The anti-skid problem of bathroom floor is very important. Today, I will share with you some practical anti-skid methods for your reference.

01

Anti-slip floor tiles

The bathroom uses water frequently. If the floor tiles themselves are smooth, they will become even slippery after being touched with water!

①It is recommended to choose matte tiles: This type of tile has a flat surface, is easy to care for, and is not too smooth at the same time.

②The tiles are too big to find slopes: Consider using smaller bricks such as mosaic bricks and hexagonal bricks, which have higher friction coefficient and better anti-slip effect.

02

Wet and dry separation

Separating wet and dry areas, controlling the water vapor in the wet area in the shower room, and keeping the floor in other areas dry can effectively reduce the risk of slipping. You can start from two aspects: the ground and wall:

①Ground-mounted water retaining strip: You can choose stone water retaining strips or long floor drains;

②Do a good shower partition: If conditions permit, it is recommended to install a glass shower room. If the space is too small, you can also consider using a shower curtain.

03

Shower area anti-slip

If the floor of the shower area is used for a long time, if it is not cleaned in time, it is easy to remain shampoo and shower gel, resulting in the slippery floor. To improve the safety of the shower area, the following measures are recommended:

① Lay anti-slip mats: For bathrooms that have been decorated, laying anti-slip mats is a lower-cost option, but the aesthetics may be slightly worse.

② The ground is grooved: There are criss-crossing grooves on the surface of the grooved brick, which can not only speed up drainage, but also increase the friction of the soles of the feet.

③ Laying anti-corrosion wood: Lay a layer of anti-corrosion wood on the floor of the shower area, which feels comfortable and non-slip, but it will have certain requirements for the floor height and the cost is relatively high.

04

Install safety handrails

When putting on and undressing clothes before and after bathing, you need to stand on one foot. If the ground is slippery, it is easy to fall. If there are elderly people at home,It is recommended to install handrails next to toilets, shower entrances, and dressing areas。

Handrails can not only help the elderly borrow strength when walking, greatly improve safety, but also provide support and reduce injuries in case of accidental slip.

05

Routine cleaning and maintenance

Clean frequently! Clean frequently! Clean frequently!

In a bathroom that has not been cleaned for a long time, after the dirt on the ground accumulates, stepping on it may be as slippery as “skating”! Therefore, in addition to keeping the bathroom floor dry, daily cleaning must not be lazy.

Although the bathroom area is small, it is the place that can best reflect the quality and care of home life. Therefore, its decoration and safety details must not be ignored.
