As a premise, I like to work with non-slip floors as a strategy to mitigate the risk of accidents in wet and outdoor areas. of all, but it is necessary to prevent even more with the elderly, children and pets “, emphasizes Catê Poli.

stone floors

Considered as dear, this type is eternal and resistant, has a more natural and pleasant air, non-slip textured floors with various shapes and high water absorption. Low-maintenance, long-term varieties include granite, slate, Portuguese stone, and Goiás, among others.

concrete floor

Porcelain stoneware floor

Therefore, it is recommended to save a small percentage to use in an eventuality.

ceramic floor

3. Choose floors that do not interfere with the health of pets

Thus, wooden floors, laminate floors and polished porcelain, which can stain and scratch very easily.
