Surface Treatment for Ceramic, Porcelain, Natural Stone and Concrete Floors
Clean Seal Australia is the leader in anti-slip solutions for tiles and concrete, providing Melbourne homes and businesses with safety and peace of mind.
Our anti-slip tile treatment passively penetrates and changes the surface of the concrete or tile to reduce slip hazards. When the tile or concrete surface gets wet, a suction effect is created between the sole of the shoe and the anti-slip surface. The wetter the surface…, the more effective the grip – making our anti slip surface treatment suitable for pool surrounds, bathrooms, kitchens, entrances and foyers (to name a few areas).
An anti slip floor treatment can be applied to most tiled surfaces, including ceramic tiles, marble, granite, porcelain tiles and terrazzo. Polished concrete can also be treated to reduce the slip hazard.
Anti Slip Floor Treatment
An anti-slip tile treatment is a solution that is put on the surface of tiles to make them less slippery and safer to walk on, especially when wet.
The anti-slip treatment works by adding micro-texture or changing the tile’s surface to make it less slippery without changing the tile’s look. There are different ways to stop people from slipping, such as:
Non-slip coatings: These are put on the tile’s surface to make a clear, non-slip layer that makes the surface stickier. They can be made with water or a solvent; some have substances like fine aggregate particles to make them less likely to slip.
Acid-etching treatments involve putting a mild acid solution on the tile’s surface. The acid reacts with the material to make tiny holes and a rougher surface, which makes it easier to grab. Most of the time, acid-etching methods are used on ceramic or porcelain tiles. However, not all tiles are suitable for this type of treatment.
Penetrating sealers: Some anti-slip treatments are made to go through the tile’s surface and form a link with the material that makes it less likely to slip. This doesn’t change how the tile looks. These sealers work well on many types of tile, including marble and natural stone, and they normally keep the tile’s original look. This is our preferred method of anti slip tile treatment.
Anti Slip Treatment for Concrete
Concrete is a flexible, long-lasting building material commonly employed in commercial and residential flooring.
However, polished concrete has a disadvantage: it can become slippery, especially when wet. Fortunately, this problem can be efficiently managed with an anti slip concrete treatment.
At Clean Seal Australia, we use penetrating sealers to get into the concrete surface, forming a slip-resistant bond with the material without altering the appearance.
These sealers are compatible with various types of concrete surfaces and preserve the original aesthetics of the floor while improving safety.
Penetrating sealers can protect against moisture, stains, and surface degradation, prolonging the life of the concrete floor even further.

Frequently Asked Questions About Anti Slip Floor Treatments
As a general guide, the anti-slip treatment will last for 2 years. However, this can increase if the correct cleaners are used on the surface, as they contain a small proportion of the grip additive. As the floor is being cleaned, the cleaning product tops up the grip effect, enabling the treatment to remain in premium anti-slip condition for many years.
If the anti-slip treatment gets covered over by contaminants like grease, fats & oils or a soap build-up from the use of incorrect cleaning products, then the floor can become slippery & dangerous again.
Anti slip floor treatments can be applied to ceramic, porcelain, marble, natural stone, terrazzo and more. They can be applied to commercial areas and in residential homes.
Most anti-slip treatments are designed to be transparent or have minimal impact on the tile’s appearance. However, some treatments, like acid-etching, can slightly alter the tile’s surface texture. Choosing a treatment compatible with your tile material and desired aesthetics is essential.
Proper maintenance is crucial to prolong the effectiveness of the anti-slip treatment. We will guide you on the correct cleaning products to use to extend the period of time between anti slip treatments.
Our anti slip floor treatments are formulated to be eco-friendly, water-based, and low in VOCs (volatile organic compounds).
Anti-slip treatments can be applied to both indoor and outdoor tile floors, providing improved safety and slip resistance in various environments. They are particularly useful for pool surrounds, patios and outdoor entertaining areas.
Client Testimonials
I rang this company looking for advice on cleaning our sandstone/concrete capping on a retaining wall in our courtyard and spoke to Aaron who was extremely helpful in offering advice on how this can be done. Very professional and helpful.
Gloria Jackson
Clean Seal cleaned our dirty pool sandstone paving and sealed the pavers they returned on request to ensure the job was completed properly. They have a professional understanding of this area of work and I would recommend them.

I had my kitchen bench top shined up and sealed by Joshua at Clean Seal and it looks absolutely amazing. I had a dull natural man made stone that always looked quite drab. It now looks like high quality polished stone! I am soooo happy! Aaron was my first point of call who explained their new sealant product to me and was very informative and helpful. Emm made all my bookings and was very efficient. Joshua performed the job and was a perfectionist, taped everything up beautifully and took his time to do a wonderful job. Would recommend them to anyone!

We recently used Clean Seal Australian to clean the asphalt around our office which was recently renovated. There was a large amount of render and concrete left on the public asphalt which needed to be removed for council. Clean Seal Australia were fantastic to correspond with, and came to site very quickly, managing to remove all render from the asphalt. Thank you team, fantastic job. Highly recommended.
Lachlan McNeil
Rare to find a company that offers such good customer service.. From initial contact to job completion, the whole process was was positive and efficient. The office staff were knowledgeable and answered all my questions comprehensively. There was a delay in sealing due to weather, something that is a hazard for this work.I was kept fully informed of rescheduling promptly and efficiently. Aaron completed the work on a Sunday, to ensure that the job was completed without further delay to me the customer. Aaron and his team need to be congratulated on their attention to detail and customer service. I have had this work done by other companies and none have delivered the results that clean seal have. Added bonus their price was competitive. I would have no hesitation in recommending them for paving cleaning and sealing. Thank you Clean Seal

Aaron was responsive, knowledgeable and professional. We had a difficult oil based stain to remove from pavers. Aaron asked all the right questions, and then decided to come after work on the same day I called him, as the treatment was time sensitive. Unbelievable dedication to customer service and his craft.
