Slippery Polished Porcs

[White Room]

Had a call today from a guy that has polished porcelain on two shower room floors, he's finding there slippery so was looking for advise on any topical sealers or any coating that might prove there worth.

Just options to give him or could be a rip out and redo with a more appropriate tile.

Don't Lithofin do a etching product?

There is product called traffik it is an anti slip coating it doesn't alter the finish of the tile other than giving it slip resistance

Cheers Gary, never heard of them but done a search and found the company.

I know my supplier used to do a product that became 'less slippy' when water came into contact with it. Never used it but will find out name if they still do it.

Doesn't make the appearance of the tile any different either.

Cheapest option- buy some slippers.

I used a similar one for shower, a year that works

We do have an anti slip , this contains an acid to burn micro pores to add slip res ,on a polished porc ,this will damage the surface and not look good , go with the brush on if you want to keep the aesthetic look of the tile , I would still test first on off cut if avalible.

Saw the job yesterday and find out there ceramic not porcelain, British gas done the job...the whole shower and tiling as I was informed ?.
It seems the tiles were wiped over with an unknown substance and the home owner states there extremely slippery.
So his argument is for BG to get them replaced or me to do it but if not a non slippery application applied...
