How The Heavyweight® Measures Up

Slip resistance is measured based on the Coefficient of Friction (COF) between two surfaces. The coefficient ranges from 0 to 1.0 and the higher the number, the greater the slip resistance. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) recommends a COF rating of >.05 or greater.

One user of The Heavyweight tested their 24 year-old tile floor which was rated .85 by the manufacturer when new. After using The Heavyweight, the readings ranged from .83 to .95 with a WET surface. Yes, some areas of the floor exceeded the original manufacturer’s rating when the floor was new!
