Description
Our Indoor Heavy Traffic Floor Graphics are perfectly suited for indoor environments subjected to heavy foot traffic. Printed in-house on our HP Latex R2000 and finished with a textured protective overlaminate, they are R9 anti-slip rated, reducing the risk of accidents, injury and legal challenges.ย
These floor graphics are commonly ordered by a variety of different sectors, including, but not limited to, schools, universities, warehouses, supermarkets, airports, hospitals, museums and offices. They are the ideal print media for wayfinding, safety or promotional initiatives.ย
Every graphic is contour cut to shape, independently tested to DIN 51130 for slip resistance, and fitted with a permanent adhesive built for smooth, sealed indoor surfaces.

FAQ
What does the R9 rating mean?
R9 is a slip-resistance category from the DIN 51130 ramp test, which measures the angle at which a test surface remains safe to walk on. Our graphics have been independently tested and achieved a Category R9 rating. As with any floor surface, grip is reduced when the floor is wet or dirty.
Has the product been pendulum tested as well as ramp tested?
Yes. It’s also been independently pendulum tested to BS 7976-2:2002+A1:2013 and the UK Slip Resistance Group Guidelines. Dry conditions show low slip potential; wet conditions show a measurable reduction in grip, most notably for barefoot use. Full results are in the specification table above.
What floor surfaces can I use this on?
Smooth, flat, sealed indoor surfaces, such as sealed wood, stone and tiled flooring. Surface types vary, so we’d recommend testing a small sample area first if you’re unsure.
How long will the graphic last?
It’s rated for 1 year of service under normal indoor foot traffic, including heavy traffic areas, when applied to a correctly prepared floor.
Do I need a professional installer?
No. This is a self-install product, applied using a simple dry application method. Full application steps are set out above.
Can it be cut to a custom shape?
Yes, every graphic is contour cut to shape. Contact us directly to discuss a custom shape or cutting requirement.
What artwork do you need from me?
For the ebay printing results possible, please provide vectorised artwork (AI, EPS or PDF) or a high-resolution JPEG, ideally set up in CMYK. Donโt worry, we check your artwork and provide a free proof before production starts.
Is there a minimum order quantity?
No. You can order a single graphic or multiple, and the same pricing and lead times apply regardless of size or quantity.
How long does production take?
Production takes 5-7 working days from artwork approval, with next-day delivery available after production.
Can the graphic be removed cleanly?
The adhesive is permanent, so removal may leave some residue on the floor. This can usually be cleared with rubbing alcohol.
Do you offer trade pricing?
Yes. Apply for a BEE 4 trade account using the form in our footer to access ongoing trade pricing.
What happens if there’s a problem with my order?
Let us know as soon as you receive it. If the issue is our fault, we’ll refund or replace the graphic free of charge.
