Making an existing tile floor non-skid?
The people who owned my house before me tiled the kitchen floor with slippery ceramic tiles (like the ones on your bathroom walls) and the slightest couple of drips of water create a truly hazardous situation. Is there anything you can buy to make such a floor "non-skid" without making it look hideous ?

If the tiles that were used were indeed the 4 1/4 inch shinny (wall) tiles,they are not recommended by the manufacturer for use on any floor.but i looked on line and found a few products .slip tech was one. i'm not sure if any topical product will work or not on a shinny surface as yours and what it may look like.if you decide to do this, try the product out in an test area first, preferably in a out of sight spot. if you want to look online ,i looked at floor tile+non slip coating and hit search

If replacement is out of the question for the moment, you might consider taking non-skid adhesive tape such as this; http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1vZ1xg1/R-10021... and cut in to appropriate shapes for the kitchen such as pots, pans, rolling pins etc.
This would solve the issue and give the kitchen floor a unique look.
Hope that helps!

New floor. Buy epoxy thinset and the new tile can be set over the old.
