The Surtronic Duo is a portable surface roughness instrument that allows the user to measure, analyze and assess the surface of flooring.

Whether you are manufacturing, supplying or assessing flooring the surface has to meet various criteria. Contamination, cleaning ability and slip resistance are critical within food processing and pharmaceutical sectors, whereas shopping centres, supermarkets and holiday complexes need to assess cosmetic appearance, durability and safety.

Floor safety is of particular concern: slips, trips and falls are the most common causes of serious injuries at work and employers are under increasing pressure to implement safety control methods to address this problem. The use of a surface roughness meter, used in conjunction with the materials available from the HSE, allow Health & Safety personnel to make an objective decision about the safety of their flooring.
