Testimonials
Quick, clean and well executed job, the coating is not easily seen but very effective in terms of grip. One of if not the only company to do a travertine specific coating as far as I found. Would recommend 👍🏻

From the first time we contacted Michael at SlipSafe the service has been professional and pleasant. Everything was explained and carried out as requested. We are very, very happy with the end result and our non-slip pathway is now no longer a serious concern. Thank you Michael and Christian.

Residential FAQs
How do I know if my floor is too slippery?

You do not need to replace your floor. SlipSafe solutions are designed to improve slip resistance on your existing surface, saving time and money.
Are SlipSafe products safe for kids and pets?
Yes. Once applied and cured, all SlipSafe products are completely safe for everyday use around children and animals.
How long will SlipSafe treatments or coatings last?
Most solutions last for several years. The exact time depends on the product, the surface, and the amount of foot traffic. Many are backed by warranties for extra peace of mind.
Which SlipSafe solution is right for my floor type?
