Can these gripper pads be used to keep a toilet safety bar from sliding on ceramic tile floor?

I used these on the legs of my new sofa and I have tile floors and the sofa does not move at all so I think they would work for you. You can cut them to the size you need.

Hi Robert, I did actually try to use part of these for stopping a toilet from bumping into the wall, and it did help. Unfortunately they didn't grip very well for their intended purpose, which was to stop a sofa from dragging on the wood floor. I think as a bumper, they are fine, for non-skid traction, not so good.

The pads will keep the bar from slipping - to a point. They will slide with enough pressure. I have them on the legs of a table. My 11 year old grandson still manages to slide the table.

Robert, it will only work if the toilet safety bar has a perfectly flat surface to attach to. I have been very disappointed with them. Everyone I put on has come off. But, I did not have a flat surface. I think it will be fine if used with a flat surface.

The tile itself can be slippery. However, the small size of each individual tile allows for enough "grip" between the grout lines that I would feel very comfortable and safe using it in and around my shower.

I would think they will not work in that type situation. Must be able to slide on smooth surface.

I don't find that they are slippery. They are thick and heavy weight. I use them at the entrace/exit of my walk in shower so suck up any extra moisture on the floor. I would think that any rug or mat of the floor can potentially become a trip hazard but which is worse slippery wet floor or potential trip hazard in a bath mat. We love the 2 bath mats we have.

I've been using them on my ceramic tile with now problems. I'm sure it would not harm any bathroom service, it's made of a plastic material.

I am using these on porcelain tiles and hardwood floors for the last few months ... So far, they are none the worst for wear. I have the glue on pads on a couple of bar stools for the last 3 years and they too are holding up well.

My two mats hold well, but then they are against the toe-kick under the counter on one side which helps keep them in place. I have never had any problem with them sliding either way, and I have porcelain tile floors.

We used the handle grip on the shower stall and it has worked wonderfully and is a great help. We have not used it on tiles.

These are typically for soft surfaces, like carpeting or rugs. For tile I would use something softer, like a felt or rubber product.

No. For laminate floating floors mainly. Would also be fine for tongue and groove flooring as a moisture barrier

I would say that these pads are meant for protection, not for sliding (however, I have not tried to slide with them :)

Since a metal surface would tend to make it easier for any cushion to slide (these don't have ties on the back corners), you could simply cut a piece of rug grip and place it between the metal & the cushion to prevent any movement. I hope this answer is helpful!

I wouldn't use them for that purpose. There is a slightly raised pattern on them (making them great for a non-slip surface). They are great on a basement floor to add a level of comfort for joints when doing plyo, aerobics, placing fitness machines on as well as layig a yoga mat on. But I don't think they are the type of mat designed well for Jiu Jitsu or wrestling.

Did not use for that purpose but would suspect that they would. Certainly keeps the floor from getting marked up.

I don't think so.. The grout in between every small piece is going to make it less slippery.. I have this in a small bathroom and have no trouble

I would think so as long as there is a rim to attach the bar. My tub is ceramic and absolutely no problem. It's a wonderful safety bar--two grabbing areas--need to be certain it is tightened as much as it can be. Perhaps you're concerned that the fiberglass might crack?? How about cushioning it with rubberized netting--used as kitchen drawer liners, also under rugs that could skid.

I have these and I have them on my 4" ceramic tiles and they stick like gorilla glue! Once you lift up on the levers, it'll be easy to remove and move with you if you move but mine are stuck there tight as long as I leave the levers down. I would say it'll be perfect for your son!
