Tiles Non-Slip & Slip-Resistant Treatment. How to Fix and Remove Slippery Indoor & Outdoor Floor Areas. At Home, Commercial & Workplace.
Outdoor Floor Tiles Non-Slip.
To make tiles non-slip and slip-resistant for both indoor and outdoor is paramount to ensure that floor tiles in the wet high traffic areas can provide sufficient friction for users. Especially for vulnerable aging elderly, senior, disabled and young kids.
Wet rooms, bathrooms, showers and toilets flooring are highly prone to risk of slips and falls at home and workplace.
To begin with, it is important to understand why floor tiles are slippery. This is because there is insufficient slip-resistant between a person’s feet and the flooring. The foot slips through the floor easily especially when is wet, soapy or oily.
Therefore, it is important to increase the coefficient of friction (COF) of tiles so that there is a better grip to hold the foot with better slip-resistance.
This article will provide some ideas and recommendations on how to create a safer flooring. Especially for dangerous wet areas. Such as bathtub, shower, kitchen, bathroom, toilet flooring.
1. Tiles Non-Slip Coatings.
Apply anti-slip coating or sealer designed for tiles. These floor coating create a textured surface to improve traction. Choose coatings suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
2. Tiles Non-Slip Paint Or Spray.
For outdoor tiles like concrete or wood. Consider using anti-slip paint or non-slip spray designed for outdoor surfaces.
3. Sand, Flake or Grit Additives.
Mix sand, grit, mica flakes or pebbles additives into outdoor epoxy paint or concrete sealant for an extra topcoat of slip resistance.
4. Use The Appropriate Floor Cleaner.
It is highly recommended to use floor cleaners that can effectively remove stains, dirt. grease and oil. Especially in kitchen, bathtub, toilet bathroom and shower areas.
Use anti-slip solution cleaners have a degreasing effect and deep cleaning purposes.
Depending on the material of the floor surface and anti-slip coating applied. Always read the instructions of the floor cleaner suitable for your flooring.
One should avoid cleaners that contain slippery ingredients. These residues may trap in the textured tiles, leaving a film which is slippery and dangerous.
5. Regular Maintenance.
Keep the tiles clean and free from debris, moss or substances that are slippery. Regular cleaning and maintenance are essential for slip-resistant.
6. Keep The Tiles Dry.
You can use a floor scraper to remove excessive water. If possible, use wet vacuum cleaner for deep cleaning and extracting any dirt or debris on the surface. Use a signage when the tiles are wet or mopped on common corridors and entrance.
7. Non-Slip Mats or Rugs.
Place non-slip mats or rugs in high-traffic areas, especially in areas prone to water or spills. Such as entryways, kitchens or outdoor patios. Ensure these mats are designed for outdoor use if needed.
8. Choose Slip-Resistant Tiles.
Choose anti-slip tiles designed with slip resistance in mind. Look for a slip resistance flooring with a natural rough or textured surface. For outdoor areas, consider slip-resistant tiles designed to withstand weather conditions.
In areas exposed to water like toilet, bathroom or outdoor balcony. Choose non-slip tile with slip rating R9, R10, R11, R12, R13 tiles and ease of future maintenance. They are made of materials that offer better grip when wet.
9. Grout Lines.
Ensure that grout lines are well-kept and free from mold or mildew. As they can be slippery when wet. Consider using epoxy grout, which is more resistant to moisture. Or using non-slip grout additives during installation.
10. Tiles Non-Slip Strips or Tapes.
Apply stairs nosing such as non-slip treads or tapes on outdoor steps and staircases. Anti-skid paint and non-skid spray can be a good combination. It can increase the traction of stairs from slipping and falling at heights.

Select tiles with a matt or textured finish rather than high-gloss tiles, which can be more slippery.
