Micah,
If the stone is cleaned properly and sealed there should not be a slip issue. If the floor is not keep clean, a dirty floor can be a slippery floor. if the floor get wet then you have the chance of hydroplaning, even adding a slip element to the surface when wet you can hydroplane.
After the cleaning if you have a slip meter you will find the surface will exceed .50 which meets the slip resistance unless there is a wheel chair ramp then you need to meet at least .60 or greater.
With a clean floor you should have slip reading in the .55 or above. Which is safe.

Subject: [sccpartners] Anti slip for outdoor marble foyer
This foyer is over 100 years old we are cleaning and sealing it, they are asking about something that can help for slip resistance, any suggestions? I really did not want to put a topical sealer on this stone though.
Thanks
