Antike brushes feature a diamond grit fused into a brush based filament to allow the brushes to ‘machine’ a smooth and polished surface that is slippery into an antislip flooring in an easy and non hazardous way. These brushes are available in 30, 70 and 120 grits and can work on nearly all types of stone, concrete and timber flooring.

The diamond brushes are fitted underneath a machine to mechanically wear out the softer parts of the stone and leave the harder part of the stone proud of the surface, creating microscopic undulations in the floor which generates significant antislip.

Recently we invited Mr Mark McKay from Slip Test NSW to test a variety of flooring that we treated with the Klindex Antike System. Indicative test results were taken for the flooring that was treated and should prove as a guide on what can be expected. Results may differ due to density of stone and technique used by the operator.

Sliptest NSW has performed these test with reference to the following Australian Standard testing criteria, of the standard as listed below, and HB 198: 2014

• AS 4586:2013 Slip Resistance measurement of new pedestrian surfaces
• Appendix A – Wet Pendulum Test Method
• Testing performed using the Type 96 rubber slider material
