anti slip treatment for polished porcelain - Tile Advice

[Albert]

I have an entrance way, lobby, to tile and the client wants 600x600
polished porcelain. There used to be a product you could paint on and it did not affect the finish of the tile, possibly by lithofin

They still make & sell it. Its literally branded as anti-slip.

I recently bought the Universeal version called feel safe. Yet to try it though.

did a sample of the Lithofin one a couple of weeks ago Albert.

did it on an of cut, not as easy to as I thought but probably better on a large area. Problem I had was not getting any bubbles in the liquid, where I did it left marks on the tile.

the process did affect the finish. It etches and gives it a very slightly homed finished and didn't make it as anti slip as I was expecting.

I still have some left and will try in on a larger off cut.

I thought that’s how they worked Albert, by etching the surface?
Lithofins certainly does.
Would it depend on how much you apply as to how much it alters the finish?

I used the Lithofin version on a trade day last year on a 60x60 polished porcelain. I managed to get it to a fairly consistent finish in the end after two applications.

Sounds like something you should do before fixing the tiles so as not to wreck your work if it doesn't go as planned .
