Tread Alert is suitable for interior dry conditions. Tread Alert should not be used in internal areas that may be subject to wetness.
Tread Alert tiles should contrast in colour with the surrounding floorcovering to ensure clear visibility.
Consideration must be given to the frictional characteristics of Tread Alert and the surrounding floorcovering. Dramatic changes in frictional resistance, such as when used in conjunction with carpet, require special consideration.
