Ceramic tiles are used in the majority of Indian homes, offices, and commercial buildings. Their affordability, durability, and easy availability make them ubiquitous across the country. However, glazed ceramic tiles become very slippery when wet. Anti-slip treatment for ceramic tiles is one of the most in-demand services in India.
Why Glazed Ceramic Tiles Are Slippery
Most standard ceramic tiles have a smooth glazed surface designed to be easy to clean and attractive in appearance. The glaze creates a uniform, non-porous surface that has very little inherent friction — especially when wet. This is why bathrooms with standard ceramic tiles are so dangerous.
Anti-Slip Treatment vs Textured Tiles
Many builders suggest using textured or rough ceramic tiles for wet areas. While these do have better slip resistance, they are much harder to clean (dirt accumulates in the texture) and are aesthetically less appealing. Anti-slip treatment gives smooth ceramic tiles excellent slip resistance while keeping them easy to clean.
The Treatment Process for Ceramic Tiles
Oxon’s chemical treatment solution is applied to the clean, dry ceramic tile surface. The solution reacts with the ceramic material to create microscopic pores in the glaze. After a dwell time of 15-20 minutes, the surface is neutralised and rinsed. The result is immediately improved wet grip.
Floor and Wall Ceramic Tile Treatment
Anti-slip treatment is most commonly applied to floor tiles, but ceramic tile treatment can also be applied to shower wall tiles to improve grip in shower enclosures. This is particularly useful for elderly or mobility-impaired individuals who use shower walls for support.
