Anti Slip Tile Treatments – Non-Slip.co.za

Anti Slip Tile Treatments Shouldn’t Be Confused With Coating Products

This anti-slip solution erodes “pock marks” in the glazed surface of the tile. These pock marks with a liquid causes a vacume type environment when stepped on with your bare foot or soft soled show. This then ensures superior grip!

These anti-slip tile treatment solutions should not be confused with coating products that sit on top of tiles. Anti-slip coatings wear off and leave you with the same problem of slippery wet tiles.

The more advanced solutions ensure maximum grip that increases with an increase in water or fluid, effectively making them safer as more water accumulates. Where the anti-slip paints and anti-skid varnishes sit on the surface of the tiles, this anti slip solution reacts with the silicates in the glazed or hardened surface of the tile.

The idea is to keep the solution on the peaks of the “hills”, rather than the valleys, that are naturally formed during the baking process of the tiles. The application process will widen and deepen the microscopic pores. When the tile is slippery with water, your shoe or bare foot squashes the water out of the pore and grips to the surface just like a tire does to a wet road thus reducing the likelihood of a slip.

Slip Safety For Slippery Kitchen Tiles – with added benefits!

From time to time we get enquiries regarding the impact of our anti slip tile treatment products and hygiene. Clearly cleanliness is 100% important particularly in kitchens and food processing, so what is the impact?

Once the tile treatment has done it’s job and created microscopic tread patterns just below the surface of your slippery tiles, all residue is washed off. In addition, it is odourless clear chemical, so will not affect your food production from the kitchens.

Good news is that there is zero impact! Think about it – the solution (slightly acidic) is applied to the slippery floor area that is to be treated. Once it has done it’s job and created microscopic tread patterns just below the glazed surface of your tiles, all residue is washed off. In addition, it is odourless clear chemical, so will not affect your food production.

Slippery Floor Surfaces caused by Soapy Residues

There is no need to leave any residue and the area treated is washed with clean water. It is harmless from a contamination perspective during the application process. Unlike cleaning materials that leave a residue the surface will remain clean and remember this is not a coating so there will be nothing left.

Typically there are usually more residues and bacteria in kitchens from old spills of food or liquids and also as mentioned, from cleaning products which tend to stay on the surface.

For peace of mind this identical application has been used effectively in many high street globally branded restaurants and fast food chains alongside the kitchens of 5 star luxury global brands.

When you assign Non-Slip.co.za you will be ensuring that not only will your environment be clean but there will be slip reduction also! Call us now on 021 855 1509 or fill in the enquiry form here.

Slippery Floor Tiles – We reveal how we get a grip on it!

Slippery floor tiles are a hazard that can, in most cases, be avoided through an amazing solution that is applied into the pores of a tile. So when your shoe or bare foot makes contact with a wet slippery tile, the water is actually ‘pushed’ out of the pores resulting in mini suction caps being created.

For several years companies and householders have been complaining about floor tiles that are very slippery. One very expensive solution would be to remove the tiles and put new anti-slip tiles in place – but this option
