Safety is often the top priority when designing or renovating an aquatic facility. Slip and falls are a leading cause of injuries in wet environments, making it essential to choose the right flooring. But safety isn’t the only factor to consider—comfort, aesthetics, and long-term performance matter, too.
Life Floor goes beyond safety to provide a flooring solution that enhances the entire aquatic experience. Here are just some of the reasons why Life Floor has been a trusted choice for aquatic facilities since 2011:
Slip Resistance, Cushioning, and Comfort
Life Floor is engineered with a proprietary foam-rubber material that provides exceptional slip resistance. Unlike traditional pool surfaces that become slick when wet, Life Floor maintains traction even in high-traffic areas. This slip-resistant quality significantly reduces the risk of slip and falls, making the environment safer for visitors of all ages and abilities.
Beyond safety, Life Floor also offers unparalleled cushioning and comfort underfoot. Many traditional pool surfaces are hard, abrasive, and uncomfortable to walk on, especially for children. Life Floor’s cushioned surface absorbs impact, reducing the severity of falls and making it a more comfortable option for guests who spend extended time in aquatic areas. Life Floor tiles also help with the dissipation of heat, making outdoor surfaces less scorching to bare feet. Whether walking, running, or playing, visitors will appreciate Life Floor's soft, supportive feel.
“The Life Floor gives life to the pool and to the space. A lot of times, when you see tile, it’s not as exciting, but having this with the pops of color has allowed us to not have to do as much on the walls. We let the floor lead the way, and it’s a beautiful space. I haven’t seen anybody fall or slip, and we know people are going to run. The investment is worth it just by reducing the slips, and when people do slip, they’re not hitting the ground as hard. The most input I get is just how beautiful it is. People notice it. They touch the ground and try to see how soft it is and if they’re gonna slip. It’s a beautiful addition.”
Aesthetic Appeal and Design Flexibility
Aquatic facilities should be as visually engaging as they are functional. Life Floor is available in a wide range of colors, shapes, Inlays, and patterns, allowing for limitless design possibilities. Our design team can customize your flooring to match branding, integrate logos, create themed play areas, or add visual wayfinding elements that enhance both aesthetics and usability.
With Life Floor, our designers create beautiful, inviting spaces without sacrificing safety or performance. Whether you’re aiming for a sleek modern look or a playful aquatic theme, Life Floor provides the design flexibility to bring your vision to life.
“Safety and brand are both important to Carnival, and Life Floor understands this completely. Not only does rolling out Life Floor across multiple ships provide the consistency expected from Carnival, but the tiles improve the safety, image and guest experience of every area where they’re installed.”
Long-Term Durability and Simple Maintenance
Facility managers need a flooring solution that delivers lasting performance in demanding environments. Life Floor is engineered to resist wear from foot traffic, exposure to chlorinated water, and fluctuating environmental conditions without breaking down. Unlike traditional flooring materials that can crack, delaminate, or deteriorate, Life Floor retains its durability and slip resistance over time, ensuring a reliable surface for years to come.
In addition to durability, Life Floor is easy to clean and maintain. Its non-porous surface resists mold, mildew, and stains, requiring minimal upkeep. Routine cleaning is simple, making it an efficient solution for busy aquatic facilities looking to reduce maintenance time and costs.

“It’s definitely been a great addition to our community - the splash pad and the Life Floor.
