^Probably says 3M on it and the adhesive is just fine

Tape won't work.

don't see why not, I have seen it in public places and it seems to wear well

just a few strips across the walking area, about 15/20 cm apart

I think grinding the surface, or etching the tiles, would be good too, but make it difficult to clean properly

jandajoy · 06-11-2009, 08:20 PM

Swap the tiles out for external non-slip tiles.

Boon Mee · 06-11-2009, 08:37 PM

maybe farang houses should lay down recycled teak boards right from the start and forget the tiles on safety grounds. especially if you are an elbow bender prone to drunken bouts .any ideas on the prices differential ?i have had a few close shaves as have other family members thats why they all walk with a stoop when leaving the bathroom

DrAndy · 07-11-2009, 02:27 AM

Whats an elbow bender?

A mate built a house in Isaan and in the first month his FiL slipped arse over tit in the bathroom, whacked his head and killed himself.
And he was the only decent one in the whole damn family.

I would take out the slippery tiles and replace them. Every other solution is third rate compared. Especially in a country where the new tiles are the largest cost factor.

Here the labour would cost several times more than reasonable tiles so I do it myself.

We had very slippery tiles in the front of the house and sala when we bought the house. Fixed now.

No more information forthcoming?

Are the original tiles under all that? Or did you rip them up and start again?

It must have cost a fortune ? So much so that you've had to replace the motorcycle with a bicycle. I hope you get a new one soon.
