They create a micro-texture that increases grip when the floor is wet, without changing how the tile feels or looks visually. There is no visible difference to the surface when dry or wet, but the added grip is felt when water is present, which is when the risk is highest. That&#8217;s important in spaces where design and cleanliness still play a big role, and homeowners don&#8217;t want to compromise on appearance.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">For professionals working on aging-in-place projects, <\/span><\/span><\/span><b><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">PROGR1P <\/span><\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span dir=\"auto\" style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">is ideal for treating larger tiled areas such as walk-in showers or full bathroom floors.
