Find clear answers to common anti-slip floor treatment FAQs, including details about our anti-slip treatments, application process, and services.
General Questions
What exactly is an anti-slip floor treatment?
An anti-slip floor treatment is a specialized solution that we apply to tiled floors. It creates microscopic suction cups on the surface, which increase friction when the floor is wet. As a result, it significantly reduces the risk of slips and falls—all without altering the floor’s appearance.
How long does the anti-slip floor treatment last?
Typically, our treatments last between 3 to 5 years, depending on foot traffic and maintenance. For high-traffic commercial areas, we recommend scheduling a maintenance treatment every 2 to 3 years to ensure continued safety.
Is the anti-slip floor treatment visible once applied?
No, the treatment remains completely invisible after application. It doesn’t change the appearance, color, or texture of your tiles, yet still provides excellent slip resistance.
Does the treatment damage the tiles?
Absolutely not. Our treatments work with the natural properties of the tile surface without causing any damage. The treatment integrates into the tile’s structure without etching or degrading the material.
Application Process
How long does the application process take?
The duration depends on the size of the area being treated. For an average bathroom, it usually takes about 2 to 3 hours. Larger commercial spaces might require a full day or more. Generally, the treated area can be safely used after 12 hours.
Do I need to vacate my home during the treatment?
No, you won’t need to leave your home. The process causes minimal disruption; however, you cannot use the treated area until it fully dries, which takes about 12 hours. There is a mild odor during application that quickly dissipates with ventilation.
What preparation is needed before anti-slip floor treatment?
To help us work efficiently, please ensure the area is clean and free of furniture or obstacles. Although our team performs a deep clean before applying the treatment, having the space clear speeds up the process.
Can the treatment be applied to existing floors?
Yes! Our treatment is designed specifically for existing tiled floors, making them safer without the need to replace or remodel.
Technical Details
Does the treatment work on all types of tiles?
Our treatment works effectively on most tile types, including ceramic, porcelain, granite, marble, and other natural stones. During your initial consultation, we assess your flooring to recommend the best treatment option.
How does the treatment affect the cleaning of my floors?
You can continue cleaning your floors as usual. However, we advise avoiding harsh abrasives or strong acids, as these can reduce the treatment’s lifespan.
Does the treatment meet safety standards?
Yes, our treatments meet and exceed international slip resistance standards, including relevant Australian regulations. After treatment, we provide slip resistance test results to document the improvement.
Can the treatment be removed if needed?
While the treatment is designed to be permanent, professionals can remove it if absolutely necessary. This is rarely required since the treatment doesn’t alter the tiles’ appearance.
Service & Pricing
Do you offer warranties on your treatments?
Yes, we provide a satisfaction guarantee and warranty on all treatments. The specific warranty depends on the treatment type and area, which we discuss during your consultation.
How is pricing determined?
Pricing depends on factors such as the area’s square meterage, tile type, surface condition, and the treatment required. We offer detailed, no-obligation quotes after assessing your space.
