At SWAN SWIM SCHOOL INC. in Newmarket, the lobby floor was a safety hazard waiting to happen. With kids and parents walking in dripping wet from the pool, the smooth tile surface turned into a slip-and-slide. The owners knew they had to fix this before someone took a hard fall. On top of that, the constant exposure to chlorine, moisture, and foot traffic meant the tiles were at risk of long-term wear and staining. They needed a solution that wouldn’t just enhance safety but would also protect the tile from daily exposure to water and chemicals.
We applied a high-performance anti-slip tile coating, which created an invisible grip enhancement to make the floor safer without altering its original look. After thoroughly deep-cleaning the tile to remove soap residue and contaminants, we applied the anti-slip coating, ensuring increased traction even when wet. To protect the tiles from moisture damage, staining, and wear, we finished the job with a polyurethane protective coating. This sealed the surface against chlorine, heavy foot traffic, and cleaning chemicals, making it low-maintenance, highly durable, and safe for swimmers, parents, and staff. Now, the lobby isn’t just slip-resistant—it’s built to last.
“Bro, imagine a bunch of kids running around on a soaking wet tile floor… Yeah, not exactly ideal.”
That was the exact situation at SWAN SWIM SCHOOL INC. in Newmarket. Their 830 sqft lobby looked great, but the smooth tile turned into a legit ice rink whenever kids and parents walked in straight from the pool. And let’s be real—it only takes one bad slip for chaos to break out. On top of that, the constant exposure to water, chlorine, and high foot traffic was wearing down the tiles, making them harder to clean and more prone to long-term damage. The owners needed a solid fix—something that would make the floor safe while keeping the clean, polished look of the tiles intact.
“Time to give this place a serious upgrade.”
First, we hit the deep cleaning phase, stripping away any soap residue, dirt, and contaminants to make sure the coating bonded perfectly. Then, we applied a high-performance anti-slip tile coating, designed to increase traction without changing the tile’s appearance. No ugly, rubbery finish—just invisible grip that keeps everyone safe. Finally, we sealed the deal with a polyurethane protective topcoat, making the floor water-resistant, chlorine-proof, and way easier to clean. Now, this lobby is safe, durable, and built to handle years of wet feet, heavy traffic, and poolside chaos—without a single slip-up.
