Slippery tiles laid on the floor in the bathroom or kitchen do not allow you to feel safe in your own apartment.

BelNovosti online publication expert designer Yulia Tychino told what to pay attention to during renovations so that you don’t have to redo them after just a couple of weeks.

The smartest solution would be to choose tiles that are non-slip.

To do this, you don’t have to touch each tile sample – just carefully examine the packaging.

On building materials with an anti-slip surface you will find a corresponding symbol.

However, even a smooth tile with such a mark, if wet, can turn into a skating rink, which is why experts advise choosing tiles with a rough texture for decorating the bathroom and work area in the kitchen.

If you have overlooked this point and have already laid slippery tiles on the floor in the bathroom and kitchen, try to correct the situation by applying a special anti-slip agent to them.

Alternatively, lay rubber mats on the floor to help prevent falls and injuries.
