Clear slip resistant coating is a surface treatment designed to improve traction under suitable conditions. Unlike opaque floor paints, a transparent treatment may help preserve the appearance of existing tiles, depending on the product and substrate. An anti slip coating for tiles can be considered for selected residential and commercial applications where maintaining the existing finish is important. However, performance varies according to the coating system, tile type, preparation, application method and environmental conditions. Before choosing a product, assess the surface and review its technical specifications to confirm suitability for your project.
A suitable non slip tile coating can offer several practical advantages when correctly selected and applied.
A properly specified slip-resistant treatment can help improve traction on compatible surfaces. This may be particularly useful in areas where smooth tiles become slippery when exposed to moisture. Actual performance depends on the product, installation quality, cleaning practices and conditions of use.
A non slip clear coat for tiles may be suitable when you want to improve surface traction without changing the floor’s appearance significantly. The final finish can vary, so test the product on a small, inconspicuous area before treating the entire surface.
Replacing tiles can involve disruption, labour and additional costs. Where the existing tiles are structurally sound and compatible with the treatment, a clear anti slip coating may provide an alternative worth assessing. It is not suitable for every surface, and it does not replace necessary repairs to damaged tiles or underlying waterproofing.
The appropriate application depends on the product’s approved uses and technical guidance.
Outdoor environments require particular attention to weather exposure, drainage, surface contamination and maintenance. A coating should be selected for the conditions it will experience.
Not every tile or floor requires the same treatment. When comparing slip resistant surfaces and coating options, consider the existing material, whether the area is indoors or outdoors, exposure to water and the level of foot traffic.The required slip-resistance performance should also be considered. P3, P4 and P5 classifications may be relevant to particular projects, but the appropriate rating depends on the applicable test method, intended use and project requirements. Do not assume that every clear coating achieves every rating. If your project requires a particular classification, check the manufacturer’s technical data and applicable test reports. Remedial Membranes can help you identify the information needed to assess product suitability.
Correct preparation and application are essential to achieving the intended result. The exact process varies by product, so always follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
If tiles are loose, cracked or affected by water ingress, address those underlying issues before applying a surface coating.
Wet Pendulum Test Method completed by NATA Accredited laboratory. Please request copies if required. Samples were completed on a smooth surface. If your surface is already in all applications the suggested aggregated is mixed into the liquid and applied as normal with continuous mixing necessary to keep the aggregate from settling. If you are a company you have the ability to request a presentation folder of tiles samples to feel the textural difference between the aggregates.

“Thank you to Jasmine of Remedial Membranes for her work in rectifying the leak caused by the gradual wearing of the waterproofing in our bathroom. The application of the membrane has saved us a huge headache and thousands of dollars! We highly recommend this form of waterproofing.”
“I recently had a failed waterproofing membrane under a tiled balcony. This resulted in substantial leakage and major damage to my ceiling…A clear waterproofing membrane from Remedial membranes was applied over the existing tiles. I found them professional, on time, and did an excellent job. Our balcony has not leaked despite substantial rain since the repair.”
“Great Business to deal with. Keep you updated and in the picture. Had no issues at all. Great product – does the job and finish is good. We had our steps and front Patio done. Impressive ! Would recommend product & Supplier with no hesitation.”
“I contacted Remedial Membranes after we sold our house but one of the conditions of the sale was the showers to be repaired. We didn’t have any spare tiles and the new owners did not want the look to change so the idea of putting a clear membrane over the surface was a perfect solution to everyone involved. The job was done in 1 morning and the sale went through. Highly recommend Remedial Membranes. Their ability to work to a deadline was fundamental for the success!”
