European Investment Bank, Luxembourg

Slippery wooden floor in European Investment Bank becomes slip-resistant with Swiss GriP.

The European Investment Bank (EIB) is the bank of the European Union and was founded in 1958 together with the EEC. Headquartered in Luxembourg, it provides finance and know-how for sound and sustainable investment projects worldwide.

The corridor in front of the cafeteria is lined with high-quality wood parquet. As you can see on the photos, the floor has a slight inclination. The parquet was slippery and the slope increased the risk of slipping. In order to prevent slips and falls for employees and visitors, Swiss GriP Luxembourg was commissioned to coat the wooden parquet. The condition and appearance of the flooring has not changed while it has been upgraded to an R11 slip rating.
