The Treatment to Give the Granite Tiles Non-slip

Slip could be said that is a great problem for the home interior flooring, especially that there are child or elder at home, it is dangerous. So many homeowners are confused that if they could flame theirs to make the non-slip look.Well, the answer is yes, a "flamed" finish on granite will make the surface less slippery and give you better traction. A polished surface is very smooth and slick when wet. A flamed finish is rough and will provide decent traction even when very wet. Actually, any type of natural stone surface finish besides "polished" will provide decent non-slip traction.Depending on how wet the surface is likely to be, the best idea is to install "honed"s. A honed finish can be a bit slick with a lot of water on the flooring, but generally it provides a good non-slip floor tile surface. A honed granite will also be easy to find and install. It is very common to use honed granite and marble tile even for bathroom floor tile.
A honed surface is far easier to clean, maintain and repair if ever needed, plus it will be much cheaper than a flamed finish, which requires a lot of work.Another tip is to use smaller tiles. If you use 12x12 inch or larger tiles, then the surface finish is very important, then slip resistance is a concern. But, you can easily improve this by using mosaic tiles, which will provide an excellent non-slip surface even when polished. Well, not so much the tiles themselves, but all the grout lines give good traction. Of course, installing mosaic tiles over a large surface will be very expensive and won't be as solid of a floor requiring more intensive granite care and maintenance. But you don't have to use such small tiles. Even using 6x6 inch or 8x8 inch honed granite tile will make safe flooring with low risk of slip and fall accidents.
