Has anyone out there ever looked into friction testing in wet areas such as bathrooms and showers.

I have found guidlines on how to reduce slip risks by treating of existing surfaces including diamond cutting, abbrasive product applications.

How ever I was wondering if anyone had ever done any type of friction testing of product used in wet areas?.

May be particularly useful in construction of new Hospitals and nursing homes.

Regards
Dave
