I just installed outdoor tiles at our entrance door. I made sure that I bought "outdoor" tiles because it's supposed to be less slippery than indoor tiles, but my family still finds it slippery when wet.

I was told that there are anti-slip treatments for tiles, especially for bathrooms. I went to Wilcon to look it, but I couldn't find one.

Any ideas? Products, tips or tricks?

Re: Slippery Tiles

On outdoor tiles, is there a different or special kind of grout recommended than for indoor use?

Whether for outdoor tiles or indoor wet area tiles, I assume that it is a good idea to put some kind of grout sealer, right?

You can use ordinary grout, It is also a good idea to seal the grout to prevent algae build-up. HTH!

There was a 'Pye Anti-slip' being advertised at a recent expo, available at Globe International Distributor Center, 410-9158 to 60.

'Special intro' offer P1,500, regular price P2,000. Quantity unspecified.

I think 'Pye' is a Malaysian company, http://www.pyeproduccts.com/ .

I have no idea how it compares in price or performance to the mentioned GlobalSafe product.
