Anti slip floor coatings can be useful in a home, but lots of people stay away from them because historically, they've been quite ugly and functional. Nowadays, there are are options that are functional and aesthetically pleasing - and some options that are invisible.
Anti slip options
Coatings
Anti slip coatings can be applied to all trips of hard floor surfaces. It's like a layer of paint, and when the coating is dried the surface of your floor is textured which increases it's slip resistance. Usually, these coatings are invisible and can sometimes also protect your floor from wear and tear.
Treatments
Treatments can be applied to porous hard floors (like tiles or concrete) and change the texture of the floor. They are also invisible and you can use them even if you want to retain the shiny glazing on tiles.
Anti slip tape
If you don't need anti slip solutions everywhere but a particular part of your home causes accidents, tape can be an option. Lots of colour options and tape can sometimes even become a feature that's functional and also good looking.
Nosings
Nosings can be applied to the edge of stairs, and both reduce the slipperiness of stairs and can be chosen in a different colour to increase the visibility of the edge of the stair.
Tiles
Textured or tactile tiles are another choice if you are looking for a great anti slip floor.
- Textured tiles have a rough surface and are available in different colours and patterns. Usually they're made of ceramic or cement but rubber tiles are also available.
- Tactile tiles have studs or bumps in them and because they are not completely level the likelihood of slipping is lower. However, some of these options (if not made of rubber) can be hard on the feet.
