Frequently asked questions
What is anti-slip floor treatment?
Anti-slip floor treatment aims to improve the grip of an existing surface. Suitable tiles may be treated without replacement after a test patch; concrete and asphalt may need a textured coating. Rayson supplies coating materials and introduces independent applicators for assessment and installation. Tile-treatment products are supplied by the applicator.
Can HDB bathroom tiles be treated without hacking?
Suitable, sound tiles may be treated without removal. The applicator must first identify the tile, assess residues and test a small area. Loose tiles, drainage problems or damaged surfaces may need repair instead. Surface treatment does not repair a failed waterproofing layer.
Will anti-slip treatment change the tile appearance?
It can. The result depends on the treatment and surface; a polished finish may lose sheen or change appearance. Approve a discreet test patch before full application. Natural stone needs its own compatibility assessment.
How long does anti-slip treatment last?
There is no single lifespan for every floor. Treatment chemistry, traffic, cleaning and contamination affect performance. Ask the applicator for care instructions, inspection intervals and written warranty terms for the specific treatment.
How much does anti-slip floor treatment cost in Singapore?
Goodrich Global’s 10 April 2026 guide lists tile treatment at S$2–4 per sq ft and aggregate coatings at S$3–6 per sq ft. These are guide figures, not Rayson prices or a verified market average. Small bathrooms may have a minimum charge. The applicator quotes for your surface and agreed scope.
Can the floor be used on the same day?
Some tile treatments allow a short return-to-use period, but it depends on the product, cleaning, rinsing and drying requirements. Coatings need their specified cure period. Obtain the applicable time in writing before scheduling the work; do not assume same-day access.
What about eldercare corridors and wet kitchens?
Assess each zone separately. Barefoot use, mobility aids, grease, hot wash-down and cleaning methods can require different finishes. Existing tiles need a compatibility test; a heavily used kitchen being refurbished may need a textured epoxy or PU-cement system. Plan access around the people using the space.
Is GripSafe AP12 a treatment for glazed bathroom tiles?
No. GripSafe AP12 is an acrylic primer filler containing 0.5–1.5 mm silicate quartz for suitable substrates including concrete and asphalt. A treatment for glazed tiles is a separate product supplied by the independent applicator. Consult the product TDS for the coating route.
Does treatment guarantee a slip-resistance rating?
No rating should be assumed from a product name or photograph. Specify the required test method, condition and acceptance criteria. Wet pendulum results and shod ramp R ratings measure different conditions and are not interchangeable. Where a project needs documented performance, agree appropriate testing and a report.
Who installs the treatment and provides the warranty?
Rayson supplies coating materials and introduces independent applicators. The applicator assesses, quotes, invoices, installs and provides its own workmanship warranty. For glazed tiles, the applicator supplies its selected treatment product; it is not a Rayson tile-treatment product.
