Hi Jason,

Thanks for your prompt response ,

I am thinking about using this product  I/N: 6690244, which doesn't appear to have a brand.

Hi @Mukka53,

Thank you for the additional details.

I'd suggest using Cabot's CFP Floor Polyurethane in your choice of finish.

Cabot's CFP Floor Polyurethane is a durable and versatile finish that can be used to protect cork floor tiles. It provides a hard-wearing, long-lasting coat that enhances the natural warmth and texture of cork while offering excellent resistance to wear, scratches, and stains. The polyurethane dries quickly, leaving a smooth, glossy finish that’s easy to maintain.

Information about slip resistance tests can be found on Cabot's webpage for each product. For example, the Cabot's Satin Water Based CFP Floor has achieved a slip rating of P4 which means that the surface has been tested and found to provide high slip resistance in wet conditions.

This would be a fantastic choice to protect and enhance the looks of your studio shed's cork tiles and provide good slip resistance for years to come.

Let me know what you think and if you have further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
