SlipNOT® Metal Safety Flooring, the leader in slip resistant safety flooring products, has been specified by Gensler and Associates to provide non-slip stainless steel plate to JetBlue’s Terminal 5 at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in New York City. The new terminal made its grand opening on Oct. 22, 2008 and is one of the first terminals in North America to have been completely designed and constructed since September 11, 2001.

Terminal 5 was designed to accommodate more flights and passengers than the airline’s old JFK terminal and is nearly three times the size. SlipNOT® sales representative Glenn Dusek who worked on the projected commented, “Our product is being used in the terminal’s central shopping and dining Marketplace on the steps of the concession grandstands; an area where chairs and tables are provided as a seating and waiting area for passengers while they wait for their flights.”

food safetySlipNOT®’s mission for this project was to supply a durable slip resistant product for JetBlue while taking into consideration the aesthetic needs of the airport terminal. Gensler and Associates designed Terminal 5 to complement and not overshadow an existing historic curvilinear concrete structure designed by architect Eero Saarinen that sits adjacent to the new Terminal 5. The use of stainless steel in the construction of the new terminal created a seamless look when integrated with the historic structure. Its clean and upscale appearance along with its resistance to corrosion appealed to both Gensler and JetBlue.

SlipNOT® has provided slip resistant products including tooling platforms, stair treads, and tarmac plates among others, throughout the aerospace industry for years. Companies such as Boeing, Goodrich, Dyncorp International, and Lockheed-Martin, along with various metal fabricators, have used SlipNOT® slip resistant products for numerous projects. Most recently a local steel fabricator used SlipNOT® non-slip expansion joint covers in the north terminal reconstruction project at the Detroit Metro Airport.
