Slippery when wet

[scrapple]

Just noticed again today how our front entrance is hazardous when it rains. The area leading to the front door is a smooth tile that becomes very slippery when it rains, or from the sprinklers.
Is there some thing to coat the tiles with to improve traction? I hear there is a substance to apply to driveway coatings, not sure if it works for tile. Or should the tiles get ripped out and replaced with something other?

Yes go to a paint store or a big box and ask in the paint section/

You should really adjust your sprinkler heads so that they only spray in the direction needed. It's a easy fix. If you don't know how to do it, just ask one of your neighbors. I'm sure they will help.

That doesn't solve the problem. I can't stop the rain from getting the tiles wet. I need to find out what to do with the tiles to prevent them from becoming so slippery

Years ago, our condo association used a product like this to micro-etch the entrance area. It has worked like a charm, with no unwanted side effects.

There are some good products out there that can work. I bet even a sealer, and spreading sand on it could work. Also can grind it to make it rough. A smooth tile is not good for outside, even when it doesn't rain. Humidity can get on tile, and make it slippery. Best bet is go to Home Depot-Loews and see the products they have. Good luck, no matter what you choose, as long as you fix the problem.
