HOW TO FIX SLIPPERY WET TILE FLOORS
We have been treating slippery wet tile for the last twenty years. Over that period of time we have perfected the methods for all different types of tile. We treat all types of slippery wet tiles: ceramic tile, quarry tile, polished porceline tile, marble tile, granite tile, and even glass tile. Some areas are made so much more appealing by the addition of a tile surface....but they are prone to getting wet as well.
No matter what type of tile you have.... if it is outdoors it needs to be treated. Swimming pool areas are often very dangerous with they are wet. Often, swimming pool inspectors call for treatment of the tiles that are around the edge of the pool or on the edge of the steps. Once the inspector calls for this the pool has to be drained to get to the tile. This can be avoided by treating the tile before it goes in. This is a process of chemical etching that does not change the appearance of the tile but does change the coefficient of friction so that the tile will not be slippery. Each type of tile is different and the chemicals are mixed to the appropriate tile surfaces and left on for the correct amount of time for each type of tile.
This is an example of a polished porcelain floor done recently.
We currently sell products so that you can treat your own slippery quarry tile. This is the type of tile that is used in most restaurant kitchens. Usually it is red in color. We also market a product that you can use to treat your own ceramic tile. Ceramic tile is tile that has a clay backing on it. Tile can be treated either before it is installed or after.
Avoiding slip and fall injuries is imperative in business. Taking the correct measures to treat slippery wet tile that you already know is slippery when wet, will help you avoid law suits. At least it will help you defend yourself. If you know that your tile is slippery or if anyone has fallen in the past you will be wide open to a law suit if you don't take care of the problem. The treatment on the tile will be long lasting if it is cleaned properly and no build up of any other products is allowed to accumulate on the tile. Restaurants in particular need to use a good degreaser on tile floors to keep them slip resistant. We sell products that clean and degrease tile floors.
