Anti-Slip Floor Treatment: Make Slippery Tiles Safe, Today

Someone’s already slipped. Or the entry turns into an ice rink every time it rains. Or residents keep complaining about the pool surround.

Fix it now

• Send photos of the floor and tell us where it gets wet (entry, bathroom, ramp, pool, balcony).
• We confirm the surface can be treated and quote in writing.
• We treat it, usually during business hours with little disruption, and the floor can be walked on as soon as we finish.

Our anti-slip treatment is not a coating. It works into the surface of the tile or stone to increase grip, especially when wet, with little or no change to how the floor looks.

How it works

• Microscopically enhances the tread pattern of the floor surface to increase slip resistance, wet or dry.
• Not a coating, so there’s nothing to peel or wear off.
• Little or no change in appearance. It may lower the sheen a little on high-gloss tiles.
• Quick, no smell or mess; the area can be used immediately after treatment.

Surfaces we can treat

Ceramic, quarry, porcelain, terrazzo, marble, granite, bluestone, concrete/aggregate and most natural or manufactured tiles, plus porcelain or enamel surfaces (e.g. baths). Indoors and outdoors.

Can’t be treated: vinyl, fibreglass, plastic, timber, painted or coated surfaces and most slate. For those we’ll suggest another fix (anti-slip tapes, strips or nosings).

Where it’s used

Bathrooms and showers, kitchens, foyers and entries, ramps, walkways, pool surrounds, balconies, aged-care and childcare floors — anywhere a smooth floor becomes a slip hazard, especially when wet.

Slip resistance standards (in plain English)

• AS 4586 classifies the slip resistance of new pedestrian surface materials (for example the wet pendulum “P” classes P0–P5, and oil-wet ramp “R” classes R9–R13).
• AS 4663 covers slip-resistance measurement of existing floors in place.
• SA HB 198 is the guide used to choose the right classification for an area (wet entries, ramps, pool surrounds, etc.).
• The NCC sets minimum slip classifications for ramps, stair treads, nosings and landings (Table D3D15).

Looking after it

No special maintenance: clean as normal.

Doesn’t disrupt business

Most jobs are done during trading hours with little or no disruption, or after hours if you prefer. The floor is safe to walk on immediately after treatment.

Who we do this for

Body corporates and strata, property managers, aged care and retirement villages, childcare, schools, councils, retail, hospitality, gyms and pools, homeowners.

Does it work on bathroom and shower tiles?

Yes, on most ceramic and porcelain tiles and on porcelain/enamel baths.
