from work due to personal injury. For every accidental trip that happens resulting in an injury, it is so easy for someone to pick up the phone and call a personal injury lawyer. Will your floors stand up to the scrutiny in the event of a claim? The Health and Safety at Work Act (1974) requires businesses to take preventative measures to minimize the risk of slips and trips in the workplace. In order to pass a health and safety inspection in new businesses, there is a chance that a planning officer may test the floor surface to get an accurate reading of slip resistance. The tests used to ensure your floors pose minimum risk include: 1. Pendulum test This is also known as a portable skid resistance tester and it is subject to British Standards: BS 7976: Parts1-3, 2002. Using an imitation heel, the device will swing over a sampling of the floor surface to record the Pendulum Test Values (PTV). The Pendulum test has proved to be a reliable and efficient method of floor testing, however a flooring technician trained to use the Pendulum must use the device. The preparation of the rubber slider must be set up accurately to test the conditions of both dry floors and contaminated floors. When water is on the floor surface, that’s when slips are likely to happen. To minimise the risk of slips happening on wet floors, commercial premises must have a PTV of 36+ minimum. 2. Surface Roughness Testing A surface roughness meter can be used to supplement the data obtained in the Pendulum test. It is a quick and efficient method to test solid hardwood flooring. Ideally, the test results would be over 20 µm, meaning it has low slip potential. If your score indicates a moderate or high slip potential, then a higher level of floor roughness will be required to minimize the risk. A thicker veneer coat may also help increase the surface roughness score, lowering the slip risk. Manufacturers Data Sheets All flooring manufacturers will provide product data sheets, safety information sheets, and technical data sheets in compliance with European Directives. The flooring data sheets are what every business owner should have in their business records, providing details that they have in fact, installed non-slip flooring in accordance with the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. Accidents do and will happen, but when they do, they will be just that. An accident! It may be due to human error, carelessness, or an untied shoelace. But the fact remains that if you have your surface roughness test showing a low slip risk, combined with a PTV of over 36, and follow the safety advice for the cleaning and maintenance of solid wood flooring (or engineered), then you will have done everything in your power to protect your employees from the risks of slippery floors.

In both the plans it assumes the garage is newly built so we can play with the size as we need to some extent. At 4m wide it’s wider than a standard single at least so I was thinking 5 x 4 would satisfy a lot of peoples desire for a ‘garage space’ - although you won’t get a car in granted. I think in my original post we were going to build around the existing 6m garage. That is still likely to be the case initially. We need the upstairs more urgently and realistically only have budget for that short term. That will be supported over the existing garage on ‘stilts’ - so the Garage foundation won’t be carrying extra load. However we want to design and plan the ‘end state’ so we only have to do one round of planning and also so that any supporting posts are designed into the downstairs layout already. Hence we are designing it all now. This is clearly not ideal in building terms but that’s where we’re at budget wise - bedrooms are the priority. We can also find out how short our budget is for the full scheme. In truth you are correct we will never use the garage for a car - it will be utility, storage and maybe even a bit of gym equipment. However I think the house looks better balanced by having garage doors. We did something similar in our old house and had part glazed wooden doors on what ended up being a utility room. The doors let in light and also make it easy to get larger objects in/out. We’d would likely add tiled flooring and a heat source too so it’s kind of a room with garage doors. Hopefully that combo would satisfy most people who would use a garage similarly. A car port could be an option - although we’d lose the front garden which is a nice feature and adds curb appeal. We’ll certainly canvass a few agents for their thoughts before we make the final choice. Thanks again.

The house is not for young family, boys are 10 and 13 if it makes sense. Totally we would like to keep 3 bedrooms on the ground floor. Upstairs extension I am thinking of 2 bedrooms for guests. The front garage I don’t need but I would like to keep the garage which is accessible from road behind (cul-de-sac). As shown in my plan as playroom it should actually be a gym for boys. Only to be used as a garage when I am out on holiday, hence I am not much stressed about it. I have mentioned in my brief that upstairs open area can be used as gym, what my thought was just a thread mill and hanging boxing bag. The corner side by backside garage door is the sunny aspect of the house, not fully from the back but from sideways. The Bathroom as soon as you enter the house is same size of the bedroom next to it, hence thinking of making the bathroom smaller. We would like to keep the kitchen and dining separate, except a breakfast table in the kitchen. The hall by entrance would like some cupboard for hanging coats and shoe rack, the hall is huge as well. The living room to the front garage is a flat roof hence the height is 1 brick down compared to the rest of the house. As going up and putting a new roof I am told that that can be sorted.

Anyone used rubber flooring is living areas?

Unusual choice, Helen. Have you seen a type of rubber that has captured your imagination? Jaymart have a few options. They only sell direct to trade so we would be a purchase vehicle for you. Here are some ideas taken from their portfolio > click here <. If anything takes your fancy ask us for samples, Helen. A more conventional style would be to consider good quality luxury vinyl tile or laminate flooring. A high quality laminate will withstand general leaks and spills as well as being easy to maintain. Despite the bad PR they gained due to the poor qualities previously being sold in DIY and IKEA stores, modern day high quality laminate flooring do look fabulous and wear for ages. Quick-Step is one such high quality laminate, carries lengthy manufacturer backed warranties and we currently offer all their collection with 0% finance and quantity discounts. Click here to see Quick-Step's collection. Quick Step products all carry long warranties and are available on our site with 0% finance. LVTs are also a viable solution. Man made, inert, they do not expand and contract when fully adhered to your sub floor and are, arguably, the easiest of floors to live with when catering for a busy household. Different method of manufacturing compared with laminate. LVTs are pvc based and generally 2.5mm thick and are fully adhered to the subfloor, whereas laminates are wood pulp based and generally around 8-12mm thick. In terms of wear and appearance there's very little pros and cons between the better quality brands. Karndean make a good LVT but with all the hype behind their brand and marketing you do end up paying more than perhaps you should. Lesser quality laminates are cheaper and help meet most budgets but rarely stand the test of time and, actually, aesthetically they are noticeably inferior. Amtico and Karndean are LVT brand leaders and back their products with significant warranties but we would also recommend you considering these keener priced alternatives that come from equally reputable producers: Flooring Megastore own label LVT, all of which have 0% finance available -> click herehere. Other great quality LVTs that are more sensibly priced are Polyflor -> click here and Natural Solutions -> click here. If there is anything we can do to help you Helen do feel free to contact via live chat directly from our web site, or email us at info@flooringmegastore.co.uk or telephone which is 01622 - 790 356. Finally, we suggest any consumer performing due diligence before commissioning work to an unknown supplier. You can view ourTrustPilot reviews by clicking here. We currently score 9.4/10 We're cute, we're cuddly… we're the Flooring Gurus!
