Vitrified tiles are India’s most popular flooring choice — used in millions of homes, offices, and commercial spaces. Their polished, glass-like finish looks stunning but becomes dangerously slippery when wet. Anti-slip treatment for vitrified tiles is essential for any space where wet conditions are possible.
What Are Vitrified Tiles and Why Are They Slippery?
Vitrified tiles are made by fusing silica and clay at very high temperatures, producing an extremely hard, non-porous surface. This process gives them their characteristic high shine — but also a very low surface friction coefficient. When wet, polished vitrified tiles can be as slippery as ice.
Anti-Slip Treatment Process for Vitrified Tiles
Oxon’s anti-slip treatment for vitrified tiles uses a carefully calibrated chemical process that creates microscopic pores in the tile’s vitrified surface. The process is quick (15-20 minutes per 100 sq ft) and the results are immediate and permanent.
Double-Charged vs Full-Body Vitrified Tiles
Both double-charged (soluble salt) and full-body vitrified tiles can be treated. The treatment parameters are adjusted based on the specific tile composition. Our technicians assess the tile type before applying treatment to ensure optimal results.
GVT (Glazed Vitrified Tiles): Special Considerations
GVT tiles have an additional ceramic glaze layer on top. Anti-slip treatment for GVT tiles requires a slightly different approach to ensure the treatment penetrates effectively. Oxon’s team has extensive experience with all major Indian GVT brands.
Before and After: What to Expect
After treatment, vitrified tiles retain their exact appearance — same shine, same colour, same pattern. The only difference is grip. To test the effectiveness before and after, we use a pendulum slip resistance tester. Results typically show a 40-60% improvement in wet friction coefficient.
