After making a mistake and installing a continuation of my indoor floor tile outside our front do...
After making a mistake and installing a continuation of my indoor floor tile outside our front door and on our back patio we have had to constantly have to cover the tile with indoor/outdoor carpeting as it was so slippery. We have had incidents of many slips and near falls due to the tile surface being extremely slippery when wet either from the weather or when guests would exit our pool. Even just wet bare feet or flip-flops were a hazard! Having to annually replace the carpeting as to wear and mold growth (we're in South Florida) was just a given. I came across this product and as a last resort decided to try it before I go through another years expense and annoyance of replacing the indoor/outdoor covering, again...
Now that you know my story about the areas needing coverage and what we've been doing these past twenty years, the opportunity presented itself to try something new. Not another covering like carpet or a product that would just 'coat' the surface and need recoating every year or two. Plus those coatings would wear as well as look different than the original. Additionally, with the buildup of those coats and to remove that buildup to prepare the surface again presented a nightmare hence the annual use of nearly 260+ square feet of carpeting on those areas always was the easy way out, until now!
Finally, a product that promised to solve my issue? I was extremely skeptical of it's claims, to say the least!!!
My first task was to insure that I was free of all dirt, grime and grease that might be on the tile that I would treat. Keep in mind that I was using this not only on the front alcove of my home, about 64 square feet (see attached photo) but also on an 8 foot by 24 foot tiled area between my pool and rear entrance to my home. Over the years we played, ate & drank, applied sun tan lotion and had dropped whatever on those surfaces. They have seen bleach and all sorts of pool chemicals, automotive oils and polishes, fertilizer and weed killer and whatever one would use outside the home both in front and by the pool area. So, before I even started with the instructions for the use of the product I had my handyman, using EcoLab's ProForce Concentrated Heavy Duty Degreaser soak the areas that I was going to treat then cleaned using a gas powered 3200PS pressure washer to those areas twice on two seperate days so I know that the area was completely clean and I was down to the tile surface as it was installed over 20 years ago.
Now for the installation and application of the InvisaTread/TractionWash Kit to see if it would do as it claims it would? Due to it's small size I started on just the front entrance area of my home and applied the TractionWash following the instructions, simple enough but being very weary of the claims I did a second TractionWash to insure that everything would be perfect to accept the final coating. I used about a 1:12 mix of the cleaner concentrate.
Using my own (new) sprayer (one was not supplied in the package I received) I coated the smaller 64 Sq Ft area full strength with the InvisaTread and timed for a 20+ minute set insuring that the liquid InvisaTread would remain liquid and not dry on the surface before, as the instructions state, washing down that area. The spray bottle allowed me to spray areas as they started to appear to dry so I suggest you do the same.
I was not immediately impressed with the results BUT the instructions and a call to the manufacturer (very helpful people!) suggests a second application which was done the following day with a 20+ minute wait before the final rinse with their product as instructed in their literature. This time the results were pretty much as claimed!
In order to do this 64 Sq Ft area I used a total of about 1/2 pint of their cleaner and about a little under a full quart for the two coats using a spray bottle. I also made sure of full coverage by having a small sponge wet by the solution to wipe (using disposable latex gloves) over the entire area after the second spray application to insure that I achieved 100% coverage. Total work time was less than one hour!
Results: The very next day it rained and as you can see in the attached photo we just have a sisal "Welcome" floor mat before the step up to the entryway and a floor mat by our front door. For the first time in twenty years we can see the tile that was installed and we are completely satisfied! Hopefully our pool area will work just as well (that's this weekend's project which I intend to do three 20 minute coats, just in case. I estimate it'll take under two hours) and if this product needs and annual refreshing so be it, for us it is worth the cost both in appearance, safety, time and money!
This item comes in kit form with both the wash and coating as well as the coating being available separately.

After looking at the active ingredients of the product, it contains phosphoric acid, it might less expensive to simply purchase the phosphoric acid and etch the tile. Overall I would say it has met my expectations.

Appearance of product is good easy to useOur bath tub was extremely slippery and we were tired of mats and other stick on items to prevent slipping. When I saw this product I got excited. It was easy to apply and no major prep except cleaning . The first coat did not impress me at all so I reapplied and the results were better but still not satisfactory, I applied a third (3) coat and that made a big difference seems to do the job. I will put a new coat on in about 30 days just because I have some left and want to see how it will work.

Two stages for successI was surprised when I got the product that they thought ahead to have you wash the area first, AND included the prewash, no guessing. I had slipped multiple times on my front porch, even the dogs slipped when it was wet. I bought a large rug thinking that would help, well, it did but was ugly as heck. To the rescue InvisaTread. Washed my porch first, then applied as directed. I used the sprayer that came with it. I have no idea how long it took to dry, as I went out right after I did it to get more supplies, but when I came back about 2 hours later it was dry. I am happy with it, I sprayed liberally and now I don't slip, thank goodness!
I have some pebble concrete in the back that is slick when wet, I might try it next!

This slip resistance kit is designed to help reduce the risk of slip and fall accidents. It contains InvisaTread, TractionWash, 1 pump sprayer nozzle and application instructions. It is a safe and effective process that worked on our bathroom tile surface. It is a nice touch that the kit includes the washing solution to prepare the surface. I followed the directions and it was very easy to apply and after it dried, it was virtually invisible and provided excellent traction! Let it set for 16 minutes and it is ready for use. I highly recommend this product.

I have been working on my front terrazzo steps this winter and the final step was washing the stairs when this product came along. I was a bit skeptical at first, how could such a product work on steps like mine? I followed the directions and the washing solution got a lot of dirt off of what I thought were clean steps. I applied the InstaTread and let it sit for 16 minutes. As I was waking down the stairs with the hose, doing the final wash down, I noticed it: My wet shoes weren't going anywhere! It really works when wet!

Our garage floor gets very slippery if any moisture gets on it and it becomes very dangerous after rain or if the car is wet when put in the garage. I was ready to purchase a very costly runner to put over the most heavily walked areas but then discovered this product. We followed the directions to a T. It was very easy to apply and after it dried, it was virtually invisible and provided excellent traction! I highly recommend this product.

This two bottles are, one for cleaning and another one is the main product to do the slip resistance. I did 2 test area to get the maximum time. In both case I decided 16 minutes and its work. I feel on the tile that this make the tile lighter. With this slip resistance work, I finished the cleaning of tile joint and everything look perfect. Its improvement.
