Shower Safety Without Compromising on Style
Moisture and soap combined with smooth surfaces make a slippery shower a dangerous place in your home. People slip and fall in showers often. In fact, injuries in or near the bathtub or shower account for more than two-thirds of emergency room visits. So, if you've never treated your shower floor, it is time to think about the best way to safeguard the area before an accident occurs.
How to achieve a non-slip shower floor
There are several ways to increase traction to achieve non-slip floor tiles for showers. Some of these methods include:
Adhesive treads
Anti-slip adhesive treads are a common method for adding traction to a slippery shower floor. These treads are small tape strips that stick to the shower floor. The texture provides traction to keep you from slipping. They’re quick and easy to install and require very little maintenance.
Shower mats
The easiest way to make your shower floor less slippery is to add an anti-slip shower mat. These mats are usually affordable, easy to install, and immediately add texture to surfaces.
Invest in a new shower
You can always get a completely new shower with a different surface. Today, there are a variety of non-slip shower trays available to choose from. However, this solution can be highly expensive and can also take a long time to install. This means that you will have to make other bathroom arrangements while replacing your shower.
While some of these methods may be effective, all of them will change the look of your bathroom. Adding a non-slip rubber mat or anti-slip tape can, in fact, completely spoil the look of your stylish bathroom. So, how do you achieve a non-slip shower floor without compromising on style?
How to add traction to your shower without changing the look
You want your bathroom to look neat and clean all the time. If your shower is a key feature in your bathroom and you do not want to change its appearance, a clear non-slip coating is your answer.
Bathtub Grip
Bathtub Grip is the ideal solution for those that have slippery tile shower floors or trays. The non-slip treatment is ideal for increasing traction on ceramic and porcelain shower floors. Bathtub Grip can also be used to increase the slip resistance on enamel and porcelain bathtubs.
Tub Grip
Tub Grip is a non-slip coating for creating fiberglass and acrylic anti-slip shower trays. Its finish is a non-sticky barefoot-friendly coating that is ready to use in just 24 hours. Tub Grip starts off as a white liquid when applied and then finishes clear, leaving little-to-no change to the appearance of your shower. Tub Grip is also highly durable. Generally, a well-maintained Tub Grip covering will last up to two years or more.
