Is it suitable for tumbled travertine pool deck tiles? Will it make the surface of the tiles too slippery? Thanks!

We used this on a new pool coping install of OK flagstone. We were originally going to go with travertine (even though it cost twice as much)because it is so nice, but, we couldn't find any colors we liked and it was a problem cutting because of the hardness. Anyway, I can only commenton this product as it relates to OK flagstone. The label DOES list travertine as a suitable surface. It didn't make our coping slippery at all. Just broughtout the colors quite a bit and sealed. Travertine is less porous and smoother, though, so I can't say what its affect will be on that. Our pool is fairly small and 3 coats around the pool used about a third of the container. I hope this helps you. Good luck! We used this on a new pool coping install of OK flagstone.

Gee I hope not. This is exactly what I used on our tumbled travertine next to the pool. In fact I have used this throughout the entire house. Kitchen, bath, living room, backsplashes.... We have tumbled travertine inside and out and have used this product by the gallon everywhere. This is a terrific sealer enhancer and haven't really noticed that the floors are any more slippery when wet. We replaced ceramic tile in the bathrooms, which was defiantly slippery when wet, but this product on top of the travertine is by far less slippery. We live in Arizona and due to uv we may have to re-apply outside more often but that's yet to be seen. Gee I hope not. This is exactly what I used on our tumbled travertine next to the pool.

When this product is applied, it is very slippery when wet. Although the product looks great applied and does a wonderful job sealing... I would not use it next to the pool.

No. I used it for my balcony and shower in travertine, and it was not slippery

Ideally elevease needs a SMOOTH surface to ensure secure fixing to your tiles and as such we would not recommend it if the surface is too uneven. Regards Elevease

This is a great product for making slippery tile less slippery, however, if you have a glossy tile, it will take away the shine and you have to be very careful on dark tile to make sure you apply evenly or it will look stained. Proper application and attention to detail makes this a great product for slippery tile.

Yes. The rougher the surface, the better the grip. Ours has gripped ceramic tile for several years with no problem, and it's smoother than travertine. That said, if you ever decide to remove it, you may have a tedious job picking the silicon out of the little pits in the travertine.

I would not recommend this for a deck for a few reasons: 1. It is very soft, even when cured. It would handle the weather great, but would be destroyed by foot traffic very quickly. 2. It is a High Gloss (think glasslike) finish and I would think VERY slippery when wet. 3. It is very expensive, and you'd need multiple (8+) coats to build it up. I would check with the manufacturer to see if they have a different product suitable to your needs.

This is a little hat to reply to as I don't know the donation or type of floor. I used the swifter on laminate flooring which did NOT make the floor slippery. This is a cleaner! I bought another Swifer for my hardwood floors up in N.E. The finish on the floors itself, can make the floors slippery until they are dried but I would not blame the Swifer. Let it dry!

I only used these tiles to cover a small table top. I would think they would be very slippery when wet. Coveri g old tiles? I don't think that would work.

This is only to be used for for restoration/damaged wood. If the floors have been previously coated in a polyurethane coating (typical non-wax type floor treatment), it will bead up and ruin your floors. But the good news is it won't make your floors slippery :)

We use it in our walk in shower. it is not slippery at all. It feels very nice under your feet and is much better than standing on a cold slippery tile floor. it is sealed so water does not build any moisture. we lift it every so often and let is stand against the wall so it dries out completely. we have no complaints. it makes our shower feel like we are in a spa.

I don't know for sure, but I expect that it would. I used the spray on a cement surface that had been painted with epoxy paint. The epoxy paint made the surface shiny and slippery, which is why I needed to make it non-slip. Presumably, this would be similar to the glazed surface of tile.You might want to try it on a small area first, or even a spare piece of tile that you can throw away if the results are not satisfactory.Hope this helps.

I have a pebble sheen pool surface (the less rough version of pebbletec) and it works great.

Quick Google search on polishing travertine says to do it with diamond grit pads of increasing fineness. That's what this set has. I've only done marble and it works great.

I have used it. Slippery when wet, of course. Dry, it was fine. No observable residue, but my floors are light.

Yes I used this on my slate floor tiles and they turned out very nice. However make sure if you have current sealer on them that you spot test it some where first, they may interact with each other causing it to gum/bubble up.

The tiles are beautiful but thin...I personally don't think that they would be durable enough for a floor application. hope this is helpful.

Yes, that is what I have. It was very slippery even with rubber mats as they would not stay in place. We ordered enough of the product to cover every tile, and I a no longer afraid to use this shower. Product a little expensive but cheaper than ripping out tiles and replacing. Hope this helps you make a decision.

It is not slippery on my tile floors. Having said that I am not sure it would be appropriate for outdoor granite steps if they are subject to the weather. With all the pollution in the rain now it might cause wear on the polish. This might be a question for the manufacturer.
