Anti-Slip Flooring

Featured Replies

I would appreciate any advice anyone can give about non-slip finishes for ceramic tile flooring that are available in Phuket.

The ceramic tiles in my new house are treacherous when wet...which is why I am typing this with a broken arm, bruised ribs and other injuries...

I ideally I would like a clear, easy-to-apply finish...any advice on where to source, which brand to use, which to avoid etc, would be much appreciated...

slippery = easy clean

non slippery = hard to clean

bathrooms I use semi slippery tiles, as it needs proper daily cleaning, and as rooms are small its easy to find something to hold on to

pool deck more difficult, so non slippery tiles, but hard to keep clean

Cotto is my favourit

Not the cheapest option, but burned granite is something that looks good and is functional.

Sorry that it sounds like it is a little late for you but most select the tiles for the area of use. There are some absolutely beautiful high friction tiles for outside areas and medium friction for bathroom areas and the like wherever water can be expected. I know this does not go towards answering your question but it is a heads up for those in the tile selection process. Smooth wet tiles can be like ice as you clearly indicate you have found out the hard way. Sorry for your mishap but let it serve as a warning to others.
