Trusty Step Anti-Slip Treatment

[Cameron DeMille]

I started stocking a "new" product that I have been using for nearly 10 years called Trusty Step. It is a non-topical etching treatment that adds significant traction to surfaces when they are wet. It is applicable to Granite, Porcelain, Ceramic and other surfaces.

Here is the product page: http://www.easystonecare.com/Trusty-Step-Anti-Slip-Treatment-p/trusty.htm

The treatment does affect the finish/shine. Depending on the type of surface being treated, the required dwell time will vary. My dad has a floor he recently installed that needs this treatment on about 10,000 feet, so we did 4 samples with different dwell times to determine which was the best option.

Here is a video that shows the different finishes. The dwell times were 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes. The problem with the tile is that it is slippery around the pool when wet and on the inside it is difficult to keep clean and smudge free. You can see the first tile in the video is a little smudgy and each additional tile has a more consistent finish.




If anyone has any questions about this, or anything else, just let me know.

I'll keep this in mind.

I've applied that product to a few floors, no complaints.


I should promote it here in Nevada more...Can it be sprayed on icy driveways? Busted my ass and knees twice this week.

Probably not the most cost effective option. Heated driveways should be a thing

Trusty Step has a 4 year guarantee. Not exactly sure the requirements, but I wouldn't expect it to last long without proper maintenance. The tiny little pores and stuff get clogged with dirt and buildup and reduce the effectiveness. Perfect to sell a maintenance plan.

Hey Cam, I see you don't have TML listed?

I have done a bit of testing with different products, and none seem to work effectively on trav

We did a job where the contractor brought in a "expert" on slip and fall and he measured the coefficient? With a device..Of trav with different product we tested.

From that test, I know with bare foot, what will pass and what will not (when wet)
