Is it easy to apply? How is the SLIP-X-21 ® applied?
Our 5-step SLIP-X -21® process for tile floors is really one-of-a-kind. Nobody cleans and strips your floors like we do. Four of the processes either clean or strip the floor. We clean the grout too. Our specially trained technicians arrive, usually at night, in uniform and in company trucks. We do not use subcontractors. Using our applicators, floor machines and wet vacs, they apply our special scientifically formulated chemicals to your floors.
Is it “one type fits all” product ?
Our SLIP-X-21 ® process comes in 7 different grades depending on the type of tile. Ceramic is different from quarry, concrete is different from porcelain, and so on.
What do the chemicals do?
SLIP-X-21 ® interacts with siliceous molecules on the top of your tile surface, creating millions of suction cups for greater tractions.
How much traction can I expect?
Realistically, we will change your COF (Coefficient of friction) on wet surfaces 2-4 fold.
Are you etching my floor?
Molecular structure of the top of the tile is classified as an etching chemical. SLIP-X-21 ® is scientifically formulated as a good etching chemical that does not break down the molecular floor structure.
I had my floors done and they looked lousy!
Not with SLIP-X-21 ® !!! Other companies use high acidic bases that scorch your floors. Beware!!!
What will my floors look like?
Fantastic!!! Our chemists have been formulating SLIP-X-21 ® since 1960's.
Are my floors really going to look good?
We guarantee it. We give you a limited 1 or 5 year guarantee and yes you will be pleasantly surprised with the look of your newly treated floors.
How long does it take to finish my floors?
Usually one night. We need to start in the customer area by 8 PM to finish by morning. Just cleaning the floors can take over 3 hours. (special conditions may differ)
What is the cost of Anti-Slip Solutions Process?
Each surface has its own characteristics and we will conduct a "no-obligation" on-site test to determine the treatment required. At that time, based on application ratio and square footage, a price can be given. We can also demonstrate our product on a sample area at no charge.
Is this the most effective way to reduce slip/falls?
Yes! For many years, the only means for reducing slip/falls was by application of epoxy of other roughed substances, by installation of unsightly strips of grit paper, or expensive carpet runners, or rubber mats that need continuous replacement and generally are not attractive.
How soon can my floors get done?
Pick up the telephone and call: 1-800-376 2030 and we will schedule your floors promptly.
