Product Selection

How to choose between 1A, 2A, and 3A fall-resistance grading levels?

Select models based on product structure and spatial scenarios; product grading should not be altered based on age or bone density:

  • Grade 1A: L1 Bathroom Mat, Xingji Half Anti-slip Mat, and Xingji Full Anti-slip Mat, suitable for restrooms, bathrooms, covered walkways, and wet area pathways
  • Grade 2A: S1 Beijixing and Quantum Stack, suitable for bedside areas in bedrooms, elderly rooms, and home aging-in-place renovation
  • Grade 3A: S3 Xingyao, S2 Xingmang, and Fall-cushion System, suitable for nursing home public areas, wheelchair and nursing bed pathways, institutional high-traffic zones, and PVC or wood flooring composite surfaces in hospitals/nursing homes

Age, bone density, and care risks serve as reference for project zoning; specific indicators are subject to testing reports, subfloor conditions, and project configurations.View Detailed Explanation of the Three Grading Levels →

Should nursing homes choose S1 Beijixing or Xingji Full Anti-slip Mat?

Based on institutional fall-prevention strategies:

  • Focus on "bedside and elderly room cushioning" → S1 Beijixing (soft-focus, 65A soft material + 102 BPN friction + multi-level impact cushioning)
  • Focus on "reducing the risk of slipping in wet areas" → Xingji Full Anti-slip Mat (R10 rating + improved dry and wet friction performance)
  • Comprehensive solution: lay Full Anti-slip Mat in public areas for anti-slip protection + lay S1 Beijixing in bedrooms for cushioning + lay S3 Xingyao in wheelchair areas

What is the difference between S3 Xingyao and S1 Beijixing?
  • S1 Beijixing: 65A soft material + 102 BPN friction + multi-level impact cushioning, recommended for soft-focus areas in nursing homes and residential rooms for the elderly
  • S3 Xingyao: 65A soft material + high flatness + multi-level impact cushioning + wheelchair/nursing bed resistance, suitable for indoor corridors, bedrooms, activity halls, and covered walkways

Project quotations are confirmed based on area, subfloor condition, auxiliary materials, transition strips, and installation conditions.

How can public product information be obtained?

Public information can be accessed via the product page, resource download center, and quick model selection tools; when requiring project quotations, testing reports, or information packages, please submit details such as scenarios, area size, whether it is a wet area, and if wheelchairs or nursing beds are used, via phone or WeChat.View Product Series →

Applications

What is the difference between fall-resistant flooring for the elderly and ordinary flooring?

Ordinary flooring primarily addresses "floor flatness." Fall-resistant flooring for the elderly simultaneously addresses three key aspects:

  1. Anti-slip (reduces the risk of slipping)— R10 is specific to tested products such as Xingji Full Anti-slip Mat and is not generalized to all series
  2. Cushioning (mitigates fall impact)— Multi-level impact cushioning; specific indicators are subject to corresponding reports and sample names
  3. Antibacterial (applicable to public areas)— Inhibition rates of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli are subject to testing reports

AnchorCare utilizes two proprietary technologies—Anti-Slip particle anti-slip and iBoost dampening shock absorption—to provide 1A/2A/3A three grading levels.

Can it be used in bathrooms? Is it water-resistant?

Xingji Full Anti-slip Mat is specifically designed for wet areas: the R10 anti-slip rating applies to tested products of this category, featuring improved dry and wet friction performance, waterproof PP surface layer + rubber elastic cushion, fast drainage via 50 Xingji elements, and joint gaps > 2.5mm for easy rinsing. Bathrooms, shower rooms, and swimming pool perimeters can be used as wet area solutions, but must still be used in conjunction with grab bars, lighting, drainage, threshold leveling, and care management, and cannot guarantee no falls, no injuries, or no fractures.View Bathroom Feature →

Can it be installed in hospitals or rehabilitation centers?

Yes. Ordinary wards and corridors can use S1 Beijixing as a shock-absorbing underlayment beneath PVC sheet flooring; wheelchair training areas and rehabilitation zones can use S3 Xingyao (capable of withstanding pressure from wheelchairs and nursing beds). This meets hygiene disinfection requirements while reducing secondary injuries from falls.

Are pickleball courts part of the official AnchorCare website business?

Sports flooring for the elderly and community light-sports safety protection belong to AnchorCare's senior-friendly flooring application scenarios; however, standard pickleball complete equipment and competitive courts belong to an independent sports business line and do not serve as evidence/claims for the elderly fall-resistant flooring on this site.

Installation and Maintenance

How long does installation take? What are the requirements for the subfloor?

Glue-free interlocking style: 500㎡ is typically completed in 1-2 days; low subfloor requirements, as flat and hardened surfaces (concrete, tiles, or original PVC sheet flooring) are suitable, with no need for a new subfloor; no curing period; all-weather installation; repeatedly detachable and relocatable.

Is maintenance difficult? How to handle elderly incontinence?
  • S1 Beijixing can be cleaned in whole pieces or rolled up for washing
  • Xingji Full Anti-slip Mat features joint gaps > 2.5mm allowing water to drain through and wash away
  • Antibacterial performance of all series is subject to testing reports, and daily cleaning is similar to ordinary floor tiles
  • Individual tiles are independently removable and can be replaced in case of large-area contamination
How long is the warranty? What does the warranty cover?
  • S1 Beijixing / S3 Xingyao: 6-year warranty against crumbling
  • Xingji Anti-slip Mat (Half Mat/Full Mat): 8-year limited warranty

Warranty = no large-scale crumbling fractures under non-human or force majeure factors. Force majeure factors include direct damage caused by sharp objects such as long-term soaking in acid rain, corrosive liquids, disinfectants, high heels, scaffolding, and vehicles.

Technology and Certification

What environmental and safety certifications are available?

6 categories of third-party testing: GB/T 18883-2022 National Indoor Air Quality Standard, SGS PP material, SGS environmental stress cracking resistance, antibacterial testing, EU REACH SVHC, and photoaging durability test. General certifications: ISO 9001 (certified in 2017) / EU R10 (Full Mat version) / National Toy Safety Standards (partial series). Formaldehyde levels comply with national standards, and the product is recyclable.View List of Test Numbers →

What documentation and credentials do you provide?
  • Product catalogs, testing documents, model selection instructions, and installation communication checklists can be provided based on project needs
  • Matters involving cooperation entities, authorization scopes, or contract documents are subject to confirmation by both parties
  • Testing and qualification details are subject to corresponding reports or certificates, and are not generalized across different models
What is Anti-Slip particle anti-slip technology?

A proprietary anti-slip technology of Zhejiang Jiunai Technology Co., Ltd., applied to the Xingji Full Anti-slip Mat. Principle: a combination of raised micro-particles and anti-slip materials enhances anti-slip resistance in wet and dry environments; actual performance in rainy conditions and wet areas is subject to specific scenarios and testing reports. Performance: enhanced anti-slip properties, provides a degree of impact cushioning, and offers improved resistance to deformation and damage. The Full Mat version meets the R10 international anti-slip rating.
