i am just about to rent my house out to a young couple as i am moving in with my partner. I own a Victorian terraced house which is set back from the road. Between the front door and the road there is a tiled path, which is the original path and is very stunning. The problems is that if it gets icy then the path can become slippery. i don't not want to rip up the path if i can help it, so i was wondering if anyone had any advice as to whether there is a product which can be sprayed on or painted on and that is see through on the market that will last for a good period of time and make the tiles non slippy. #

thanks in advance.

thanks in advance.[/quote]i would use unibond mixed with building sand dries clear but please try a little patch first and only apply when dry and not frosty.

thanks for taking the time to reply

when you say unibond do you mean the PVA adeshive? sorry there are many unibond products.
