Like most surfaces, when they get wet they can tend to get a little slippery. DekTek Tile is no different, but do not be alarmed! This is a very EASY SOLUTION! If the tiles are going to be installed in any of these applications, or if you're concerned about slippage, it's very important to add the non-skid material to these applications:
- If you get snow and use your deck in the winter
- If your deck is exposed to rain
- Around a pool deck
These applications listed above definitely need to be made non-skid, but we do recommend adding the non-skid grit to all applications. All that needs to be done is to add the recommended amount of grit to the sealer when the tiles are first sealed. This will give the tiles the non-skid surface you are looking for! You can usually find the sand-grit where you purchase the concrete sealer. One option that you might consider is Shark Grip available online.
