Thank you very much. I'll research this and use it on an extra tile before committing to it. Again, many thanks.

Not at all

Definitely try first on spare ones as I also did

and if it doesn't cut it-safety trumps everything..redo the tile, what can you do

but i do hope will work to your satisfaction. wonder whether still will be as glossy as now..what the material does, in my understanding-it slightly abrases the surface..

read the reviews too, there are many

please share your results if you'll have time for it..

Yes! Will do!

I made the same mistake and I'm using rugs on my bathroom floor. I had chosen a non-slip porcelain tile from Dal-Tile, but my designer steered me toward a more attractive textured porcelain tile from Ann Sacks. Turns out the tile I put on the shower walls is non-slip, but the floor tiles are very slippery when wet. I slipped the first time I took a shower in my remodeled bathroom.

plan2remodel I don't know your designer but I'm really mad at her(him?) now..

we didn't have a designer(that was hard btw..lol)..I picked very textured mosaics from Ann Sacks for the shower floor, and -after the longest search and consideration-custom terracotta for the bathroom floors..custom meant the store not only made the tile, but was able to texture it more according to what we asked them..that was a huge PITA to find a tile that would fit the style of the house, wouldn't look as an afterthought, and won't be slippery..but in the end was so very worth it.

If I was able to reseach the issue and tailor the tile to my needs and to my space-your designer suppossedly more aquainted with available resources could do so much better

maybe try this Slip Doctors stuff as well? it's awful being afraid of your own house

last shower we had we inherited from previous owners..wasn't very very slippery but wasn't what I'd choose..simple white tile you know? I was miserable every time I took a shower. We brought in a teak chair but I was afraid to use it because I was afraid of it's slipping..even though my husband did put non slip pads on its legs and all. I didn't feel safe sitting, didn't feel safe standing..

so when we remodeled this new house(gut remodel)-I poured enormous time and others resources into making the bath as safe as possible

yes this terracotta is porous can chip more easily and all but I'd rather have imperfect tile than broken hip

sorry..I obviously feel strong about safety issues in general, and in bathrooms in particular

it just made me sad ..one has a rare opportunity to remodel, a designer who should be very sensitive to all the issues, and it's obvious right away that a very important part was missed.

(I also saw some bathrooms when we were house-searching last time, where people obviously put wall tiles on the floor-that's the worst. I could hardly walk there, and the floor was obviously very dry, house vacant and all. These things are maddenning. )

Really appreciate your comments and relate to them too! I'm sure many do. I haven't purchased the no-slip stuff yet, but I'm pretty sure it will work in this small floor space. I love the way my bathroom looks so that's a plus. Life is in the way right now & travel beckons, so my post re: the application will be in a month or so. Safety IS so important as we age, and I too am surprised that some designers don't include that in their considerations.

Has anyone used slip doctor in their shower ?
