Custom printed self-adhesive floor graphics

Our floor graphics are digitally printed self-adhesive films with a textured anti-slip face and are designed to be applied over an existing floor surface. The adhesive properties of the films are designed to deal with the specific requirements of the surface to which they are applied. We offer a comprehensive range of products to accommodate different surfaces and uses, both indoors and outdoors, ideal for retail, shop fit, exhibitions and more.

Our digital print technology allows almost any image or message to be printed and our automated finishing and cutting capabilities allow graphics to be cut to shape.  The use of a clear film combined with our white ink printing capability opens many possibilities to produce captivating graphics which grab the attention of your target audience.

Things to consider...

We have a range of solutions, from products designed for just a short promotion, with emphasis on easy removal after use, up to a durable aluminium film that can last in excess of 1 year.

It is critical to know the type of flooring which the product will be applied, and the type and volume of traffic passing across it. Within our range, we can accommodate many popular flooring solutions such as:

Short pile carpet, Vinyl, Wood, Laminate, Tile, Stone, Brick, Concrete and Asphalt

  • Graphics should be bold and simple. Avoid complicated messages which require users to stop in order to read them.
  • If you do not know the colour of the surface your graphics are going on, consider adding a contrasting keyline around the edge to ensure they stand out against the floor.
  • Shape - we can cut to almost any shape, but complex shapes and sharp corners can cause the graphic to fail in use. Use simple shapes and always use radiused corners rather than sharp points.
  • Clear film and white ink - for some indoor hard floor applications we can print on a clear base film. When combined with our white ink printing capabilities, we can produce interesting effects. This also enables us to overcome some of the limitations of using simple cut shapes- Complex shaped images can be printed onto a clear background allowing a softer shape to be cut around the edge of the film.
  • Viewing angle - remember, users will be looking at your graphics from an angle as they approach them. This may need to be considered in your design.
  • This can affect both the effectiveness of your graphic and its durability.

  • A good use of promotional graphics is to direct customers to a particular product, so positioning directly in front of the appropriate shelf or location is of great benefit, assisted by additional graphics leading your audience to that location.

     

  • For functional graphics, where traffic is being directed, graphics should be positioned to allow time to react to the information. If queues are likely to build up and obscure important messages, they may need to be repeated. Or positioned to avoid the queues.

  • Installation has a huge impact upon the durability of your graphic. Within our range, requirements vary, so please ensure the correct information specific to each product is followed. In general:

    • Consider the location of the graphic as per information above
    • Ensure the existing flooring is of a suitable type for the graphic you have ordered
    • Clean the surface thoroughly, removing all dirt, dust, loose particles and contaminants such as floor polish and oily residues
    • Ensure the surface is dry and in good condition
    • Observer minimum application temperatures- remember that in cold conditions, surface temperatures may be lower than air temperatures.
    • Adhesive strength builds after application. Allow appropriate time before graphics are subjected to traffic
    • Ensure the correct tools are used, specific to the film you are using
    • Pay particular attention to edges, corners and joins when applying the graphic
    • After installation, ensure appropriate clean methods are used when maintaining graphics.
  • Our graphics will all withstand normal pedestrian traffic and wheeled loads.
  • Some outdoor solutions will tolerate light vehicles passing over them.
  • All films will be damaged by having hard items dragged across them. Try to avoid locations where this is Likely to happen, especially in industrial and workshop locations.
  • Outdoor graphics will tolerate light vehicles rolling across them but can be damaged by the twisting force of a tyre if a large steering input is made in the vehicle whilst it is on the graphic.
  • Avoid locations where vehicles will be stopping, starting and changing direction.
  • Where possible try to size and position graphics such that car tyres are likely to pass either side of a graphic rather than directly across it.

Slip Resistance

Slip ratings and certifications determine the suitability for a given product in a specific environment.
They are important to keep consumers safe and avoid any potential hazards.

It’s important to fully understand slip certifications as this will have massive impact on the product you
decide to use.

In the UK and Europe there are 2 certifications used to rate the product and advise its suitability for
floor applications.

  1. DIN 51130:2010 - R Rating
  2. BS 7976-2/EN13036-4 - Pendulum Test (PTV)

Many European flooring manufacturers and floor graphics material manufacturers use ramp-type tests to classify the slip resistance of their products before sale. Such tests are generally carried out using German National Standard test method (DIN 51130:2010).

 

The DIN 51130 ramp test is designed to simulate the conditions commonly encountered in typical workplace slip accidents. DIN 51130 uses heavily soled EN:ISO 20345 safety boots with motor oil contamination.

 

The test method involves an operator walking forwards and backwards over a contaminated flooring sample. The inclination of the sample is increased gradually until the operator slips. The average angle of inclination at which slip occurs is used to calculate the slip rating of the flooring.

 

The result is based on the R (Ramp) scale which runs from R9 to R13, where R9 is a high risk of slip and R13 is the lowest risk. Floor surfaces that are classified by the DIN 51130 standard as R9 (or in some instances R10) could be slippery when used in wet or greasy conditions.

DIN 51130 R-Value Slip Resistance Classification

R Rating R9 R10 R11 R12 R13
Slip Angle 6-10° 10-19° 19-27° 27-35° 35°+

R Rating Guide

RAMP Rating Description
R9 Suitable for use in dry indoor areas such as offices
R10 Suitable for areas that are kept mostly dry but have potential for spillages such as supermarkets, hospital corridors and some light industrial situations.
R11 Can be used in areas that can get wet such as bathrooms, food serving areas and sheltered external paths.
R12 Suitable for commercial kitchens, workshops, food processing plants, outdoor areas and sloping pathways such as disabled access ramps
R13 Suitable for swimming pool surrounds, steep slopes and work areas subject to wet and slippery contaminants, for example oil.

The pendulum test is a method that involves a swinging arm, with a rubber slider mounted on the end that sweeps over the test area.


There are two standard sliders, slider 96 (4S) represents average pedestrian footwear and slider 55 (TRL) represents barefoot floor conditions. The friction of the flooring has a direct and measurable effect on the Pendulum Test Value (PTV) given. The test is carried out first in dry conditions and
then after contamination with water.

 

Research has confirmed that the Pendulum Test Value (PTV) is a more reliable and accurate method for evaluating slip resistance. As a result, the HSE (Health and Safety Executive) and many insurance companies have adopted this as a standard test method for assessing slip resistance.

BS 7976-2 / EN 13036-4 Slip Resistance Classification

Pedulum Test Value (PTV) 0-24 25-35 36-74 75+
Classification High Slip Potential Moderate Slip Potential Low Slip Potential Extremely Low Risk

PTV Rating Guide

Pendulum Test Value - PTV Description
0-24 Suitable for use in dry indoor areas such as offices
25-35 Suitable for areas that are kept mostly dry but have potential for spillages such as supermarkets, hospital corridors and some light industrial situations.
36-74 Can be used in areas that can get wet such as bathrooms, food serving areas and sheltered external paths.
Suitable for commercial kitchens, workshops, food processing plants, outdoor areas and sloping pathways such as disabled access ramps
76+ Suitable for swimming pool surrounds, steep slopes and work areas subject to wet and slippery contaminants, for example oil.

Pendulum Test method versus Ramp Test method

DIN 51130 R9 to R13 ratings EN 13036-4 Pendulum Test Value (PTV) Likelihood of slip injury
R9 11 to 18 PTV Very Poor - Slip injury almost certain to occur
R10 18 to 34 PTV Poor - Slip injury likely to occur
R11 34 to 51 PTV Moderate - Slip injury may occur
R12 51 to 70 PTV Low - Slip injury unlikely to occur
R13 70+ PTV Extremely Low - Slip injury rare to occur
