Coefficient of Friction (COF) Testing for Walkway Surfaces

At Bennett Build, we believe that the quality of a floor isn’t just about how it looks or how long it lasts — it’s also about how safely it performs. Our experience in surface performance, including coefficient of friction (COF) has served architects, contractors, and real estate owners across commercial, educational, and public-space projects.

• 8 million people visit U.S. hospitals each year because of fall-related injuries (CDC).
   
• Annual medical costs related to fatal and non-fatal falls exceed $80 billion (NCBI).
   
• Falls are the leading cause of unintentional death among adults aged 65+ (CDC).
   

For property owners, design teams, and builders, these figures highlight that slip-resistant surfaces aren’t optional — they’re critical to protecting lives and reducing liability.

• Certified Testing: We perform on-site COF measurements in accordance with recognized standards (ANSI B101.3, and others).
   
• Any Hard Walkway Surface: Concrete, terrazzo, polished, sealed, refined, or decorative — we test them all.
   
• Project-Stage Flexibility: Testing available during mock-ups, after installation, and for ongoing facility safety audits.
   
• Data You Can Trust: Our reports include clear, traceable readings for documentation, compliance, and insurance needs.

• Deep expertise in concrete materials and surface performance.
   
• Independent, objective results — not tied to any single product manufacturer.
   
• Responsive service with the ability to mobilize quickly to projects anywhere.

Whether you’re designing a new logistics center, installing concrete finishes in a school, or auditing an existing facility for safety compliance, we’re here to help. Contact us today to discuss your floor audit needs.
