Anti Slip Tiles FAQs

• What Styles Are Available for Non-Slip Tiles?

  Anti-slip are available in ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone. 

  
  

  Colour choices range from neutrals to earthy tones, blues and greens, to shades of grey from light to charcoal. 

  
  

  Sizes range from small mosaic tiles to large format tiles.

  
  

  At Amber, we carry a selection of anti-slip tiles for indoor and outdoor use. Many of our tiles feature patented anti-slip StepWise™ technology. This provides a high slip rating without compromising the smooth texture often desired for easy cleaning. 

  
  

  Our StepWise™ tiles are available in various colours and patterns.

  
  

  We also offer porcelain tiles with non-slip characteristics and the option of an anti-slip finish for wet areas like pools and decks. These square and rectangular tiles are available in a range of sizes.

  
  

  Our non-slip and anti-slip finish porcelain tiles are inspired by these natural stones:

  
  

  • Travertine 
  • Marble 
  • Concrete  

• Which Tile Is Best for Non-Slip?

  Porcelain tiles with a high slip-resistance rating are generally considered the best option for non-slip flooring.

  
  

  Ceramic tiles can also provide good slip resistance, but their performance can vary depending on the specific type and finish of the tile. 

  
  

  Tile finishes that are more textured and have a rougher surface tend to be more slip-resistant than smooth finishes. For example, tiles with a matte or honed finish are often more slip-resistant than those with a polished or glossy finish. Tiles with a natural stone or slate-like finish can also provide excellent slip resistance due to their textured surface. 

• What Other Names Are Non-Slip Tiles Called?

  Apart from "non-slip" and "anti-slip", some other names used to describe slip-resistant tiles include

  
  

  • Grip tiles
  • Textured tiles
  • Slip-resistant tiles

  
  

  At Amber, we carry a range of tiles featuring StepWise™ technology. This patented manufacturing process enhances the slip resistance of tiles by creating micro-treads on the tile's surface that provide more contact points for feet, shoes, and other surfaces.

• How Do You Clean Anti-Slip Tiles?

  1. Sweep or vacuum your anti-slip tiles. 
  2. Use a mop or damp cloth with a mild detergent to gently clean your floor. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or tools that could scratch your tile's surface. Try Amberclean for general cleaning and our Doddle bug cleaning tool.
  3. Rinse your mop or damp cloth thoroughly with clean water, then go over your floor to remove any soap residue.

• How Do You Make Tiles Anti-Slip?

  Tiles can be made anti-slip by applying a special coating or treatment to the tile's surface. These treatments include acid-etching, sandblasting, or the application of a sealant or anti-slip coating for tiles.
