Making Ceramic Tiles Less Slippery

Using an anti slip coating.

Making ceramic tiles less slippery.

An oil or urethane based paint sticks to the surface of any clean dry ceramic tile. In rooms such as the kitchen and bathroom where surfaces are likely to become wet it is particularly important to find flooring with good traction to prevent slips and falls. Minute by minute microscopic pores are created microscopically making it rougher. For example add a grip requires one part solution to 10 parts water.

Tile floors are attractive and durable but they can be slippery when they get wet or greasy. If you select a flat finish paint and cover it with a flat finish urethane sealer youl increase the slip. Just like the products above invisatread is another option that will make your glazed tiles less slippery. This product is invisible when dry and it doesn t leave a sticky feel.

First of all you need to make sure you are cleaning your ceramic tile frequently and properly or it can significantly contribute to the ceramic tile being too slippery. This neutralizes the etching product and washes away the microscopic nano particles of removed tile. Use the tile cleaning solution and scrub the floor with a brush on an extended handle. Although the product is not a non slip coating it helps make your surface feel less slippery especially when wet.

Make the smooth surface of the tiles rougher to create more traction usually done by using an anti slip solution add anti slip treads or stickers cover the tile floor with non slip rugs. You don t want any ceramic tiles to remain slippery because someone could get hurt. Add the appropriate amount of water according to the solution directions. If you don t want to cover your tile with rugs to help keep your family safe use a tile etching acid.

Pour an anti slip solution such as add a grip safety floor treatment by slip resistant solutions or wearmax from global safe company in a bucket. Tile flooring can create an elegant and colorful look for any room. Check every tile you added the resistant solution to and make sure it has some gripping to it. If it doesn t have a good grip add more slip resistant solution to it and let it dry again.

When the chosen reaction time has been reached normally 5 15 minutes you then rise the tile with fresh water mixed with baking soda. The easiest way to make your shower floor less slippery is to add traction by installing an anti slip shower mat.
