It is what we do to tiles that makes them slippery. Soap or shampoo build-up can cause this problem. A stainless steel shower tray can also be slippery when build-up occurs. A degree of caution is always necessary i.e. use a bathmat. Remember that wet lino or concrete are also slippery. Choose a tile you feel comfortable with. “Grip” or slip resistant tiles are usually designed for outdoors and will be difficult to keep clean indoors.
