Buying-stage answer

Anti-slip coatings add controlled texture to concrete or epoxy floors so wet, dusty, oily, or sloped areas are safer under foot or vehicle traffic.
Typical anti-slip coating budgets range from $45 to $140 per sqm depending on substrate prep, aggregate type, coating build, and area complexity.
The right texture must balance safety with cleanability; too smooth is unsafe, while too aggressive can be hard to clean or move trolleys across.

Service explanation

Surface Master specifies anti-slip systems using fine aggregate, aluminium oxide, quartz broadcast, flake texture, or heavier broadcast systems depending on traffic, cleaning, and slip-risk zones. Applications include ramps, loading docks, commercial kitchens, workshops, amenities, and wet process areas.

Pricing factors

Pricing is affected by the existing floor, preparation requirements, slip target, aggregate type, coating thickness, ramps and edges, staged access, repairs, and whether the anti-slip treatment is part of a new epoxy system or a recoating project.

Anti-slip preparation requirements

Identify wet, oily, dusty, ramped, pedestrian, trolley, and forklift zones separately.
Clean, degrease, grind, or remove failed coatings before applying texture systems.
Mock up texture where cleanability, bare-foot comfort, or trolley movement is important.
Confirm line marking, nosing, drainage, and transitions before coating starts.

Anti-slip failure prevention

Do not use one texture for every zone if safety and cleaning requirements differ.
Avoid applying anti-slip sealers over contamination, dust, or loose old coating.
Use harder-wearing aggregates in forklift, ramp, and turning zones.
Document maintenance expectations because worn texture may need future refresh coats.

Commercial FAQs

What slip rating can epoxy achieve?

Slip performance depends on aggregate, coating build, and test method. Fine texture suits general pedestrian areas while quartz or heavier aggregate suits wet and ramp zones.

Can anti-slip coating be added to existing epoxy?

Often yes, if the existing coating is sound and can be mechanically abraded. Failed or delaminating coatings should be removed first.

Is anti-slip epoxy hard to clean?

More texture improves grip but can hold more dirt. We help choose a texture that matches cleaning equipment and safety risk.
