How to make outdoor floor tiles non-slip?

Oct 01, 2005 4 Replies

Hi.



My mother-in-law has just bought a house which has a porch step tiled. It's an area approx 3 metres square. However, these tiles are very slippy when wet. The previous owner obviously didn't use the correct tiles.



Anyone got any advice on making these non-slip (as much as possible).



TIA.

Are they glazed, or quarry tiles which have been dressed/polished?

I think they're glazed. Difficult to tell as they are not highly polished; - just slippy!
