Ensuring secure footing at home and preventing slip accidents for your loved ones begins with finding the best anti-slip options.
Slip and fall risks are common in showers and bathrooms due to combined factors like soap, water, and smooth, hard tiles. The issue is further exacerbated at home if occupants allow the grime and biofilms to build up over time! Moreover, unlike the kitchens and restrooms in commercial and industrial buildings, not all tiled areas in homes are designed to prevent slips.
Why do bathroom tiles at home become extra slippery over time?
In home bathrooms, tile choice, cleaning practices, and the absence of anti-slip measures can increase the risk of accidents. In contrast to public restrooms and kitchens, where professional janitors and contractors maintain the spaces, home kitchens and bathrooms face unique challenges. The very smooth surfaces and gradual accumulation of substances can lead to slippery floors. If your tiles become slippery after cleaning, it’s often because of a residue left behind, which can be hazardous. This buildup can occur for various reasons, including:
- Soap residue
- Algae
- Biofilms
- Grime
- Stagnant water
Mitigating slipperiness in your bathroom is crucial to ensure safety, especially in areas prone to water exposure. While keeping bathroom tiles clean, dry, and well-maintained is important, there’s a highly effective solution that is proven to provide long-lasting slip resistance: anti-slip coatings. Anti-slip coatings offer a superior and longer-lasting solution for preventing slip and fall accidents in your home.
What is Anti-Slip Coating?
Anti-slip coating, also known as slip-resistant or non-slip coating, is a protective layer applied to smooth floor surfaces, stairs, ramps, or other areas prone to slips and falls. Its primary purpose is to improve traction and minimise the risk of accidents, particularly in wet or slippery conditions.
Often used on concrete or tile surfaces to reduce slip tendencies, anti-slip coatings make floors safer to walk on even when wet, offering an extra layer of grip. There are several types of anti-slip coatings you can explore for tiles at home, including acid etching liquid solutions, adhesive strips, and Nano-G’s Nanotechnology Anti-slip Floor Coating.

The importance of Anti-Slip Coating for the safety of your family members at home
Tiles can be a substantial slip-and-fall risk, especially when wet or exposed to spills. Their smooth, often polished surface lacks natural traction, making them much more slippery in specific situations. This innate slipperiness can significantly increase the chance of accidents, especially in high-traffic areas or when people are in a hurry – not ideal for homes if you have one or more family members who are senior citizens, pregnant women, or children.
Some elderly people may not be able to physically get up or recover from the fall. Back in June 2020, a 50-year-old woman slipped and fell into a squatting toilet. She had to endure an hour of struggling and pain before help arrived to help her get out of the hole in the toilet! Source.
Slip and fall accidents can quickly escalate – from first appearing to be trivial to serious or fatal injuries, ranging from chronic pains to traumatic brain injuries, or even death if someone stumbled and hit the ground head-first. The risks are increased especially on hard surfaces like tiles, asphalt, or wood.
Hence, prioritising anti-slip tile installation isn’t just a matter of convenience but also a vital safety measure to guard against such potential dangers.
