This was an application in Los Angeles, California. A medical facility had a porcelain tile entrance that was slippery (wet), even when dry.

Anti-Slip Coating on Porcelain Tile

Rather than replacing the tile, we were brought in to apply our durable anti-slip application.

There are two important segments of an anti-slip application. The first consideration is the vehicle (sealer or coating) being used. Sealers, by definition, are temporary and typically will last 1 – 1.5 years before re-application.

The second factor to consider is the anti-slip media that is added. By adding an aggregate of shaved plastic or even sand, those properties wear down very fast. You’re left with the sealer or coating, making the surface more slippery than when you started.

We utilize a multi-component durable coating. In scenarios that include grout, this coating process serves a dual role: preserving the surface of the tile, non-slip, and also preserving the grout.

For the media, we have manufactured small glass beads for National Sealing Co. to replace the plastic media. We have found the glass beads to be much more durable; they embed, making the surface easier to clean, and the finish is of higher quality.

Our anti-slip solution provides a very durable, long-lasting, and effective solution for slippery surfaces.

National Sealing Co. has crews that can mobilize throughout the country for non-slip applications.
