Balco’s Designer Abrasive Color Series

Our Designer Abrasive Color Series comes with 12 multi-color hues, uniquely blended to enhance your entrance or stairway design and pick up the accents of your color scheme.

This series offers custom blended multi-colors, incorporated throughout the entire abrasive thickness, minimizing wear patterns over time, and guaranteed to compliment your design styles.

Balco mat and grid products remove dirt and grime before it gets further into your building. It helps keep floors clean and reduce maintenance costs.

Balco stair nosings provide a safe, non-slip abrasive surface for all types of stairs.
