Grip On International A.G : Switzerand

The invisible solution for safer floors: Grip On Anti Slip Treatment is designed to increase the coefficient of friction on a variety of flooring materials, bath tubs and shower trays by creating micro pores in the surface which create a vacuum effect when walked on in a wet condition and thereby considerably improving the traction and seriously reducing the risk of slipping.

Grip On will create micro pores in natural materials and manufactured products that are a fusion of materials bound with cement or clay including concrete, quarry tiles, ceramic, marble, terrazzo, granite, slate, stone, porcelain and enamel finished bath tubs and shower trays. There is no significant change in the appearance of a surface treated with Grip On and it is not a coating that can wear down or peel off. It is a treatment process that reacts with the material itself to produce an invisible and lasting effect.


Site Of The Week : 20 : Edward Burtynsky : Canada
Edward Burtynsky : Canada

Exploring the Residual Landscape: Nature transformed through industry is a predominant theme in my work. I set course to intersect with a contemporary view of the great ages of man; from stone, to minerals, oil, transportation, silicon, and so on. To make these ideas visible I search for subjects that are rich in detail and scale yet open in their meaning. Recycling yards, mine tailings, quarries and refineries are all places that are outside of our normal experience, yet we partake of their output on a daily basis.

These images are meant as metaphors to the dilemma of our modern existence; they search for a dialogue between attraction and repulsion, seduction and fear. We are drawn by desire - a chance at good living, yet we are consciously or unconsciously aware that the world is suffering for our success. Our dependence on nature to provide the materials for our consumption and our concern for the health of our planet sets us into an uneasy contradiction. For me, these images function as reflecting pools of our times.
