Application of Anti-Slip Coating to Hotel Pool
CASE STUDY: Indoor Pool in Hotel
PROBLEM: Slippery Tiles
SOLUTION: Application of Coating & Anti-slip Media
This scenario was a hotel in New Mexico with an indoor pool featuring porcelain tile.
The tile had been down for years and was badly stained. This particular tile should have been sealed after installation. Through many years of pool chemicals, body oils, etc The porcelain had absorbed much of the foreign matter.
Every attempt was made, and just about every chemical known to man was applied to extract the oils from this surface. It was restored to maybe 80-90% of its original appearance but would never be 100%. The priority for this account was the anti-slip, rather than the tile’s cleanliness.
This customer and their various Chief Engineers over the years had different approaches to creating a non-slip floor. All of the chemical applications and do-it-yourself products failed. They were either hyped much more than they actually delivered, or the product just wore out and had to be reapplied far too often.
The solution was to apply our permanent coating process and broadcast anti-slip media to the surface, creating a permanent non-slip tile floor. Many of the photos, as well as the application video, can be seen here.
