Modern resurfacing solution for ADA compliance

ADA SAFETY FLOOR

After a decade of research and field testing SEMCO released the brand new SEMCO ADA Safety Floor. The SEMCO ADA Safety Floor is engineered to assist in remodeling projects that require ADA compliance in Coefficient of Friction (slip resistance), Surface Slope Regrading, and Surface Aperture Closure.

Department of Justice ADA Title III Regulation 28 CFR Part 36, Section A4.5.1; Recommends minimum of 0.60 SCOF for horizontal surfaces and 0.80 SCOF on ramps.

 

SLIP AND FALL RISK REDUCTION

Slip resistant flooring is an important element of ensuring a public access floor is compliant with ADA regulations. Currently a floor must have a minimum coefficient of friction (COF) of 0.60 for standard flat flooring, where sloped or ramped surfaces exceeding a 2% slope requires a 0.80 COF. Utilizing the SEMCO ADA Safety Floor with Remodel without Removal™ ADA compliant flooring can be created on any solid flooring product. The SEMCO ADA Safety Floor provides a slip resistant floor that can be used for standard flooring or ramped surfaces. The SEMCO ADA Safety Floor maintains the same dry slip resistance when wet.

 

REGRADING WITHOUT THE NEED FOR DEMOLITION OF EXISTING SURFACE

To be in compliance with ADA regulations, a public access floor must not exceed a slope of 2%. A common area floor that has sloping exceeding 2% must be addressed as a ramp, which will require flooring rated no less than 0.80 COF. The SEMCO ADA Safety Floor is applicable from as thin as 1/32” to 6”. With the SEMCO ADA Safety Floor a floor slope can be adjusted without extensive demolition or removal of existing flooring.

EASY INSTALLATION

The SEMCO ADA Safety Floor installation accommodates all location and conditions. SEMCO materials can be easily and safely installed without hassling employees, guests, or customers. This is due to the use of GREEN MATERIALS and the intrinsic properties that allow rapid cure of all installed surfacing.
