They’re often used interchangeably when talking about shower trays — but they don’t necessarily mean the same thing.
🟣 Non-slip — can simply describe a surface with inherent friction. It doesn’t necessarily mean it has been specifically engineered to reduce slipping.
🟣Slip-resistant — suggests that something has been deliberately added or applied to improve traction, such as a coating, paint or surface treatment.
🟣 Anti-slip — refers to a surface deliberately engineered or designed to minimise the risk of slipping.
And when it comes to a shower, where water, soap and shampoo are involved, the terminology alone isn't enough.
Look beyond the label. Ask how the surface achieves its grip, how it has been tested, and whether that performance is designed to last.
With SENSTEC, the patented dimple design is integrated into the shower tray itself, creating a high-traction surface that is designed as part of the tray — not simply added as a coating.
Because when it comes to shower safety, it's worth knowing what you're actually buying.
