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.”

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.

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.
