This was an application in Los Angeles, California. A medical facility had a porcelain tile entrance that was slippery (wet) and even when dry.
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 part to consider 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 preserves the grout.
For the media, we have manufactured for National Sealing Co. small glass beads to take the place of the plastic media. We have found the glass beads to be much more durable, they become imbedded leaving the surface easier to clean, and the finish is of a higher quality.
Our anti slip produces a very durable, long lasting and very effective approach to slippery surfaces.
National Sealing Co has crews that can mobilize throughout the country for non slip applications.
