Anti Slip treatments for a safe, non slip surface
Tiled surfaces are one of the longest lasting surfaces you could possibly install in your home or business. Whether the wrong tile was used or the tile has become slippery over time it can become a major hazard, and with tiles being such a hard surface there is a high risk of injury if a fall does occur. Slique have a number of anti slip solutions available:

Anti Slip treatments can make slippery tiles into a safe non slip surface
- Grinding / honing involves an abrasive process to create texture on smooth stone surfaces, creating grip. This changes the surface to a matt finish but is extremely long lasting and cost effective.
- Etching involves application of a special acid that etches into the surface of the tile creating a fine texture that reduces slip. It can only be used on ceramic and porcelain tiles. This option can be applied for longer or shorter times depending on how much texture and slip resistance you want to create.
- A non slip coating is a very hard, very thin coating applied to the surface of the tiles with a fine glass bead. The bead creates slip resistance and this system will pass a wet slip test so is perfect for commercial premises. This can be applied to any surface.
- Non slip tape can be applied when you want a temporary solution that is easy to remove. Tape can be applied in any pattern desired on any surface.
- Sometimes external factors such as chemical residue, mould, oil etc can make tiles slippery. If this is the case the residue can be cleaned away to return the tiles to their naturally anti slip state –
