Tilecraft Slip Resistant Tiles

This range of ceramic tiles use sand to create a rough surface, making them slip-resistant. They were specifically designed for outdoor use, but they can be used indoors to create a safer entrance or hallway. The tiles are frost and stain resistant and provide a long life surface.

Tiles range from $25-$27 per square metre (depending on colour)

Floorsafe Anti-Slip Cleaner

Floorsafe cleans and sanitises ceramic and quarry tiles, marble, concrete, terazzo and paved floors while making them anti-slip. It will remove all surface contamination, removing grease, fat and oil from the floor and grouting without leaving a soapy residue. The anti-slip quality meets the Australian Standard safety level and is permanent as it is 'topped-up' every time the floor is cleaned.
Floorsafe is usually used in commercial and high-traffic public areas such as restaurant kitchens and walkways however it can be used in the home kitchen or other busy areas. You can order this product from Floorsafe International for approximately $20.50/500ml or $38/2.5L.



Slip Grip

Slip Grip works on the surface of tiles yet remains invisible to the eye. It can be used on areas such as pool surrounds, patios, bathrooms, laundries, steps and kitchens. The treatment will not peel off and will not be affected by UV rays, it must be worn down for the grip to be affected. Slip Grip was designed to be used on ceramic tiles including glazed, mosaic, quarry, terrazzo as well as unpainted or unsealed concrete. Slip Grip is available nationally in selected hardware stores and costs approximately $30 for a 1 litre bottle.
