Anti-Slip Treatment

1. What is anti-slip treatment? Anti-slip treatment is a specialised process applied to floors to improve traction and reduce the risk of slipping. It works by altering the surface structure or adding a non-slip coating to create better grip when the floor is wet or dry. 2. What surfaces can be treated? Anti-slip treatments can be applied to: Tiles (ceramic, porcelain, stone) Natural stone surfaces Concrete floors Bathrooms and showers Entryways and pathways Pool surrounds Commercial and industrial floors 3. How does anti-slip treatment work? Depending on the system used, the treatment either: Chemically micro-etches the surface to create microscopic traction, or Applies a clear non-slip coating with added grip particles. Both methods significantly increase slip resistance without noticeably changing the appearance. 4. Will the floor look different after treatment? Most treatments are clear and non-glossy, meaning the floor keeps its natural look. In rare cases, very shiny or polished surfaces may appear slightly more matte. 5. How long does the treatment last? Longevity depends on traffic and surface type: Residential areas: 2–5 years Commercial/industrial areas: 1–3 years Regular cleaning can extend the lifespan. 6. Is anti-slip treatment safe? Yes. Once cured, anti-slip surfaces are safe for people, pets, and children. They meet or exceed slip-resistance standards when applied correctly. 7. How long does the process take? Most applications take 1–3 hours, depending on area size. Floors can usually be walked on soon after completion. 8. Can anti-slip treatment be applied in wet areas like showers? Absolutely. Showers, bathrooms, and pool surrounds are some of the most common areas where anti-slip treatment is recommended. 9. Do you provide slip-resistance testing? We can assess the slippery surface and recommend the appropriate treatment. Third-party slip-resistance testing can be arranged if required. 10. How do I maintain my anti-slip surface? Clean regularly with pH-neutral cleaners Avoid waxes or sealers that can reduce grip Keep floors free of soap residue and oils Use mats in high-traffic or constantly wet areas 11. Can anti-slip treatments be used outdoors? Yes. Many treatments are suitable for outdoor tiles, concrete, and stone and are UV-resistant and weather durable. 12. Will anti-slip treatment fix structural issues? No. Anti-slip treatment increases traction but does not repair cracks, structural damage, hollow tiles, or uneven surfaces. Additional services may be required before application.
