Length (Direction of Span)
The overall dimension of a flooring panel parallel with the load-bearing bars (this dimension is always referred to as ‘length’ even if it is shorter than the width).

Bar Surface
There are two types of surface finish, which provide varying slip resistance to the flooring:
PLAIN
A smooth finish creating a slip-resistance to the flooring.
SERRATED
A serration formed in the top surface of the load-bearing bars gives enhanced slip resistance.
