National Floor Safety Certified Flooring
J+J Flooring Group, based in Dalton, Ga., is a leading manufacturer of commercial specified flooring. The company announced that its Kinetex products received National Floor Safety Institute (NFSI) certification as a High-Traction Surface. As a credible third-party certifier, NFSI’s commitment to education, research and the development of standards reinforces J+J’s commitment to safety. A milestone for the Kinetex brand, having high-traction certified products enhances overall safety performance and is an added benefit to its portfolio of product attributes. A comprehensive series of tests, the NFSI certification involves two phases and measures both static and dynamic coefficients of friction, under both dry and wet conditions. The first phase of testing is conducted on new flooring in a laboratory. Phase II testing is conducted immediately after an actual customer installation and again after 30 days, post-installation, to see if traffic and maintenance change the slip resistance. Kinetex products contain 55 percent recycled content, are fully closed-loop recyclable, certified to NSF 140 Platinum and an ideal solution for health care facilities.
