Effective Nanotechnology Waterproofing for Landed Homes

Did you know that it’s not just the bathrooms and toilets of a home that need to be waterproofed?

Settling down in a nice landed property is the dream for many. It’s not an easy goal to reach- but you’ve done it! Still, we find that many homeowners should take into account that there are some extra preventative measures they can take to keep their property looking good and free from wear-and-tear damage for longer, including waterproofing their landed home.

We hear you KB! It gets very frustrating when a new home we move into has water leakage issues.

Here are 4 areas at landed home that need waterproofing!

1. Bathrooms are the cause of most water damage issues at home.

First-floor bathrooms and toilets are a common site for waterproofing issues indoors as they get wet regularly. Without proper bathroom ventilation, moisture from a shower will collect and seep into your grouts! If you’re unlucky, these wet grouts will develop cracks, letting water droplets eventually break through the ceiling below. By the time you notice a leakage problem, your wall or ceiling would have yellow stains.

Some telltale signs of water damage in your home can be seen from mould build up in the corners of your bathroom! Grimey and slimy grouts are difficult to clean because of how deeply the bacteria, mould, and other microbes have seeped into the concrete.

2. Your balcony is at risk of water damage!

Water leakage issues that happen from balcony areas are likely to cause chipping paint on your ceilings and walls. These issues are likely to spread from the balcony to the car porch area, too. It should be noted that both concrete or wooden balconies in humid or rainy environments are at higher risk of damage in humid or rainy environments, as they are exposed to water for longer.

Your balcony should have a drainage system that keeps water from pooling into a pond. Unfortunately, these drainage systems are likely to get clogged with grime, mould, or dirt. Pressure from this pool of dirty water would cause hairline cracks to form on your balcony, allowing water to seep through to the ceiling or wall below.

Nano-G Waterproofing Flat Roof and Balcony Leaking

DJ Chan Fong is planning ahead when it comes to preparing his landed property for Malaysia’s rainy and humid weather. In providing the balcony with an additional Nano-G Nanotechnology Waterproofing layer, he’s keeping the grouts in his landed home safe from stains, microbial growth, and more.

However, you can prevent this by making sure your wooden or tiled balcony areas are properly waterproofed. Nano-G recommends homeowners use our Nano-G Nanotechnology Waterproofing solution as it doesn’t affect the appearance of their balcony tiles while keeping them easy-to-maintain. Our clear, hydrophobic solution makes it difficult for grime, or unwanted microbial organisms from latching on and spreading on the surface.

3. Concrete flat roofs are known to pool water and cause water leakage issues on the ceilings below.

Uneven surfaces collect still water, causing hairline cracks to form from the pressure over time. As a homeowner, you may see this often near air-con outdoor unit areas or at the water reserve tank area. These areas are prone to dampness and are likely to influence water leakage to occur over time.

Many homeowners will see water damage issues at their car porch area, they will notice that a puddle of water has formed somewhere that is covered. This is often a result of the roof above, or water had seeped through in the gutters or drainage corners. By choosing to keep your home in tip-top shape, you keep your home looking as new as the day you bought it for longer.

Notice your concrete flat roof leaking and growing black with mould? It’s time to give your roofs a thorough cleanse and waterproofing with Nano-G Nanotechnology Waterproofing. On top of removing built-up dirt, mould, and grime in your rood, we provide an additional service of painting an extra protective coating too. This service is available upon request.

4. Your home’s exterior walls are likely to get weather damaged, too.

Home may provide a safe shelter for us from heavy rains and hot suns- but they need maintenance and protection too. As your home ages, you might have noticed that its exterior walls have become stained with rain, dirt, and dust. A lot of times they accumulate in places that are hard to reach and clean by hand.

When it comes to providing homeowners with the best nanotechnology waterproofing solution in the market, Nano-G is your go-to expert.

It’s not enough to just use regular house paint on these exterior walls. By applying a proper waterproofing layer, dirt, dust and chrome can easily be cleaned by the rain. This is especially helpful with Nano-G Nanotechnology Waterproofing, our solution that creates a strong coating around your exterior walls that shields the surfaces of landed home from the environment.

5. Your swimming pool area is not safe from water damage, either!

Pools are a great feature to add to your home. They give family and visitors a fun activity to do on weekends, but they can also become a source of headache if not thoroughly maintained. It should be noted that it’s not only the inside of the swimming pool itself that needs to be waterproofed but also the surrounding swim deck. Not only is the swim deck constantly wet, but the swim deck is also at risk of deteriorating from the chemicals from the water too, creating cracks that reach the swimming pool underground. As you can imagine, this waterproofing failure goes unseen.

Nano-G Waterproofing Swimming Pool Issue

Prevention is better than renovation. Badly planned swimming pools are at risk of waterproofing failure. A good practice from homeowners is to thoroughly waterproof their swimming pool decks, tiles and drains with a waterproofing solution that lasts.

Luckily for you, our experts offer Nano-G Nanotechnology Waterproofing services anywhere in the home. Our powerful nanotechnology solution is suitable for use on most surfaces that come into contact with water often. After inspecting your premise, we help plan and apply the solution near swimming pool areas at risk of waterproofing failure or damage over time.

Why You Should Worry When You Slip & Fall

Prevention is better than hospitalisation. Don’t let a slippery floor be your biggest regret.

If you’re living with family you’re sure to have heard one or two stories about how an aunty or uncle had a slip and fall accidents at home. According to the 2018 Malaysian National Health and Morbidity Survey (NHMS), 15% of adults over the age of 60 had fallen at least once in a span of 12 months. One in two suffered injuries, while one in five were hospitalised. In more unfortunate circumstances, your distant relative’s accident might have left them for death.

Still, slip and fall accidents go largely underreported despite how common they are. The lucky can get away a few scrapes and bruises, but it’s not the same for everyone.

1. Your elderly parent or relative is more fragile than they’d like to admit.

As bodies age, the elderly become more vulnerable to broken bones or weakened muscles after a fall at home. Your elderly parent or relative might not feel comfortable reaching out to share about their growing pains, but these age-related issues are very real.

In a 2018 survey, it was concluded that women above 70 were more likely to be hospitalised due to any physical or mental impairments they might have. This study, of course, only tracked the nature of hospitalised falls. Many slip and fall accidents go largely unreported because of how common they are.

If your elderly loved one is going through a mental or physical change, it is important to accommodate your home to their needs.

What’s worse, some elderly women may not be able to physically help get up or recover from the fall. Back in June 2020, a 50-year-old woman slipped and fell INTO a squatting toilet. She had to endure an hour of struggling and pain before help arrived to take her out from the hole in the ground.

2. Your loved ones with special needs are more prone to fall injuries

Falls are a normal part of a child’s developmental stage, however, studies have also shown that children with a disability (be it physical or intellectual) are more prone to slip and fall accidents.

Nano-G At-Home Safety For Special Needs Kids and Adults

Slip and fall accidents are common amongst young children, and especially special needs kids. However, special needs kids are also at a higher risk of severe injuries.

With this in mind, caregivers have to take special care in ensuring the safety of their loved ones. Your child, student, or relative should have the same opportunities for being independent as much as other able-bodied children. For home, the best method is to change the environment around them to be safer.

3. Your pregnant loved ones are at a greater risk of slip and fall in their third trimester!

While a pregnant mother is busy creating and growing life in her own body, she is also trying to regain her balance as her pregnancy progresses.

Majority of falls happen in the third trimester, placing both the mother and her baby at greater risk. Look into ways you can keep home safe and accommodated for an expecting mom to keep them safe from accidents.

As a family with a pregnant member, you need to make sure that she’s able to take care of herself as she goes about her day to day. Many of Nano-G’s clients use Nano-G Nanotechnology Anti-Slip Floor Coating to prevent a slip and fall in their bathroom and soothe their worries as mothers.

Listen to what our mothers have to say about Nano-G Nanotechnology Anti-Slip Floor Coating!

As having been a pregnant mother, and now a mother of young children, Yunna Tan finds that Nano-G Anti-Slip Floor Coating helps her keep a peace of mind when she or her children use the toilet.

4. Slip and falls can happen anywhere- even at the workplace.

There seems to be no place safe from slip and fall accidents and oftentimes, the victim is usually a worker or staff member. Some of the most slippery places to work are at healthcare facilities and restaurants.

Nano-G Elderly Nursing Home Slip and Fall Risk

Nursing homes may see more spills and obstacles on the floor that place workers in danger of slip and fall injuries. It might not seem like a big deal to some, but these injuries can put a person out of work- maybe even damaging their bodies for a long time!

When it comes to keeping vulnerable loved ones safe, Nano-G Nanotechnology Anti-Slip Floor Coating is your best bet.

Is Your Condo or Apartment Facing Water Leakage Issues?

A water leakage complaint from a downstairs neighbour can come as a surprise. So it’s best to act fast to maintain the peace and solve the issue before it gets worse!

When living in a high-rise building that houses many units all at once, the time will come when you get notified about a persistent water leakage coming from your condo. For some, it may come as early as the first few months or a few years after moving into a house. Either way, your downstairs neighbour might not be too happy about the situation and it’s best to find a way to get your water leakage issue fixed!

Here are 3 quick solutions you can use to waterproof your apartment or condo.

1. PU injections for a quick bandaid fix- if your neighbour agrees to it, of course.

This conventional waterproofing method will have a contractor pumping in chemicals into the ceiling of the affected floor! As you wait for the solution to dry, expect it to leak and splatter from these cracks.

PU injections are a waterproofing method that drills a line of holes on the ceiling that will be filled up with an expanding Polyurethane foam. While it might not be a hacking method, it still requires drilling, repainting, and the use of a loud mix-and-pump motor.

Because the contractor needs to first find the problem area, they will have to look at the leaking ceiling in question. So you will have to coordinate with your downstairs neighbour to allow contractors into their home.

By the way, your neighbour should be reminded that this method might lead to a lot of fine dust and noise during the drilling process! Imagine this: your upstairs condo neighbour is probably very frustrated about the water leakage issue and just wants some peace. If you introduce a noisy, messy, and dirty procedure to their home, that they have to schedule by themselves- it could escalate the issue! It’s much better if you can waterproof your bathroom without troubling your neighbours.

2. Epoxy waterproofing for a thick, waterproofing layer- that changes the overall look of your bathroom floor’s surface.

Laying down epoxy waterproofing coatings takes an experienced hand and special safety equipment to make sure the layer is even and covers the floor thoroughly. As you can see, it will change the overall look of the floor below.

You might get recommendations from friends to let contractors use the epoxy waterproofing methods on your floors. This technique coats the entire floor from wall to wall into one big layer that usually has a design. Because of its wide coverage, it’s a popular technique used in low-cost homes, public toilets and even car park areas.

This waterproofing method, however, will change the whole look of your bathroom or toilet. Because of the way it is applied and dried, the coating is irreversible after application.

Not to mention, some service providers might choose to first sand your perfectly fine tiled floors to create a rough surface. Some solutions require a very specific profile that allows the epoxy to properly bind and stay on the floor. So, expect your expensive tiles to get thoroughly scratched and damaged!

Prevent Slip & Fall Accidents in Cloud Kitchens With Nano-G

Effective anti-slip solutions for co-cooking spaces

With an increased risk of running a loss during Malaysia’s MCO and EMCO periods, many F&B businesses have closed up shop because of low foot traffic to their physical restaurants or stores. However, a resilient few have taken on new ventures into Cloud Kitchens. Cloud Kitchens (also known as Ghost Kitchens to the less superstitious) are the way to go for F&B businesses looking to lower rental costs. A shared kitchen space with a set delivery partner allows teams to focus on cooking and scheduling deliveries. Therefore, you’re likely to see a kitchen shared between upscaling home businesses and franchises.

A kitchen is still a kitchen. And when teams of varying experiences with adequate F&B workplace safety share a space, you have to ensure a safety-guaranteed premise.

Cloud Kitchen owners and managers should take extra precautions when keeping the workplace safe from slip and fall accidents for their tenants. The main culprit of (sometimes near-fatal) slip injuries is a slippery surface. This is especially so when kitchens don’t lay down anti-slip mats or enforce to use of anti-slip rubber shoes.

Nano-G 5 Common Causes of Slip and Falls in a Kitchen

Slips happen when there’s too little friction between footwear and surfaces. Water, oil, and food can splash on the surface at any time creating a real hazard for workplace safety.

Your busy kitchens during rush hour mean chefs and cooks will be speeding through the workroom carrying objects. Ideally, cooks and chefs should not be zooming around carrying heavy objects. The speed makes a person not able to correct their balance, while heavy objects would obstruct their view entirely.

Nano-G Rush Hour is Every Kitchen’s Nightmare

During peak hours, like lunch time, many kitchen teams are forced to speed through the workplace while carrying heavy objects. Chef and cooks move and walk faster during the peak period. Slip and fall accidents can happen during this period if the floor is slippery, wet and oily.

Injuries from slips, trips and falls are the second most common type of issues kitchen staff face.

Unfortunately, workplace slip and fall accidents are so common that they go underreported by news portals in Malaysia. This leads to normalising these accidents when steps should be taken to keep kitchen staff safe from workplace injuries.

Oil spills, wet floors, stray fallen food, and a shift in balance is all it takes to send a cook backwards. Luckily, this team member did not accidentally hurt himself from holding or grabbing onto sharp or hot kitchen equipment.

Keep the floor safe to prevent accidents that result in serious workplace injuries.

We’re not talking about just some bumps and bruises when it comes to kitchen workplace injuries. An unlucky worker could end up grabbing a boiling pot, tipping over hot oil, or getting sliced by stray knives and other sharp utensils. Hence, the usage of anti-slip solution is an essential step needed to be taken by the owners of Cloud Kitchens.

If Cloud Kitchens don’t enforce proper workplace safety for ALL tenants, a series of unfortunate accidents are likely to happen on your premise. Accidents are not only damaging to your tenant’s team members, but also detrimental to workplace morale.

What Cloud Kitchens need is an effective, SIRIM-certified anti-slip solution that keeps workplaces safe and easy to clean.

You're More Likely To Get Struck By Lightning Than Slip On A Nano'g Treated Floor

We recommend that the best solution for a slippery kitchen floor is to coat a layer of Nano-G Nanotechnology Anti-Slip Floor Coating. Our solution effectively keeps the workplace safe by increasing the friction on the floors. The grainy texture gives all footwear types more grip when walking across the room- even if there’s been a spill! Not only that, but the anti-slip layer also has an antimicrobial feature that keeps bacteria or food debris from getting stuck on it in the first place. This makes it really easy to clean before and after shifts.

Already past the renovation stage? Nano-G experts use a dust-free, noise-free, and fast application process that doesn’t interfere with the workday. The anti-slip solution we use is also non-toxic and safe to be applied even when tenants are around in the cloud kitchens. Head down to the end of the article to learn how you can contact for further inquiries.

Make your Cloud Kitchens the safest shared co-cooking workplace with Nano-G Nanotechnology Anti-Slip Floor Coating Solution!

It never hurts to lay down extra safety features into your premise, especially when trust is placed by tenants to provide only the best-shared workspace for them. The whole concept of Cloud Kitchens is for teams to be focused solely on food prep and scheduling deliveries after all not about the woes of slip and fall injuries. As we move towards a more digitised world, more entrepreneurs are leaping forward in being part of the Cloud Kitchen ecosystem. You can only expect to see a need to stand out.

Be one of the top choices for small home businesses scaling up and franchisees exploring the opportunity by offering the best and safest facilities in the field.

Nano-G How to Determine Reliable Waterproofing Services

How Do I Know If a Waterproofing Solution Is Reliable & Effective?

Looking for a reliable waterproofing solutions provider can be incredibly difficult for home or business owners that aren’t familiar with the industry. Here are some tips on what to keep an eye out for when hiring.

It is not enough to just look into the type of waterproofing solution you need for your home, office, or building. Aside from price comparisons, you have to take into account the company’s reputation as well. In the past, you might rely on recommendations from family and friends to know the quality of work provided by service providers. Choosing a reliable waterproofing solution is crucial for long-term protection.

Instead of relying only on word-of-mouth recommendations, keep an eye out for reviews, awards, and certifications when researching for a good waterproofing contractor or service provider for your home.

1. Look into what past clients have to say about a company’s quality of service

Nano-G takes an extra step in documenting the feedback we receive from our clients on the work we do. We believe that the customer experience and innovative solutions come hand-in-hand when delivering a satisfaction-guaranteed waterproofing solution.

The most pressing matter a property owner, like you, should be worried about is the quality of service of a solution. Quality waterproofing rectification work should last long and come with professional on-site practices. To champion this, many companies will promise their solutions to last for years, or for their team to have the best on-site service. This may be in their non-toxic or fast 24-hour application time. To see if their claims are true, have a look into actual client feedback to get a better idea of a service provider’s quality of work.

With Nano-G, we don’t have to close our restaurant as they get work done within few days. I’m very satisfied with their amazing product and their efficiency. They also contacted me back for updates on the problem. I recommend this service to any restaurants that suffer from the same waterproofing issues.

Mr Jega, La Cocina Restaurant, Taipan, Selangor

I was introduced to Nano-G by a testimonial customer for their practical, high technology, and eco-friendly method of waterproofing. The service team were punctual and worked on time. Every service was professionally done. I would definitely recommend my friends and relatives having the same problem to try out Nano-G for an environmental-friendly solution.

Mdm Pauline Toh, Taman Tun Dr Ismail, Kuala Lumpur

2. Note down if official recognition was received for the specific waterproofing method they provide

Once you’ve settled for a reliable waterproofing solution of your choice, engage with a service provider that has received official recognition for the specific solution they use. This form of recognition is given by the peers that approve of the quality of the product used by a company’s on-site team. It lowers the risk of having to deal with work that does not reach industry standards.

Be wary of companies that offer a wide range of methods but hold no certifications for any of their solutions. Imagine, a company convinces you to spend hundreds or thousands on the service they provide, only to have their solution be of poor quality that just does not stand the test of time!

Nano-G is recognised by Malaysia’s NanoVerify group. They operate under the Ministry of Energy, Science, Technology, Environment and Climate Change (MESTECC) and SIRIM QAS International. As the gatekeepers and pioneers of the nanotechnology community, NanoVerify is the only designated certification programme to verify a company’s nanotechnology solution and service claims to match the standards in the industry. It is in their best interest that the quality of Nano-G’s products are representative of the field to push for the integration of nanotechnology in the nation’s everyday life.

We should also mention that Nano-G Nanotechnology Waterproofing solution is manufactured using a special Greek Technology. It’s a revolutionary nanotechnology solution that has been quality checked by trusted quality assurance boards in Greece and Beijing.

3. Make sure your service provider is using safe and sustainable solutions

Aside from industry-specific recognition, you can look into the sustainability of how their businesses are carried out. Conventional waterproofing materials use harsh and strong-smelling chemicals that can be harmful when inhaled during and even after application. Contractors and workers handling these materials have to follow internationally recommended protocols when applying the materials to avoid causing harm to themselves, the property, and the people that live on the premises.

Nano-G Uses Eco-friendly and Sustainable Waterproofing Solutions

To make sure our company is on the right track of delivering quality services, we use a special nanotechnology solution that has received international recognition from the most stringent environmental certification boards around the world.

Nano-G Nanotechnology Waterproofing Solution is Certified and Recognised

United Kingdom Accreditation System (UKAS) is an internationally-acclaimed certification awarded only to manufacturers, businesses, or service providers that maintain their competence, and conformity to the quality assessments they provide.

Lloyd’s Register ISO9001 is a global certification awarded to businesses that continue to improve and maintain their practices to meet the expectations of their customers and stakeholders. That means all our experts, administrators, consultants, and management team comply with a strict ISO when conducting themselves.

ISO14001 is awarded to businesses who use environmentally friendly, low in Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) solutions that don’t harm the environment during our manufacturing, or application stage. This also indicates that the solution is non-toxic and safe for commercial use in homes, offices, or businesses.

The Singapore Green Label Scheme holds the most stringent environmental standards in the market, and Nano-G Nanotechnology Waterproofing has gained their approval with our solution and on-site servicing.

4. Official Recommendation from respected local authorities

The highest honour any company can receive is an official recommendation by the local ministry that is not part of our industry. These institutions serve almost like a formal representation of all the clients we receive, and it is no easy feat to get institutional support.

With the reputation of our workmanship and internationally-acclaimed nanotechnology waterproofing solution, Nano-G is the appointed waterproofing company by the Ministry of Health Malaysia to serve all government hospitals. Our clean, hassle-free, and noise-free on-site services do not interrupt the day-to-day activities of medical staff members and patients in hospitals. We’ve provided our innovative and reliable waterproofing solution to major hospitals around Malaysia and continue to do so.

Browse through our Past Projects to see the hospitals that use Nano-G Nanotechnology Waterproofing!

Nano-G Past Projects

In this information age, it’s important for consumers to easily conduct their own research on the service providers they wish to engage with.

We’ve listed five criteria to look for when hiring a service, be sure to keep them in mind when making your comparisons between companies. Always remember that most service providers will only highlight the pros of their solutions. The best way to gauge if their services are reliable and effective is by looking into the types of certifications or recommendations they have received, especially for reliable waterproofing solution.

That being said, it doesn’t hurt to have a chat with a customer service representative as well! With respect to our customer’s enquiries, we in Nano-G try our best to be as transparent and open as we can to our customer enquiries- without revealing our trade secrets, of course.

3. Noise-free, lets you go about your day at ease.

Because our solution doesn’t hack, drill, or knock on your floors to work, our solution doesn’t create any noise disturbances that will disrupt your daily routine. In fact, this reason is why many hospitals or care centres like to engage with our services in the first place.

Since our business is ongoing, if there’s hacking and dust, our whole centre will not be able to operate… After engaging with Nano-G’s services, I realised their staff were very fast and also very professional and did not affect the mother’s or baby’s rest.

Mr Edward, Woyo Confinement Centre

4. An eco-friendly, non-toxic solution that doesn’t require homeowners to leave the house during the application process.

Nano-G Provides an Eco-friendly and Sustainable Water Proofing Solutions

Nano-G Nanotechnology Waterproofing solution is SGLS-approved to be a non-toxic and sustainable alternative for homes. SGLS stands for the Singaporean Green Labelling Scheme, Singapore’s leading certification board that holds the region’s most stringent environmental standards in the market.

On top of being dust-free, our solution is a certified eco-friendly solution that has been approved by the Singaporean Green Labeling Scheme (SGLS). The Singaporean certification has our region’s most stringent rules when it comes to labelling a solution as environmentally conscious and sustainable. This certification also means that homeowners don’t have to vacate the home during the application process because the solution itself doesn’t release harmful fumes during the drying process.

5. A water-repellent, hydrophobic solution that seals up cracks, preventing further waterproofing failure and making floors easier to clean in condos in the long run.

Our Nano-G Nanotechnology Waterproofing solution provides a protective layer that keeps water from being able to seep into a surface’s cracks or pores. This ultimately prevents water from seeping through, causing water leakage issues to persist.

We tackle water leakage issues from the source. Many times, waterproofing in condos and apartments, especially for bathrooms or tiled areas has issues with grouts. They cause issues for homeowners because of cracks that form from wear-and-tear over time. Unfortunately, these cracks and the porous surfaces are where bacteria and mould would grow.

Our nanotechnology waterproofing solution is able to penetrate into the thinnest cracks and smallest pores found in your grout’s surfaces. Basically, our solution seals the holes and cracks to prevent water from seeping through. At the same time, our solution will also prevent bacteria and mould from clinging to your grouts.

In the long run, cleaning your floors will require less scrubbing and the use of harsh cleaning agents to get rid of microbial buildup.

Thanks to the way our solution works, we were able to serve many government hospitals.

3 Anti Slip Solutions for Your Home, Office, or Business

Looking to help your loved ones stay safe from slip and falls at home? Here are some of the common treatments and solutions currently found in the market.

Keeping accidents to a minimum at home is trickier than you think. You could lay down a mat near toilet entrances, but that old school and ineffective method can cause slip and fall accidents once the floor beneath becomes wet or mouldy. You might also be considering other external anti-slip methods you can use in your home, like installing handrails, sticking anti-slip tape, or putting out anti-slip slippers. But ultimately, these methods do not exactly deal with the cause of most slip and falls: a slippery floor!

To deal with a slippery floor directly, some property or homeowners use chemical treatments, coatings, and solutions on their floors. However, choosing the right solutions or treatment can be tricky. So, our team compiled a quick breakdown of what to look out for when you stumble on common anti-slip solutions during your Google searches that you can use in your home, office and even business space.

Here is our in-depth explanation of the common solutions currently out in the market to tackle a slippery floor problem.

1. Epoxy flakes coatings for tiled bathroom or toilet floors.

This anti-slip method will drastically change the way your tilework looks, replacing it with a different design all together. Also, take note that the grout lines of your tiles will show through your new epoxy flakes coating surface.

Epoxy flakes coating create textured surfaces on tiled or concrete floors with epoxy chemicals and coloured flakes. While a no-hack method, it is not a noise-free and non-toxic solution. Most service providers will need to first grind the floor’s surface in order to create the texture needed to hold the epoxy chemicals when poured on. This means your perfectly good tiled floors will have to be scratched in order to be properly prepared for applications.

This invasive and irreversible process means there is no turning back if issues should arise during or after application. And still, grout lines from your original tile surface will still show through once the application has been dried.

Unfortunately, you will also have to endure harmful epoxy chemical fumes in the air during the application process, if you choose to oversee on-site operations. Homeowners should take note that resin material is known to cause respiratory issues as well as skin and eye irritation. It’s best if you have family members stay someplace else while the solution is being applied and dried. Because if you’re unlucky, exposure to the chemical can trigger asthma and other allergic reactions.

In 2015, a study of epoxy resin workers found that they were more likely to report having respiratory issues as compared to their colleagues who weren’t as frequently exposed to the material. This study also noted that they were more likely to report COUGHING or WHEEZING, at a higher frequency than unexposed colleagues that were also smokers!

2. “Anti-Skid” 15-minute leave-on acid-etching sprays.

While browsing through social media, you are likely to have come across ads about 15-minute “Anti-Skid” sprays that are able to anti-slip your home tiles almost as soon as the treatment touches the surface. At glance, this seems like a cheap and simple DIY solution. All you need to do is spray, wait, and rinse. As long as you closely follow the instructions on the label, you should be able to get the anti-slip surface you want.

In the industry, we call this treatment “acid etching sprays”. They work by using acidic solutions that turn surfaces rough and full of pores. While they may give you instantaneous results, you’ll have to make sure you can maintain the cleanliness of these said surfaces. If you’re the type to leave bathroom cleaning to when you absolutely need to clean, the holes created are likely to hide bacteria and mould in their smallest of pores. Over time, these small colonies will grow and form a slimy film on top of your tile surfaces. What’s worse, this new bacterial or fungal film would be deeply embedded into the networks found within the pores, making them almost impossible to clean.

Anti-Skid sprays are effective because they use acid to etch tile or concrete surfaces. If you choose to use this method, be sure to always keep your floors clean from any bacteria, fungi or spores! Microbial colonies form quick and can make the floor more slippery than before.

3. Nano-G Nanotechnology Anti-Slip Floor Coating, the grainy-textured, non-toxic & glossy solution suitable for any hard floor surfaces.

Instead of risking the health of your property, your loved ones, and yourself, we highly recommend you use Nano-G Nanotechnology Anti-Slip Floor Coating. Our non-toxic, non-acid etching and no-hacking solution is safe to be applied in homes, offices, restaurants, and businesses. Our onsite service requires only for our experts to thoroughly clean your floors before applying our SIRIM-certified anti-slip solution.

SIRIM’s Slip Potential test (known as the Pendulum Test) found that a surface treated with Nano-G Nanotechnology Anti Slip Floor Coating has less than a one in a million chance of causing a slip and fall accident! More specifically, our solution scored 93PTV in dry conditions, and 56PTV in wet conditions.

We use a less damaging application process that makes little to no changes to your existing tile, flat surface, or sandstone surface which make. Our no-hacking, no-grinding anti-slip solution gives hard surfaces a grainy and glossy surface, enhancing the appearance of your home tiles. What’s more, our onsite operations only need about 24-48 hours to be complete. For a more personalised estimation, contact our team through our communication channels below!

When it comes to anti-slip solutions, we want home, office and business owners to know exactly what they’re getting into.

Oftentimes, what you see advertised online might not be what you’ll actually experience during your on-site application. Be wary of services that just seem too good to be true and have no certifications to their solutions or customer testimonials to back up their claims.

Nano-G’s completion time might vary according to the surface area our solution has to cover. Smaller, less humid areas are able to dry within 24 hours after project completion, but larger outdoor areas might take 48 hours or more. Please discuss with the supervisor on the day of your appointment to get a more accurate estimation of when your anti-slip floor coating will be completely dry to use.

Nano-G Hacking or No Hacking Waterproofing Solutions

Should I Use a Hacking or No-Hacking Waterproofing Method for Water Leaking Issues?

Looking for a quick fix to your waterproofing issues but a little confused on how different methods may benefit your home, business, or office? Here is a simple explainer on hacking or no-hacking waterproofing solutions.

As a property owner, looking for waterproofing fixes can be quite stressful! You might be wondering “How many off days do I have to sacrifice for a full renovation of my leaking bathroom?”, “If I take on a no-hacking service, will it be just as effective?”, or “Which is the best solution for my home, office, or business, really?”

First and foremost, what is the difference between Hacking and No-Hacking waterproofing?

Hacking waterproofing requires the contractor to hammer, or knock at your flooring to fix water leakage issues. The contractor will usually be required to hack out your tiles and failed waterproofing membranes to reapply a new waterproofing solution. Once the solution is fully dried, a new concrete screed is to be applied before the new tiles are laid down on top of it. While hacking methods really do help renew your property’s structural waterproofing, this is a very noisy and dusty process!

Perfectly fine tiles have to be cracked and scraped off your surfaces during the hacking process. If you aren’t willing to let your nice bathroom tiles go to waste, hacking waterproofing should be your last resort!

Many homeowners realise too late that their homes remain dusty even after a thorough cleaning. On top of the mess, you may not be able to actually use your bathroom, balcony, or kitchen during the days or weeks it takes for the solutions to completely dry. That is why we only recommend hacking methods as the last resort when no-hacking methods have failed. Discomfort aside, the micro-dust particles in the air and on surfaces are quite hazardous for loved ones with asthma or other respiratory issues.

Hacking waterproofing is a form of renovation work that requires your contractor to knock open your flooring to solve issues. Oftentimes, this method leaves the home in a big dusty mess that gets into hard-to-reach corners, bedding materials, clothes, and more.

On the other hand, no-hacking waterproofing methods are less invasive. One example of an effective no-hacking method is Nano-G Nanotechnology Waterproofing. Our solution deals directly with hairline cracks that cause water seepage issues in your bathroom, kitchen, balcony, or even car porch. We use an innovative nanotechnology waterproofing solution that penetrates deep into surfaces, providing grouts and flat roofs hydrophobic protection that prevents water from getting absorbed into the concrete. The Greek technology we use to create our solution has been certified by the world’s most stringent environmental standards from the ISO and the Singapore Green Labeling Scheme. To add to that, we are appointed by the Ministry of Health (MOH) as the go-to experts in waterproofing maintenance and rectification for government hospitals nationwide.

Nano-G Hacking And No Hacking Waterproofing Solution Comparison

Are no-hacking waterproofing methods reliable? Here are some of our past articles that look into the different conventional no-hacking waterproofing currently available in the market.

Nano-G What You Need To Know About Rubber Waterproofing Paint

We recommend homeowners only resort to hacking waterproofing when they plan on renovating their entire bathroom, balcony, or kitchen floor. This is especially the case for older buildings, as these ageing structures may not be able to handle the force caused during operations.

Figuring out what’s really causing your water leak is the first step to determining if you should choose a hacking or no-hacking method. Read up on how to tell the difference between a broken pipe or a hairline crack!

Nano-G How To Deal With Water Leaks At Home

Our clients have remarked that Nano-G Nanotechnology Waterproofing has helped persistent water leakage issues go away for good!

Water leakage problem occurred in my bathroom a few years ago. Before Nano-G, I initiated 4 different other services but saw no good results. Nano-G remains the only solution to this problem.
Dato Azmi from Shah Alam

We should mention that we are not disregarding conventional hacking waterproofing methods. Some homes with especially bad cases of waterproofing failure should get the proper treatments needed to solve the issues once and for all. In cases where water leakages are caused by hairline cracks, however, one should consider using Nano-G Nanotechnology Waterproofing. We ensure a hassle-free, dust-free, and no-noise on-site procedure with a timely application drying time.

Nano-G Nanotechnology Waterproofing’s track record of delivering an effective final solution for all our clients reflects how good our services are at fixing water leakages, as well as preventing them altogether.

Certified as One of The Most Effective Anti-Slip Solutions by SIRIM

Nano-G Nanotechnology Anti-Slip Floor Coating transforms surfaces to only have less than 1 in a million chance of causing slip and fall accidents even when wet!

We’re proud to announce that our Nano-G Nanotechnology Anti-Slip Floor Coating has been certified by SIRIM as one of the most effective anti-slip solution in Malaysia. They’ve tallied our Pendulum Test Values to be at 93 PTV for dry areas, and 56 PTV for wet areas!

We’re glad to be providing SIRIM Certified anti-slip solution to all our clients, saving many loved ones from avoidable accidents.

What is a Pendulum Test?

A Pendulum Test is a type of quality assurance method specifically designed to test how slippery a surface is by using a swinging pendulum. This pendulum mimics how the heel of a foot (as represented with a rubber slider) would slip on a surface when it is wet or dry, such as when you are running, walking, or even just standing.

What the pendulum test measures is the Slip Potential of a surface, using a scale that shows where the ‘foot’ stops swinging. Ideally, the surface being tested on would create enough resistance or friction for the foot, letting it swing and stop closer to the ground. The quality assurance expert will then make and record a few swings before finding the average to measure the Pendulum Test Value (PTV) of a surface that would fall within the ranges of High, Moderate, and Low Slip Potentials.

The Pendulum Test tries to mimic how the heel of the foot would slip after coming into contact with a slippery surface.

The average result from the pendulum test indicates how likely a person would slip on a surface.

The PTV listed here measures the slip potential of surfaces that receive foot traffic for people wearing shoes. A PTV higher than 36 indicates that the solution is especially effective for wet area conditions.

” Based on our results, Nano-G Nanotechnology Anti-Slip Floor Coating falls in the PTV of 36+ range, meaning our solution is effective enough in guarantee less than a 1 in a million chance of a slip and fall accident at home! “
Paul Sia, Nano-G Managing Director.

Why is the Pendulum Test important?

It’s a matter of transparency and having a trusted government body assess how our claims match up to the performance of our product! While we’re confident about how effective our solution is at saving lives, having a big institution prove and back us up to being the best slip-resistant formula for floors helps let you, our customers, know that you can trust us.

What’s more, the Pendulum Test is a well-respected and accurate measurement of slip resistance. It has a long history in the United Kingdom’s flooring industry as part of its slip resistance tests that specifically looks into the quality of a tile (or in this case, a treated tile)’s friction. It is not easy to get as high of a score(s) that our solution has! However, we should mention that our solution is only a preventative measure to be put on slippery surfaces.

Also, Nano-G Nanotechnology Anti-Slip Floor Coating isn’t just good for providing an excellent grainy-textured surface to your floor. Our solution also enhances the look of your floors, can be applied on most surfaces, and is able to keep your tiles easy to clean! We have a whole article on what makes Nano-G Nanotechnology Anti-Slip Floor Coating great, so here are 5 Reasons Why You Should Choose Nano-G Anti-Slip Floor Coating.

Epoxy Waterproofing VS Nanotechnology Waterproofing

Everything You Need to Know about Epoxy Coating Waterproofing and ‘No-Hacking’ Waterproofing Solutions

Are No-Hacking Required Waterproofing Solutions Reliable?

Looking for a way to fix a waterproofing issue and came across “no-hack solutions”? While we pride our nanotechnology waterproofing service to have the best satisfaction guaranteed, we can’t say it’s the same for all no-hack solutions in the market. We applaud the hard work of our fellow experts, but there are still many amateurs in the field that try to promise “cheaper” options. As industry experts, we feel like it’s important to inform you on what you’re in for when you come across epoxy coating waterproofing for your floors.

*Nano-G’s completion time might vary according to the surface area our solution has to cover. Smaller, less humid areas are able to dry within 24 hours after project completion, but larger outdoor areas might take 48 hours or more. Please discuss with the supervisor on the day of your appointment to get a more accurate estimation of when your anti-slip floor coating will be completely dry to use.

How do Epoxy floor coatings for waterproofing work?

Epoxy Waterproofing is a waterproofing method that spreads Epoxy chemicals on the floor in a thick liquid state before getting hardened. These Epoxy chemicals include a resin material and a hardener that will then be blow-torched to fuse and create a new air-tight surface that sits on top of the area you want to be waterproofed.

Here are some things you need to know about Epoxy Coating Waterproofing.

1. Emits hazardous and strong smells during and after application.

Once the Epoxy resin and hardener have been mixed and poured on to the floor as a suitable and even layer, the contractor will then proceed to the “curing” phase of the operation. This is where a blowtorch or a heat gun activates and hardens the liquid Epoxy chemicals. Understandably, this causes harmful smells to emit from the working area.

Most contractors are knowledgeable enough to wear proper protective gear while doing their work- but the question is, will you or an at-risk loved one be able to handle the fumes?

2. Epoxy Floor Coatings have a long drying time.

Another factor you have to take into account is how long it would take for the epoxy floor coating to dry. In our experience, the material could take 3-7 days- sometimes even longer to cure because of numerous factors. We should mention at this point that, conventionally, epoxy is reserved for wide surface areas that aren’t visited often. In many cold countries, they are often used in basements.

Epoxy waterproofing requires contractors to pour out and mix Epoxy chemicals with hardeners on the spot.

That’s why we don’t recommend this solution to be done in places you use often, if you don’t have an alternative room for it.

Nano-G Nanotechnology Waterproofing, on the other hand, is designed to be used in both frequently used or less-visited places. Because our solution only needs one thin layer to work. It usually takes between 24 to 48 hours to dry, depending on how big the surface area is.

3. Some Epoxy floor coatings have a slippery smooth surface.

More specifically, oil-based resin makes things slippery. Epoxy, as a coating, comes in many forms to serve the different needs of different surface areas. This could range from giving an object a greasy finish to further prevent air from corroding metal surfaces, to providing an enhancing varnishing layer to finish off an artwork. Both could result in a sleek and slippery surface that isn’t the best to walk on if you have weak knees and balancing issues!

epoxy waterproofing have a slippery smooth surface

When walking on epoxy floors, be mindful of your balance.

For the most part, Nano-G Nanotechnology Waterproofing only affects the crack and a little of the areas around it. Our versatile solution is able to waterproof cracks found in grouts, to all the small cracks found in the concrete slabs of flat roofs. Instead of focusing on coming up with a thick additional layer to the floor, our solution penetrates deep into the cracks and effectively plugs up all of the holes.

4. Some Epoxy dries into a hard and brittle material that scratches easily, depending on the type of solution provided.

There are various epoxy waterproofing coating solutions available that you might not be informed about by your contractors. While it’s best to do your research before getting the help of a contractor on your premise, sometimes amateur contractors might mark up the price of their service for a cheaply made solution that yellows or debonds easily over time. And sometimes, they don’t use the most advanced version of the product that delivers the quality you need to completely stop your water leakage issues.

Nano-G Nanotechnology Waterproofing is our in-house brand of waterproofing solution that our experts have worked on for years. They are able to more effectively handle any pressure, scrubbing, or searching that may occur when you do your routine cleaning of the toilet, balcony, or flat roof area. In fact, heavy scrubbing isn’t even necessary! Our solution prevents microbes, fungus, or dirt from clinging onto your grouts when it is time to clean.

5. Debonding, cracks, or bubbling might occur if not properly installed.

It goes without saying that an Epoxy floor coating would require a thorough cleaning and drying of the area before any application of the resin materials. Any water left on the surface or in existing hairline cracks will only get trapped when it tries to evaporate.

bubbling might occur if not properly installed on epoxy waterproofing

Bubbling in Epoxy work a few days after the coating has ‘dried’.

What’s worse is that you may not actually see the side effects of poor waterproofing workmanship until much later, when an underlying water leakage issue has built up underneath your Epoxy floor coating or when cracks and bubbles have started to form.

Instead of creating a separate thick layer that sits on top of your existing tiles or concrete flat roof, our Nano-G Nanotechnology Waterproofing solution actually penetrates deep into all hairline cracks that the naked eye can’t see. This creates a more air tight and secure layer that keeps water vapour from damaging the surface or the concrete slab below.

But is your clinic safe to receive these patients? Hospitals, clinics, and old folks homes alike all experience slip and falls due to spills or just plain misfortune. More often than not, these accidents tend to happen in toilets and bathrooms! While the elderly could just use the disability toilets, handrails are not always able to keep them safe, especially when the problem is a slippery floor. Hence, this highlights the importance of applying anti-slip solution in healthcare facilities such as hospital, clinics and even old folks home.

Nano-G Anti-slip Solution For Healthcare Workers And The Elderly Infographic

What is an anti-slip floor coating?

An anti-slip floor coating is a layer of grainy or textured material applied onto an existing floor surface. The material used is usually made up of gloss, resin, or acrylic that create small beads that give your feet the added grip you need to walk safely with. They are best applied on surfaces that are prone to slip and fall accidents, such as in the toilet areas.

Nano-G Nanotechnology Anti-Slip Floor Coating is an example of an effective water-based anti-slip solution that keeps your hospital floor steady even when wet! This is because of the hydrophobic feature it has that keeps water from affecting the surface you walk on.

5 Ways Your Swimming Pool is Safer with Nano-G Nanotechnology Anti-Slip Solution

Swimming pool areas get really slippery and slimy, making them a hazard to the young and old- but it doesn’t have to be that way.

According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), accidents around the pool is one of the leading causes of deaths per year. What makes the swimming pool area so dangerous is that a person could fall forward, exposing his or her head, face, neck, and spine to harsh impact on the floor. If they’re unlucky, the victim might fall into the pool and not be able to swim out. In 2014, WHO found that around 372 000 people die from drowning every year, and noticed that over half of these victims are below 25 years old. And even if an accident around the pool doesn’t lead to death, both children and adults can still slip, fall, and experience major injuries or broken bones!

Unfortunately, many potentially fatal slip and fall accidents go unreported as victims and the people around them brush it off as clumsiness but we fail to realise that these areas need to be thoroughly safety-checked! If not, well, it would result in accidents that could’ve been prevented at the surface level. Back in 2018, 500 out of 700 reported cases of drowning in Malaysia were children under 18 years old!

It’s time to give your swimming pool areas the added protection it needs to prevent slip and falls from happening in the first place. We highly recommend business owners or residents with swimming pools to apply Nano-G Nanotechnology Anti-slip Floor Coating before a mishap happens.

You might want to check out our previous articles where we reviewed the most common anti-slip solutions in the market and Nano-G Nanotechnology Anti-slip Solutions.

1. Nano-G Nanotechnology Anti-Slip Floor Coating adds a grainy texture to your swimming pool surfaces.

Our solution is able to make pools safer by just adding a grainy texture to your swim deck’s surface. That means you don’t have to remove your existing tiles or hack at your deck to get the anti-slip protection you need! This grainy texture from Nano-G Nanotechnology Anti-Slip Floor Coating gives bare feet the grip and friction it needs-without being too rough to wet skin.

Our gentle texture helps little ones play and have fun without hurting their sensitive feet.

Therefore, this feature makes the solution especially effective for areas that get wet most of the time. Such as in shower room areas, walkways, swimming pool borders, locker rooms, and restrooms areas.

2. It’s suitable for both smooth ceramic and rough stone-textured surfaces.

Here’s an observation: just because you have a stone-textured surface, doesn’t mean it won’t get slippery. Our waterpark clients, such as Gamuda Garden Water Theme Park, have requested for their sandstone floors to have our anti-slip solution as an added prevention against slip-and-fall accidents.

Still, the texture needed on smooth ceramic tiles is not the same as the texture needed on rough sandstone surfaces. That’s why our experts are here to guide our clients to choose between our 100 and 500 grain texture during our consultations.

The Nano-G Nanotechnology Anti-Slip Floor Coating Grip 100 is most suitable for smooth surfaces- such as ceramic, porcelain, and mosaic tiles. Grip 500 is reserved for rougher surfaces, such as sandstone, cement, and brick textures.

3. Our solution is non-toxic and water-based.

Nano-G Nanotechnology Anti-Slip Floor Coating is the more preferred way to anti-slip swimming pool areas because it doesn’t require any added chemicals or use chemical etching to stick onto your surfaces. In fact, our solution is water-based and safe enough that our clients can be around while we coat their tiles! This also means that no harmful fumes will be released during drying time.

As you can see from this during-and-after slider, there wouldn’t be any changes to your swimming pool tiles once Nano-G Nanotechnology Anti-Slip Floor Coating is applied. You don’t even have to worry about our solution getting into your pool water, as it is non-toxic when wet or dry.

4. Our solution is long lasting and effective that it’s resistant to sun damage, peeling, and scratches.

Nano-G Nanotechnology Anti-Slip Floor Coating is the long-lasting surface protection you need that doesn’t wear down easily. We really only apply a thin layer to create the desired texture that doesn’t get weaker against chemicals found in the pool water or in pool cleaning products.

Look at that, you can even run a coin across the surface and it wouldn’t affect its surface!

Our solution is also able to be resistant to the test of time! Sun and heat don’t cause the protective layer to crack, or peel. Rocks, coins, or dust also don’t scratch or damage your glossy new surfaces.

5. Nano-G Nanotechnology Anti-Slip Floor Coating can prevent slimy and algae-filled swim decks!

Despite the chlorine in pool water- life still finds a way on the microscopic level. Many home and business owners that worked with us in the past found that the most dangerous thing about keeping pools is that the surroundings and wet spots are prone to microbial growth. If you forget to do routine maintenance of your swimming pool area, you’re likely to experience the deck feeling a little slimier than usual! It’s especially common in humid and closed spaces- such as indoor or shaded pools.

Nano-G Nanotechnology Anti-Slip Floor Coating can be used swimming pool tiles too. We recommend having a layer at the staircase area to prevent swimmers from slipping while entering- and possibly hitting a sharp edge in the process!

Nano-G Nanotechnology Anti-Slip Floor Coating’s hydrophobic feature can keep the swimming pool area cleaner for longer by making maintenance easier. Our solution prevents tiles, grouts, and textured surfaces from holding on to mould and bacteria. This makes them easier to wash and wipe off, without leaving residues or water droplets behind when you wipe or sweep away access water.

Our services help keep swimming pools safe for both adults and children!

I provide swim classes for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers. So, the tiles were a little bit slippery and that causes a risk of people falling, so that’s why we decided to look into an anti-slip solution. The tiles are definitely less slippery because it (now) has some beads that made the surface rougher.”
Ms Joanne, Aquabubs Swim School

Nano-G Nanotechnology Anti-Slip Floor Coating has helped many homeowners, swim centres, and waterparks keep their premises safe for loved ones and visitors alike.

Rubber Waterproofing Paint VS Nanotechnology Waterproofing

Read This Before Using Rubber Waterproofing Paint

What is this paint-on method, and how does it compare to Nano-G Nanotechnology Waterproofing?

Having a persistent water leakage problem on your flat roof can be very stressful when you don’t know anyone to help you fix them. It doesn’t help that in this age of choice, you’re flooded with so many waterproofing options in the market. If you’ve stumbled on this article, you must be curious about what rubber waterproofing is, and if it’s suitable for your home. Rubber waterproofing paint, also known as elastomeric waterproofing paint, is made of liquified oil, latex, or rubber to be applied on a surface as a spray, or paint. For more structure, a fibre texture layer is added between paint layers to double down on its waterproofing qualities.

At its core, this paint-on method seems fairly straight forward – you only need the rubber paint and a brush! It is a budget choice for waterproofing work, but budget choices often come at a cost.

1. Poor workmanship leads to rubber paint peeling and bubbling over time.

A quality job well done by a contractor is not just by popping open a liquified rubber paint tin, dipping in a brush, and painting absentmindedly. It takes a level of clear understanding of the material to pull it off. This can range from how diluted the liquid rubber should be when applied on the surface, and how many layers does it take to give your surfaces the waterproof seal it needs to prevent water from seeping through. If the rubber material is too little or painted on unevenly, your new rubber surface will start to peel or bubble after a year. Some companies have opted to have a layer of PU coating on the surface after applying the rubber paint to more securely prevent leaks.

That’s why it’s so important for your contractors to be experienced in surface area prep for both outdoor or indoor settings. This ranges from predicting how the weather might affect the outdoor work area, to how to deal with hidden moisture in concrete. Not only that, the surface must be clear of dust and debris. Bad preparation can lead to vapour build up under the rubber waterproofing layer and clumpy paint application.

We guarantee that Nano-G’s on-site waterproofing team is properly trained with the right way of applying our nanotechnology waterproofing solution. Instead of blindly guessing if the surface is ready to be treated we follow a strict protocol when doing on-site work to ensure our solution is applied in the most effective way.

2. Rubber waterproofing paint will not seep into hairline cracks.

Rubber waterproofing paint is able to cover large surfaces but they don’t actually seep into hairline cracks. While the consistency of rubber paint varies according to each service provider, at its core, the paint is very thick. You could have extra support from an additional textured fibre layer, but it’s not as effective as plugging up the problem areas. So, they aren’t a good replacement for other conventional methods.

In our past articles, we’ve looked into how other waterproofing methods work and what to expect when their contractors enter your home.

Instead of just being a separate layer sitting on top of surfaces, Nano-G Nanotechnology Waterproofing is a solution that seeps deep into hairline cracks to tackle water leakage problems at the nanoscale. In our past projects, our solution has been effective on indoor and outdoor grouts of bathrooms or balconies, and flat roofs.

3. Rubber waterproofing paint has a long curing time to completely dry during humid weather.

Another thing homeowners have to take into account is that rubber waterproofing takes quite some time to solidify into a hard protective layer. It’s advisable (and a common practice) for contractors to build the thickness of the material through at least 3 layers of paint. Monitoring the drying of rubber paint can get quite tedious with Malaysia’s weather, given that a sunny hot afternoon can turn into a thunderstorm at any given moment.

What’s more, basic rubber waterproofing paint releases a very obvious smell during and even after dry time. While paint used by different contractors vary according to the company they work under, it’s best to prepare yourself for a few hours- even days- of breathing in paint fumes.

We can’t deny that any on-site operation will create smells that interfere with your day. Still, we can guarantee that our operation wouldn’t release harmful and toxic fumes that put your loved ones at risk if inhaled. So, your family can still be in the house while Nano-G Nanotechnology Waterproofing is being applied!

To get a rough estimate of how long our solution would dry in your home, it’s best for you to talk with our customer service team or the Nano-G Waterproofing Expert during your FREE first inspection! You can find our contact details at the bottom of this article.

4. It’s difficult to correct application mistakes.

Unfortunately, sometimes mistakes happen during the paint application process that leads to clumping, bubbling, or peeling. It’s especially a pain to deal with when it comes to higher grade paints. As it’s designed to really stay solid on surfaces, this means that it may take some hacking or chemical treatments to remove. In fact, rubber coatings are seen as one of the most difficult to remove coating in the industry. This means your rubberised surface will have to go through a costly hacking and grinding , or even water blasting service to effectively remove and reapply a new waterproofing layer.

We’re proud to say that Nano-G Waterproofing Experts carry their on-site work in a well-disciplined and professional manner to keep mistakes at a minimum. However, in the event that mistakes do happen, it wouldn’t require a noisy or chemical-heavy process to effectively remove.

Nanotechnology Waterproofing is safe and chemical-free

Still, the decision you make for the most suitable waterproofing method to fix your water leakage in your home, business, or commercial building is up to you. While we do recognise that every company has their own in-house brand of rubber waterproofing paint, they may share some of the shortcomings as listed in this article. Therefore, it’s important for you to be prepared when problems do arise after your service.

Alternatively, Nano-G delivers a satisfaction and money-back guaranteed service with our nanotechnology waterproofing solution.

Our knowledge on conventional methods is not just based on our years of experience in the industry, it’s also based on what our clients have experienced before coming to us as the last resort when other methods have failed.

5 Reasons Why You Should Choose Nano-G Nanotechnology Anti-Slip Floor Coating

The most convenient anti-slip solution in the market.

Looking for a good quality anti-slip floor coating solution? You’ve probably seen ads on websites or your social media for conventional anti-slip methods that seem too good to be true. However, Nano-G’s Nanotechnology Anti-Slip Floor Coating remains as the most hassle-free and effective solution to your slippery floor problems.

We’ve extensively covered why you really should get your slippery floor problems fixed in our previous articles. Have a look to learn about why we do what we do.

With the number of accidents that happen year after year, we’ve decided to share a special solution to the problem with home and business owners alike to keep vulnerable groups safe in their own premises.

Here are 5 reasons why Nano-G Anti-Slip Floor Coating is the solution for you.

1. Nano-G Nanotechnology Anti-Slip Floor Coating doesn’t change the look of your existing tiles.

Our solution doesn’t require hacking or retiling to fix slippery floor problems. Instead, we work with the surface itself. Our water-based solution is able to provide an anti-slip layer using a non-acid etching method that doesn’t damage the floor in any way. Instead, it creates a textured and glossy surface on the floor that works by providing your feet with the friction it needs to stay stable while walking across the room!

2. Nano-G Nanotechnology Anti-Slip Floor Coating is applicable on most surfaces.

Another reason why you should get Nano-G’s anti-slip experts to work on your floors is that our solution is suitable for a wide range of surfaces. That means the product works on shiny or glossy tiles, natural or artificial wood decking, sandstone walkways, clay flooring, metal decks, concrete surfaces, and granite or marble surfaces.

Nano-G Anti Slip Floor Coating is applicable on most surfaces

Nano-G Nanotechnology Anti-Slip Floor Coating is applicable to most surfaces found in residential or commercial buildings.

Not only that, the glossy effect of our solution is able to help enhance the look of your tiles, especially for older homes. This means that your faded floors can be given a second life in looking shiny and brand new.

3. Nano-G Nanotechnology Anti-Slip Floor Coating comes in two grain sizes to suit the needs of your premise.

We provide our clients with two options for textured surfaces during our consultations. Namely, you will be able to pick between having a 100 or 500-grain surface. While both will provide you with the added friction your feet need to keep from slipping and falling, they have different uses for different types of surfaces.

4. Nano-G Nanotechnology Anti-Slip Floor Coating is hydrophobic.

Aside from just providing excellent friction and texture to your floors, Nano-G’s Nanotechnology Anti-Slip Floor Coating is also hydrophobic! Hydrophobic floors don’t absorb the moisture or allow water to clump together for long in grouts or corners of the room.

Our hydrophobic solution is able to stop water from making your floors slippery!

Not only that, because moisture will not be absorbed into grouts or pooled in corners, mould and bacteria will be less likely to grow and keeps grouts looking clean!

5. Your new floors will be scratch and stain-resistant.

This water-based solution is a hard and durable layer that covers your surfaces entirely. Our micro grain textures are so tough that they don’t detach or chip easily. This effect is able to protect the surface underneath the layer from getting weathered down from everyday use, small rocks, or any spills that may result in stains.

We highly recommend Nano-G Nanotechnology Anti-Slip Floor Coating to be applied in homes that have vulnerable groups of people, this ranges form the elderly, pregnant women, or children with special needs. In a study of 322 elderly patients visiting a hospital clinic, 120 out of 322 participants reported having fallen in 2017. The researchers recommend that extra precautions to be taken in ensuring the safety of elderly family members.

Our services helped keep swimming pools safe for little ones to play and learn!

I provide swim classes for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers. So, the tiles were a little bit slippery and that causes a risk of people falling, so that’s why we decided to look into an anti-slip solution. The tiles are definitely less slippery because it (now) has some beads that made the surface rougher.”

Ms Joanne, Aquabubs Swim School

That’s why we’re the trusted service providers for influencers and everyday people alike!

Originally, we would put an anti-slip mat in the toilet for my mother, but it didn’t seem to work very well. So we asked Nano-G to help us with their anti-slip floor coating services, and in just three hours, our toilet floor is covered by the colourless and traceless anti-slip surface. Other than a new layer of the matte surface, it looks and feels like nothing had changed. My mom can use the toilet in peace!”

Torch-On Membrane VS Nanotechnology Waterproofing

Things You Need To Know Before Choosing Torch-on Membranes Waterproofing Solutions To Solve Your Leakage Problems

The differences between this fire-based solution and Nano-G’s Nanotechnology Waterproofing solution.

Looking for a sustainable way to waterproof your property? When researching for methods, you are likely to come across the “Torch-On Membrane” method. While common practice for flat roofs, there are some precautions developers and homeowners have to bear in mind when it comes to this petroleum-based waterproofing solution.

The two most common Torch-On Membranes in the market are known as Atactic Polypropylene Plastic modified Bitumen (APP), and Styrene Butadiene Styrene modified bitumen (SBS). Both are heat-sensitive materials that are widely used internationally to cover flat roofs, floorings, car porch, and balcony areas.

How it works

The application of Torch-On Membranes involves two main layers to work, the substrate layer laid out on the surface and the thermofusible film of the membrane itself. The thermofusible film is a type of hot-melt plastic adhesive. Essentially, the torch on membrane is supposed to create a barrier on top of the surface of the leakage problem to keep water from seeping through. However, poor workmanship can lead to these membranes to not work as intended.

There are also more downsides to the method that we feel the need to point out.

1. Poor workmanship leads to membrane failures and debonding.

The whole process isn’t just a simple blowtorch-and-roll procedure based on instinct. In fact, this method requires strict SOPs. This ranges from the heat of the blowtorch, to the way the membrane overlaps, to the speed or position the membrane is at when rolled out.

Seam failure can be seen by too much overflow of the adhesive at overlapping parts of two membranes.

Ideally, the amount of fluid that spreads out from the overlapped parts must be between 1-2.5cm. If too little of the heat-fusible side has not been melted, you can experience membrane failure in the future. That’s why it’s hard to make sure that the membrane has been properly melted, even if handled by an expert!

2. The Torch-On Membrane is not suitable for all surfaces.

Torch-On Membranes are reserved for surfaces that are resistant to heat, such as concrete. This technique requires the contractor to work with a blowtorch! Therefore, it is not advisable to be used on flammable surfaces such as wood or insulation boards.

Poor judgement calls from the technician may lead to costly damages to your property.

Homeowners should bear in mind that Torch-On Membrane methods are reserved for wide outdoor areas, such as on commercial building flat roofs, outdoor car parks, and car porches. Even so, extreme caution must be observed when working around electrical or gas connection systems, such as AC outdoor units, electric boxes, and near plastic water tanks (tangki). This is because these areas are susceptible to heat and may get damaged, causing problems in the future.

3. Torch-On Membranes release harmful and toxic gas into the air and are not environmentally sustainable.

There’s a reason why this method is reserved for outdoor or open-air areas. Alongside the fire hazard that comes with using a blow torch, this method releases harmful chemicals into the air. Some websites might try to push that their solutions are sustainable and non-toxic, but they are still using petroleum-based materials!

The torch is used to heat up both the substrate laid out on the floor, and the petroleum-based adhesive side of the membrane.

According to a paper by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), asphalt fumes generated from the torching process releases carcinogenic particles. Due to long exposure, these particles can increase cancer risk in people. Not to mention, after the installation process, the smell of burning rubber may last for a good few days!

4. Uneven or damp surfaces leads to Torch-On Membranes debonding.

Debonding is the process that happens when the membrane lifts, peels or bubbles after a period of time. Unfortunately, several factors can cause debonding and they are usually a result of errors during the application stage.

Video credit: The Council for Sustainable Building Practices via YouTube

Namely, some of the main factors that cause debonding are damp, uneven, or poorly primed surfaces.

Your Torch-On membrane might debond due to your contractor using the wrong membrane that doesn’t work well with the substrate they choose from your floors, the surface of your floor being damp from the leakage problem, uneven, poorly primed, or contaminated surfaces! What’s worse, you wouldn’t notice if the waterproofing membrane was damaged until it starts leaking when it’s placed someplace you don’t visit often!

5. The surface of the membrane is likely to pool water.

On flat roofs, be prepared to notice that there may be unevenness on the membrane due to an uneven surface. These dips on the surface are likely to cause water to pool, creating a water ponding problem.

This will both deteriorate the membrane, as well as become a breeding ground for bacterial and mould growth. Scrubbing or power-washing the floor wouldn’t be as easy to clear off on a concrete surface.

Everything You Need to Know about PU Injections to Solve Your Leakage Problem

The differences between this drill, pump, seal method and Nano-G’s Nanotechnology Waterproofing.

Hairline cracks in concrete are usually the main causes of water leakage problems at home and in commercial buildings.

One common waterproofing technique used is the PU injection (a.k.a Polyurethane Injection), a conventional hacking method. Contractors using PU Injections usually drill a hole into the problem area, where the PU is then pumped into the hole. The chemical composition in the injection is then triggered to expand and fill up the walls or ceiling, blindly covering the whole area in hopes of filling in these hairline cracks.

Think of it like this: PU is made of the same spongy material found in chair cushions. The chemicals used in PU injections are broken up into two separate solutions to be mixed together before pouring the material into a pump machine. Then, it is pumped into the ceiling as the PU begins to react and expand.

Websites and social media like to advertise this method misleadingly- with claims that their in-house method requires no hacking, is fast-drying and has a clean operation throughout!

X company is advertising a promise for a toxic-free, hack-free, and fast PU Injection service. But our experience as waterproofing experts tells us that X might be stretching the truth!

Here’s a quick comparison of conventional PU Injection methods and Nano-G’s Nanotechnology Waterproofing. However, when looking into common practices done by most contractors- their claims just don’t match.

pu injection and waterproofing comparison

1. No hacking required, but DRILLING is required!

Despite not being a hacking method, PU Injections still require holes or scrapes to be made to the wall or ceiling. Drilling creates as much, if not more, noise and fine dust than hammering and hacking. Just for your understanding, the first thing a contractor learns when working on PU Injections is how to drill a hole into the affected area. More specifically, it’s to learn how to drill in a 45° angled hole through the suspected crack area to be filled in with PU later on.

We should also mention that the method in question we’re talking about isn’t the PU materials you can get in your local DIY shop. The chemicals used in this process have to be handled using heavy duty machines that mix up the chemicals before filling up the hole, where it should expand into.

Nano-G strongly believes that hacking methods should only be used as the last resort by any home or business owner for their premises. That’s why Nano-G’s Nanotechnology Waterproofing is done without the need for any hacking or drilling! Instead, we developed our solution to be able to seep into the thinnest of hairline cracks on any surface, filling up and protecting the layer from any further damage.

2. It can take a long time to complete the repair.

The thing about the PU Injection method is that it is a long process of drilling, grouting, sealing and cleaning. Add in some unforeseen issues and the entire process will take some time and patching up to complete. After the drilling, the contractor will use a high-pressure injection grouting machine that injects the polyurethane into the hole. This is when you will notice the excessive polyurethane dripping downwards from the hole.

If there are no more leaks, the contractor will proceed to clean up and properly seal the injected area. Our previous clients remarked that the spilled and solidified polyurethane were left there for up to 2 WEEKS before they were properly removed and cleaned up. In between the 2 weeks period, they noticed a recurring wet spot, resulting in them having to drill and inject the problem area again. Unfortunately, the wet spot can be a result of heavy rains or poor workmanship. If you’re unlucky a poorly done PU Injection can lead to a recurring water leakage that lasts for MONTHS even after repeated patching.

As a home or business owner, you need to ask yourself: Do I really want my ceilings looking like this?

Nano-G’s Nanotechnology Waterproofing solution, however, does not require any drilling and only takes about 24-48 hours to complete. This includes the work area preparation stage, application of the solutions, drying time and cleaning up.

3. Polyurethane is a known respiratory toxin.

Homeowners have to take note that Polyurethane is a petroleum-based method that can release harmful gas into the air as it is being applied. In fact, exposure to fumes from wet Polyurethane is known to provoke asthma and cause other issues to the throat, eyes, and skin and is definitely not safe around young children.

Four of the harmful chemicals found in PU Injections.

Instead of creating a health hazard for our clients, Nano-G ensures that our work materials are safe for your home, office, or business. This is because our nanotechnology waterproofing solution is a non-toxic material that doesn’t emit strong-smelling and hazardous chemicals. Therefore, you can still be present during our operation to have a look at what we do!

Take a look at what Nano-G’s previous clients have to say about our on-site services, here!

4. It’s messy, dirty and needs a thorough cleaning.

Not only will you be dealing with the harmful fumes, drilling noises, and unsightly drying times, you will also have to deal with the possibility that there will be stains that you can’t clean! PU Injections tend to leave marks on the walls or ceilings that are quite noticeable when you first walk into the room. Imagine after all the hassle you had to go through when dealing with the process and you’re left with specks of paint all over your furniture!

Our clients remarked that the PU Injection method left their premises in a mess, and later had an issue where they were not able to match the ceiling paint of their home! Therefore , we recommend for homeowners to be present as the application is being done and be firm on cleanliness once on-site application is done.

Nano-G’s experts are disciplined when enforcing a special on-site SOP that keeps your premises always clean and tidy, while not causing too much noise when applying our nanotechnology waterproofing solution. This includes cleaning the work area before and after the operation, as well as a final inspection from our supervisor. If your water leakage problems aren’t fixed from our workmanship, our solutions come with a money-back guarantee! If you’re not satisfied, we’re not satisfied.

5. PU Injections are a bad idea for plaster ceilings.

In homes with plaster ceilings, homeowners should take note that your contractor will have to cut a hole into the plaster ceiling that is big enough for them to reach the concrete ceiling hidden above.

PU Injection are a bad idea for plaster ceilings

The whole process creates a lot of dust and debris, as well as a wide and long hole in the ceiling. What’s worse, most contractors will only patch up the area they had drilled or hacked open. In older homes, this issue is even more of an eyesore as the plaster around the crack must have already aged into a cream colour, making it very obvious that rectification work has been made.

With Nano-G, our solution doesn’t require us to cut a hole into your ceiling. We’d also like to mention that we were able to solve numerous water leakage issues that conventional waterproofing methods like the PU Injection couldn’t solve. Many of our clients have remarked that both our Nano-G Nanotechnology Waterproofing and on-site SOP were the hassle-free, hack-free, non-toxic and effective solution they have been looking for.

Have a look at what Mr Edward had to say about Nano-G’s onsite service in his testimonial!

After engaging with Nano-G’s services, I realised Nano-G’s staff were very fast and also very professional and did not disturb the mother’s and their babies’ rest. I am quite satisfied with Nano-G’s service. I give them a thumbs up.”
Mr Edward, Woyo Confinement Center

Everything You Need To Know About Epoxy Flakes And ‘No-Hacking’ Anti-slip Solutions

When researching for the right long-lasting anti-slip floor coating, you may come across service providers that promise a toxic-free, hack-free, or even quick-drying Epoxy Floor Coating solution.

With our own experiences as homeowners and industry experts, we feel that it is our duty to point out what might not be the best anti-slip solution for home or business owners. Below is a side-by-side comparison chart that compares Epoxy Flakes Coating techniques to Nano-G Anti-slip Floor Coating solutions.

Nano-G Anti-Slip Floor Coating Vs Epoxy Flake Coating

What is Epoxy Flake Coating?

Epoxy Flake Coating is an anti-slip method that spreads a layer of Epoxy chemicals on the floor before adding coloured flakes on top as a way to create texture and patterns. These Epoxy chemicals include a resin material and a hardener that has to be blow-torched to fuse and create a new surface. While it may be a popular search item that pops up whenever you Google anti-slip solutions, there are some things you need to know when considering Epoxy-based solutions.

Epoxy Flake Coating, a coating method commonly used in public toilets or industrial places.

1. Epoxy Flake Coating preparation stage can get very noisy!

As part of the preparation stage, your service provider might choose a grinding method to apply their flake coating. This means the on-site technician will sand your tiled floors with a machine in order to make a rough surface. This is because there is a specific profile that lets epoxy to properly bind and stay on the floor.

Epoxy Flake Coatings need a specific type of surface in order to help the material to stick onto it.

That being said, this grinding process is incredibly damaging to your tiles, especially if you had installed very expensive high-quality bathroom tiles. There is no turning back once you use this method. Grinding will create scratches on the surface, effectively ruining the original quality of your tiles.

2. Epoxy Flake Coatings will change the overall appearance of your floor.

The way this anti-slip treatment works is by creating a hard, thick layer on top of your existing floors. To avoid a weird clear-watery look, some service providers have taken to adding coloured flakes to their epoxy mixture to give their treatments more texture or design work. Whether or not the finished design would look the way as advertised is up to the skill level and experience of the contractor working on your floors.

However, Nano-G’s Anti-Slip Floor Coating is able to maintain the appearance of your tiles while still providing the slip-proof properties you need for your toilets, bathrooms, or kitchen areas. This is because our experts need only to apply a transparent micro-grain texture on your tiles that doesn’t get slippery- even when wet or soapy! The best thing about Nano-G’s Anti-Slip Floor Coating is that it doesn’t cause any changes to your original tile work, unlike Epoxy Flakes coating.

3. Wet Epoxy emits strong and harmful fumes into the room.

The Epoxy Flake Coating process requires the binding of chemicals in high temperatures to form a thick and hard layer on your floor. Due to the nature of the way this treatment is done, it’s best for homeowners to not be near the work area. The person laying down the Epoxy materials also has to be mindful about keeping the room properly ventilated and for themselves to be in proper protective wear to prevent these fumes from causing damage to their lungs.

Back in 2018, a 71 year old man was found unconscious from inhaling too much Epoxy fumes while painting Epoxy on the top basement floor. The worker was then sent to the emergency department where doctors found traces of Epoxy fumes on his breath.

On the contrary, Nano-G’s Anti-Slip Floor Coating solution doesn’t emit harmful or toxic smells while it’s being applied. Therefore, you and your family may still be present in the home as we carry on our work.

Nano-G has received several reports from ex-workers of epoxy companies that reveal despite using gloves and enforcing the use of protective gear, their hands become swollen after a long day's work with epoxy flakes coating materials. Many of these workers decide to come to Nano-G as they noticed our solution is eco-friendly and non-toxic. That means that even if the solution would get onto their skin, it wouldn't have as drastic of a reaction as epoxy materials have.

4. Wet Epoxy has a really long drying time.

On top of these unpleasant harmful fumes, your home will be exposed to, you will have to bear in mind that the solution takes really long to dry. In fact, the longest amount of time you might have to wait for your Epoxy to dry completely can take more than 7 days, sometimes even go up to 30 days!

Imagine after your contractor has finished applying the Epoxy Flakes coating and you’re STILL unable to use the bathroom. It is extremely inconvenient for homes with elderly and pregnant women! You could close off your toilet for a few days and set up a ventilation fan to keep the fumes out… but it’s not that simple. Your family will still be exposed to harmful chemicals for a good few days. This is especially risky for those suffering from asthma.

With Nano-G, we ensure our experts conduct their work in a professional manner that respects your time and keeps things safe for you. As our non-toxic solution doesn’t involve the fusing of strong chemicals, we only need less than 24 hours to properly prepare and cover a 15 sq ft toilet or bathroom. Your well-being while we provide our service is our top priority.

5. Epoxy doesn’t breathe and traps moisture below its surface. Your new Epoxy floors may… peel!

If the air is too humid during application time, moisture will get absorbed into the wet Epoxy or get trapped under the coating layer, causing cracks to form on its surface once it is fully dried. The surface wouldn’t look as good once it is peeled or bubbling. Nano-G, however, is a transparent water-based coating that wouldn’t change the appearance of your floors. Therefore, our solution peeling off or being an eyesore will not happen.

When applying the Epoxy coating, a contractor has to take extra care that the floor has no water droplets or residues beforehand. This is a little more complicated when treating concrete, the material you find between (a.k.a the grouts) and underneath (a.k.a. the concrete slab) your tile work, as they tend to absorb moisture. Usually, an extra measure you would be recommended to take is to not wet the floor whenever you’re using the toilet a few days before the on-site work. Still, it will take quite some time before the water to fully evaporate and it is best to not rush this stage.

There are special measures contractors need to take during the wet Epoxy’s drying time as well. If the air is too humid, moisture will get absorbed into the wet Epoxy or get trapped under the coating layer, causing cracks to form on its surface once it is fully dried.

6. If you experience problems with your new Epoxy floor- it’s going to be really complicated to fix.

Epoxy Flake Coatings require careful scraping and grinding done by professionals to remove if there should be any issues. That’s because proper Epoxy work dries into a thick hard layer that is meant to withstand scrapes and pressure for a long period of time. It’s an especially complicated process to rectify coatings in toilets or bathrooms with existing tiles underneath. If the contractor is not careful, they may crack or cause further damage to your tiles (and subsequently your concrete slabs), leading to more costly repair work.

Our coating does not change the outlook of the tiles, hence it’s unlikely to experience any problems. It is a longer-lasting coating with near-zero maintenance required. If you’re dissatisfied with the outcome of your anti-slip floor, our solution wouldn’t be as much of a hassle.

For example, in one of Nano-G’s previous jobs, our client came back to us with a special request to change the grain sizes on their swimming pool deck to be finer. On their next available date, we came over, cleaned and dried the pool area, and reapplied a new Nano-G Anti-Slip Floor Coating layer on the deck that suited our client’s preferences better. While we will advise the suitable grains you should get for your homes, you may call us back to come and retouch the floor if you prefer a less grainy surface.

7. Epoxy Flake Coatings require an expert touch.

It goes without saying that handling the strong chemicals used in Epoxy work should be left to experienced professionals. Not only do they know how to properly prepare the work area, they also come equipped with the right materials, attire, and industry know-how for quality workmanship.

Not just any Tom, Dick and Harry can pull off a proper Epoxy Floor Coating. Amateur mistakes can lead to unsightly floors with stains and marks.

Despite the risks and health hazards that come with an inexperienced hand, it is ultimately your own decision on what type of service you’d like for your home.

For Nano-G, we believe that if you have the option to, why change the look of your surfaces when their appearance isn’t the issue?

What’s important is that we keep the home slip-free for our elderly, pregnant, or at-risked loved ones.

Oftentimes, slips and trips lead to more serious injuries. Keep your household safe before it’s too late! If you’re still unsure about why Nano-G is a more beneficial choice for your floors, drop us a message to find out what we can do to help you fix your slippery floor problems!
