Are Concrete Floors Slippery?

The truth: They can be, especially when wet, but no more so than vinyl, linoleum, marble or ceramic tile floors.

The reality:

Application of a high-gloss sealer to protect and enhance decorative concrete may reduce traction somewhat, but that's easily remedied by mixing a nonslip additive into the stain or sealer before application (see Making Concrete Slip Resistant).

Advanced Concrete Enhancement in Sun Valley, CA

Kept clean and dry, polished concrete floors are generally no slicker than plain concrete surfaces. And they tend to be less slippery than waxed linoleum or polished marble (see Can Polished Concrete Be Slippery?).
