Long-Lasting Invisible Slip Protection
Guard Slip Resistant is a professional-grade anti-slip treatment designed to improve safety on slippery mineral surfaces without changing their natural appearance. It works by reacting with the surface to create microscopic traction channels, increasing grip underfoot while maintaining a clean, natural finish.
Ideal for areas exposed to water or heavy foot traffic, it is commonly used on tiles, stone, concrete, pavers, and other hard mineral surfaces where slip risk is a concern.
Key Benefits
When safety matters, Guard Slip Resistant offers a simple, effective solution that doesn’t compromise appearance. It’s ideal for both residential and commercial applications where reducing slip risk is essential while preserving the natural look of the surface.
- Effective in one application
- Does not alter the materials
- Long-lasting effect
- Non-corrosive and non-irritant
Safer Surfaces in Wet Conditions
Guard Slip Resistant significantly increases surface grip, helping reduce the risk of slips and falls in wet, damp or high-traffic environments.
Invisible Finish
The treatment does not form a coating or film, meaning it won’t change the look, colour or texture of the surface.
Durable Long-Term Performance
Once applied, the slip resistance effect is long-lasting, providing ongoing safety benefits without the need for regular reapplication.
How It Works
Guard Slip Resistant reacts with the silica in mineral-based surfaces to create microscopic abrasions that improve traction. This process enhances grip without leaving any visible residue or altering the surface finish.
FAQs
Guard Slip Resistant modifies the microscopic surface texture of tiles, stone and concrete to significantly increase grip when wet. It creates silica nodes that chemically bind to the surface. It is much safer than traditional anti-slip treatments that acid etch and thereby damage the surface of the material.
No. This product requires silica in the surface to bond effectively, and marble typically has very low silica content. For marble, it is usually better to improve grip through mechanical or chemical etching, then restore colour and protection using a product like ProtectGuard WF Premium.
Yes - shower recesses are one of the most common applications. A 1 litre bottle is sufficient for a standard shower recess. Also suitable for bathroom floors, pool surrounds and any hard surface that becomes slippery when wet.
Guard Slip Resistant must be applied to the raw, unsealed surface first.
The correct sequence is: apply Guard Slip Resistant first, allow to cure, then apply your chosen sealer.
Yes. It is suitable for glazed ceramic and porcelain tiles in both indoor and outdoor covered areas. However, it is a treatment rather than a sealer, so correct application is essential—keep the surface damp during reaction and thoroughly rinse off excess before it dries.
No. The product relies on bonding with silica in the substrate. Painted or sealed surfaces prevent this reaction. It is not suitable for non-porous, painted, or coated surfaces, and may leave a light residue if used incorrectly.
It may create a light off-white residue on darker surfaces as the silica nodes formed are white in colour. It is important to consider this before applying on decorative or coloured finishes. If you dilute the product you can achieve a lighter application which still provides some grip but with less colour change.
Longevity depends on traffic and wear. Maintenance can be carried out as needed by reapplying a diluted solution (1:4 ratio of product to water) to boost slip resistance whenever required.
Guard Slip Resistant does not carry a specific slip rating certification because the final result depends on the initial texture of the substrate. For compliance-critical applications, have the treated surface tested with a slip meter after curing. Additional applications can then be used to achieve the required slip rating.
