Maybe it\u2019s the shower tray, the garden patio, or the hallway on a wet morning, that sudden loss of grip always comes as a surprise. That\u2019s why FILA has developed two new solutions designed to make surfaces safer without altering their appearance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FILA has come up with two new ways to stop slips before they happen \u2014<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.filasolutions.com\/eng\/products\/full-range\/waxes\/anti-slip\/progrip\"><b>PROGRIP<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.filasolutions.com\/eng\/products\/full-range\/waxes\/anti-slip\/easygrip\"><b>EASYGRIP<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. They\u2019re designed for the kind of smooth floors most of us have somewhere at home, like porcelain, ceramic, or granite, adding a little extra grip that makes them safer to walk on without changing how they look.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They both do the same job, just in different ways. If you\u2019re a professional handling big projects or heavy-use spaces, <\/span><b>PROGRIP <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">gives you the control and confidence to get the job done right. <\/span><b>EASYGRIP<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is all about making life easier. It works perfectly for those smaller spots around the home or site that just need a little extra grip.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They combine FILA\u2019s technical expertise with everyday common sense, helping anyone create safer surfaces at home or on site.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why Slippery Surfaces Need a Smarter Fix<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We love the polished look of porcelain and granite, but their smooth surface has a downside, once water\u2019s involved, things get slippery fast. From pool areas to bathroom floors, it\u2019s a common problem that calls for a smarter, longer-lasting solution.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Until recently, solving the problem of slippery tiles meant settling for a visible fix, a coating here, a rough finish there, that always came with a compromise. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.filasolutions.com\/eng\/grip-line\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FILA\u2019s Grip Line<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> takes a gentler path. It works on the surface, reshaping it ever so slightly to increase grip while keeping its original beauty untouched.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-44890 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/pexels-yankrukov-7020013-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"525\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/pexels-yankrukov-7020013-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/pexels-yankrukov-7020013-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/pexels-yankrukov-7020013-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/pexels-yankrukov-7020013.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PROGRIP: Professional Strength, Proven Results<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Built for professionals, <\/span><b>PROGRIP <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">was created to take the worry out of slick floors. It keeps busy spaces safe without changing how they look or feel. When it goes on, it quietly reacts with the surface, giving it a bit of hidden texture, not something you can see, but something you\u2019ll notice underfoot when the floor\u2019s damp.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll really see what <\/span><b>PROGRIP<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can do in those stubborn spots that always seem to stay damp, the patio that never quite dries after rain, the steps that stay slick, or the pool edge you tread carefully around. Once it\u2019s been applied, there\u2019s no visible change at all. The surface looks just the same as before, but the moment you walk on it, you can feel the difference, steady, secure, and sure underfoot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><strong>The Places That Need It The Most<\/strong><\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Porcelain tiles<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ceramic tiles<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Granite and siliceous stones<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Typical Applications<\/strong><\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Poolside areas<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Outdoor ramps, stairs and pathways<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Busy public entrances<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spa and wellness areas<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><strong>How It Works<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This trade-grade formula is a ready-to-use, quick-acting liquid treatment. Before application, the surface should be cleaned thoroughly using the appropriate FILA cleaner (such as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.filasolutions.com\/eng\/products\/full-range\/cleaning-products\/detergents\/deterdek-pro-2\"><b>DETERDEK PRO<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for porcelain tiles for limescale or cement residues or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.filasolutions.com\/eng\/products\/full-range\/cleaning-products\/detergents\/ps87-pro\"><b>PS87 PRO<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for unpolished natural stone for organic dirt or a film caused by improper maintenance). A test patch is always recommended, as different materials react slightly differently.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The product begins reacting within one minute of contact, so even large areas can be treated quickly. For correct application, work in smaller sections of around 1 to 3 square metres, using the joints as a guide to keep each area even. A single litre covers roughly 8 to 10 square metres, making it ideal for larger or high-traffic areas. Once applied evenly, it\u2019s rinsed and neutralised using a diluted <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/en\/routine-maintenance-guide-for-commercial-flooring-including-the-ph-neutral-cleaner-to-use\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">neutral detergent<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.filasolutions.com\/eng\/products\/full-range\/cleaning-products\/detergents\/cleaner-pro\"><b>CLEANER PRO<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The result is a slip-resistant surface that looks exactly as it did before treatment but performs far better underfoot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For professionals, that mix of speed and precision really matters. It keeps downtime to a minimum, preserves the look of the surface, and gives you confidence that safety standards are met.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-44882 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/progrip-1024x554.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"525\" height=\"284\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/progrip-1024x554.png 1024w, https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/progrip-300x162.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/progrip-768x415.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/progrip.png 1056w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">EASYGRIP: DIY-Friendly Safety for Smaller Spaces<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not every slippery surface needs an industrial solution. Sometimes it\u2019s the small details that make the biggest difference, a shower tray, a tiled doorway, or the floor around an outdoor tap. That\u2019s where <\/span><b>EASYGRIP<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> comes in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Designed for DIY users and smaller trade applications, this treatment works in much the same way as <\/span><b>PROGRIP<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> but with a gentler formulation that\u2019s easier to handle and apply. It\u2019s perfect for homeowners who want to improve safety in specific spots where water collects or where people often walk barefoot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Where to Use It<\/strong><\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Porcelain tiles<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ceramic tiles<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Granite<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Typical Applications<\/strong><\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Porcelain or ceramic shower trays<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Doorways, boot rooms and hallways<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All household floors<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><strong>How It Works<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This DIY-friendly formula is ready to use straight from the bottle. Always test it first on a small, hidden area and protect any nearby surfaces before you start. Clean the area thoroughly, then apply an even coat with a brush, adding more product if necessary to prevent the surface from drying out. Leave it to react for around ten minutes, then remove any residue and rinse thoroughly with clean water.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each 500 mL bottle treats up to 3 m\u00b2, making it ideal for targeted applications like entrances, bathrooms, or wet-room areas. Because it\u2019s water-based, it doesn\u2019t leave a layer sitting on top. As soon as you rinse it off, the surface is ready to go, clean, dry, and safe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-44858 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/easy-grip-1024x549.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"525\" height=\"281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/easy-grip-1024x549.png 1024w, https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/easy-grip-300x161.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/easy-grip-768x412.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/easy-grip.png 1055w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tried, Tested, and Trusted<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Behind every FILA innovation lies extensive testing. The Grip Line has been evaluated on more than 40 materials, including both porcelain and natural stones, under real-world conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Slip resistance was measured according to the UK and European standard UNI EN 16165, which uses a pendulum test to determine the friction level of walkable surfaces. Results showed a significant improvement in slip resistance after treatment, confirming that both products deliver reliable and measurable safety gains.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s worth noting that these treatments are not suitable for polished or lappato porcelain tiles, as their surface structure prevents a consistent increase in friction. For best results, always test on an uninstalled or hidden area before proceeding with full application.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Importance of Testing and Application<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every surface is different, which is why testing before treatment is one of FILA\u2019s golden rules. The microscopic abrasion that gives these products their grip-enhancing power must be carefully timed and evenly applied to avoid over-treatment or colour changes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For professionals using the higher-strength option, this means running a quick one-minute test to determine the correct contact time. For DIY users working with the Grip Line\u2019s lighter solution, a 10-minute test area ensures that the surface reacts as expected before continuing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both products require clean surfaces and consistent coverage. Once the treatment is complete, a final rinse with a neutral detergent ensures all residues are removed, leaving the surface ready for use.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With proper maintenance, the anti-slip effect remains permanent, making these treatments a one-time investment in long-term safety.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-44874 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Untitled-1024x627.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"525\" height=\"321\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Untitled-1024x627.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Untitled-300x184.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Untitled-768x470.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Untitled.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why Two Products?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both treatments are built on the same idea, giving floors better grip without changing how they look, but they\u2019ve been designed for different kinds of users.<\/span><b> PROGRIP<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is made for the professionals, the ones tackling big spaces where precision and timing really matter. <\/span><b>EASYGRIP<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, on the other hand, brings that same technology ideal for smaller jobs or quick fixes around the home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At their core, they both reflect what FILA has always stood for: reliable performance, clever innovation, and a real respect for the natural beauty of every surface.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-44866 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/grip-line.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"386\" height=\"364\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/grip-line.png 386w, https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/grip-line-300x283.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 386px) 100vw, 386px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Surfaces that Stay Safe and Beautiful<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The launch of the FILA Grip Line reflects the brand\u2019s ongoing commitment to creating safer, more durable environments without compromising aesthetics.
