Frequently Asked Questions
Slippery Tiles? Slip Zero’s anti-slip floor treatment helps improve grip on wet tiled surfaces across Melbourne. Find answers to common questions about how the treatment works, where it can be used and what to expect.
General Questions
What exactly is an anti-slip floor treatment?
Slip Zero’s anti-slip floor treatment modifies the tile’s surface to improve grip, particularly when wet. Unlike a coating, the treatment works on the tile itself. It can help reduce the risk of slip and falls while retaining the original character of the tile, but cannot eliminate that risk—all without altering the floor’s character.
How long does the anti-slip floor treatment last?
The treatment is designed to provide long-lasting slip resistance. Its lifespan depends on the level of traffic together with proper cleaning and maintenaince.
Is the anti-slip floor treatment visible once applied?
The treatment is designed to improve slip resistance while retaining the original character of the tile. We assess the surface and carry out a test patch before proceeding with the full tile treatment.
Does the treatment damage the tiles?
Our treatments works with the natural properties of the tile surface without causing any damage.
Application Process
How long does the application process take?
The duration depends on the size of the area being treated. For an average shower, it usually takes about 1 hour. Larger commercial spaces might require a full day or more. Generally, the treated area can be safely used immediately once we are done.
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 we are done. There is a very 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 anti-slip treatment is suitable for ceramic and porcelain tiles, as well as selected natural stones. It’s not suitable for sandstone, limestone or travertine. We assess your floor and carry out a test patch before treatment to confirm it’s suitability and recommend the most approriate 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?
After treatment, we can provide independant slip resistance testing to demonstrate the improvement in slip resistance.
Can the treatment be removed if needed?
The treatment is designed to be permanent, rather than a removable coating.
