Hi Team,
I have slippery tiles in my patio. It becomes slippery when water is spilled.
Can you please advise any products that can help make it non-slippery ?
The area is 12 sqm.
Thank you
Hello @dbase92000
Thank you for sharing your question about your tiled floor. I suggest using the https://www.bunnings.com.au/dta-1l-anti-slip_p6820943 coating, this anti-slip product is a fluoride-based formula designed to help prevent slipping on ceramic, mosaic and quarry tiles, terrazzo and unpainted concrete floors. It works by altering surface texture, while maintaining the floor's appearance and is suitable for use around bathrooms, patios, pools and steps.
Please remember to wear personal protection such as gloves and goggles when applying the anti-slip product.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Hi Eric,
Thank you for recommending DTA as possible solution for making the tiles non-slippery. Is there any video that explains how I can apply it on the surface? Please also recommend protective gears that I can find in Bunnings.
Hi @dbase92000,
Protective gloves should be worn whilst applying DTA Anti Slip.
I've included the application video below.
Please let me know if you have further questions.

Thank you Michelle. It seems this solution does not work for Porcelain tiles. Do you have any solution for Porcelain tiles ?
Hi @Fren,
Unfortunately, the DTA Anti Slip Treatment is only suitable for glazed ceramic tiles, not porcelain. Do you know whether your tiles are definitely porcelain, or are you just unsure of the tile type?
If they are glazed porcelain tiles, the only product we currently stock that may be suitable is the https://www.bunnings.com.au/croc-grip-spray-on-clear-anti-slip-coating_p3962148 . It's designed for use on glazed tiles, but I'd recommend applying it to a small, inconspicuous test area first to ensure it bonds well to the surface and that you're happy with the finish.
One thing to be aware of is that the coating is only semi-translucent and can slightly alter the appearance of the tiles. It also only comes in a spray format rather than a liquid.
If you'd prefer not to apply a coating, another option would be to speak with a tile specialist. Some professionals offer treatments that lightly etch the glazed surface to improve slip resistance while maintaining the appearance of the tiles.
