There is a big risk of slipping ceramic tiles! How to treat ceramic tiles anti-slip?
In 2018, the Suzhou People's Court accepted a personal injury compensation case. The plaintiff Wang and his friends were dining in a private room on the second floor of a restaurant. At about 23:00 that night, Wang went out of the box to go to the bathroom. Because the floor was slippery after the waiter mopped it, Wang fell and was injured at the stairway on the first floor when going down the stairs. Wang was sent to the hospital that night and diagnosed with "fracture of the lower part of the left patella of his left leg" and was hospitalized for 11 days.
The People's Court reviewed the personal injury compensation dispute case and ruled in accordance with the law that the defendant restaurant should compensate the plaintiff Wang for 17,413.79 yuan in medical expenses, lost wages and other economic losses.
The reason for the court's decision is: If the manager of a restaurant's public place fails to fulfill its safety protection obligations and causes damage to others, he shall bear tort liability. The court ruled that the defendant shall bear 60% of the compensation liability for the plaintiff's losses. The defendant restaurant compensated the plaintiff Wang for a total of 17,413.79 yuan in medical expenses, hospitalization food subsidy, transportation expenses, lost work expenses, escort expenses, nutrition expenses, etc.
With the widespread use of floor tiles in daily life, personal injuries caused by slippery tiles are also increasing. The surface of ceramic tiles is smooth. Walking in contact with water will cause great safety hazards. It is easy to slip and fall. The normal method is to lay anti-skid mats on the tile floor. However, anti-skid mats tend to hide dust, are difficult to clean, and have a short service life. It affects the appearance and treats the symptoms rather than the root cause.
How to do anti-slip treatment for ceramic tiles?
First, choose ceramic tiles with reliable quality and good anti-slip properties.
First, understand the friction coefficient. The anti-slip properties of ceramic tiles depend on the friction coefficient of the ceramic tile surface. According to national standards, the friction coefficient of ceramic tiles can be divided into 5 levels. It is necessary to choose anti-skid ceramic tiles with a friction coefficient above 0.5.
The second is to measure the water absorption rate. Pour some water on the back of the selected non-slip tiles and use your mobile phone to time it. After waiting for five minutes, you will find that there is no obvious change in the water marks, indicating that it has not penetrated into the interior of the tiles, and the effect is good.
The third is the foot test. When purchasing anti-skid tiles, discuss with the store first. You can walk directly on the tile surface to test the anti-skid effect. If it feels slippery when walking, it proves that its anti-slip properties are not good.
The fourth is to choose big brands. "You get what you pay for, and one brand has one value." Generally speaking, the bigger the brand, the better the product manufacturing process and quality, and the better after-sales service.
Secondly, there are methods for anti-slip treatment of ceramic tiles.
First, pay attention when mopping the floor. Mop wet and then mop dry, or ventilate and blow dry before mopping.When walking, be sure to keep the floor tile surface dry. Floor tiles with moisture or oil stains are easy to slip.
The second is to use floor anti-slip agent.
Ground anti-slip agent, as the name suggests, is a material that can prevent slipping. This kind of anti-skid agent can be applied directly on the floor tiles, and the construction is simple and time-consuming. After application, the anti-skid effect of the ground can be greatly enhanced. During construction, just clean the floor, apply the anti-skid agent directly on it, and wait 2 An hour will do. A CPC anti-slip agent now appearing is a good choice.
The construction method of anti-slip treatment for floor tiles is:
Step 1: The floor to be constructed needs to be cleaned. If there is waxing, the wax on the surface needs to be cleaned first before construction;
Step 2: Apply anti-slip product. During application, you need to apply it evenly and maintain a certain thickness. Calculate the time for moisturizing. If the area becomes dry, it needs to be repaired in time;
Step 3: Anti-slip treatment for ceramic tiles After the construction is completed, it needs to be left to dry for 1 to 2 hours;
Step 4: Tile anti-slip treatment project After inspection by a professional master, there is no problem. Clean the floor with water. After the floor is dry, it can be used.
The above is the knowledge about anti-slip treatment of ceramic tiles. Increasing the friction coefficient, adding anti-slip agents and other methods can prevent slipping. I believe you should have a general understanding of this aspect. If you want to know more, please pay close attention to China Ceramics Network.
