Safe by Device

Antislip Pro prevents slips in the shower or bath, but is virtually invisible. The optical and functional qualities of BetteGlaze® are retained in full.

Developed in response to the fact that, increasingly, the shower areas that are being installed today are much bigger than those of only a few years ago. Thomas Klöwer, Head of Application Technology for Bette, explains: '“Whereas a size of 90 x 90 cm used to be considered the standard, there is more and more demand today for showers of 140 x 90 cm or even larger. This gives the user more freedom of movement when showering. However, this should not be at the cost of safety. Consumers should continue to be able to stand safely in the shower without the risk of slipping.” And that is what Anti-Slip Pro is for. “We never stop questioning our products based on the requirements of fitters, architects, planners, technicians, tilers and other customer groups.”

Matthias Rampsel, Product Manager, emphasises the teamwork that is behind this development.

“Above all, the continuous exchanges with architects, planners and installation engineers are extremely important. This enables us to better understand their needs, and means we are really close to our customers. We use these experiences as the base for internal panels of experts and Open Innovation Workshops.” We are able to develop new ideas on this basis, and strengthen our own innovativeness. “Our products and solutions are the result of our desire to offer our customers even more optimum solutions. And we do!”

The unequalled evenness of our shower areas is achieved using a wet-in-wet enamelling technique perfected over decades. The procedure permanently binds three ultra-thin layers of our special enamelling formula to the titanium steel carcass in two firing steps at 850° Celsius. 

In order to give a shower area a special protective finish, a different grain is added to the enamel before it is applied to the blank. The resulting natural material has a lightly matted surface that is very slightly rough: Anti-Slip Pro.

What makes it unique? The entire resulting surface is more slip-resistant, not just individual areas of it. And: you can't see the functionality on the area. The puristic design of our exclusive shower areas and trays is preserved. We have, of course, had our anti-slip finish tested by independent external laboratories and the TÜV. Anti-Slip Pro complies with rating group B for wet-loaded barefoot areas as per DIN 51097 and rating class R10 for anti-slip properties in workrooms and working areas with an increased risk of slipping as per DIN 51130. So Anti-Slip Pro provides additional safety in the bathroom and at the same time offers standard slip resistance. The system can be easily tailored to individual needs and design specifications. Also good to know: the Glaze remains extremely strong and exceptionally resilient. Like all our surfaces, Anti-Slip Pro is exceptionally easy to clean.
