Slippery Garage Floors
Smooth epoxy topcoats can feel slick when wet. Anti-slip additives at the topcoat stage add grip appropriate for the environment. Every slab is different, so recommendations depend on an on-site evaluation — we do not diagnose specific floors from photos alone.
Common causes
- Ultra-smooth topcoats
- Wet or oily conditions
- Slick entry areas from tracked-in water
How we approach it
- Add slip-resistant broadcast or additive
- Focus additive placement at entries
- Choose flake or quartz systems for natural texture
Preparation
- On-site evaluation of the concrete and any existing coating
- Moisture and adhesion testing where warranted
- Full mechanical preparation before any new material is installed
- Compatible repair materials for cracks, spalls, and pits
Frequently asked
Can we add anti-slip to an existing coating?
Yes. A new topcoat with additive can be applied over a properly prepared existing coating.
