Anti-Slip Floor Coatings
When a floor is wet, greasy or heavily trafficked, slip resistance stops being a nice-to-have. We spec anti-slip coatings from a subtle domestic R10 up to R13-rated food-prep and industrial systems.
Where this works
- Commercial kitchens & wet prep areas
- Swimming pool surrounds & wet rooms
- Ramps, staircases & external walkways
- Loading bays, workshops, dairies
- Retail entrances & disabled routes
How we install it
- 1Match the rating to the risk
R10 is a subtle textured feel — right for offices and dry retail. R11–R12 is the sweet spot for wet kitchens, bathrooms and pool surrounds. R13 is heavy-industrial and needs specialist cleaning.
- 2Grade the aggregate
The coarser the aggregate, the higher the rating — but also the harder the floor is to clean. We choose an aggregate size that hits your rating and still lets the floor be mopped without snagging.
- 3Broadcast & back-roll
Aggregate is broadcast into the wet build coat until refusal, then locked with a clear sealer once cured. This keeps particles bonded and stops them tracking out under traffic.
Common pitfalls we prevent
Frequently asked
What does R11 / R12 actually mean?+
DIN 51130 ramp-test ratings. R10 is a lightly textured floor; R12 is what most commercial kitchens use; R13 is used in wet food-processing where the floor is hosed down.
Can you add anti-slip to an existing floor?+
Often yes — if the current coating is sound we can lightly abrade, apply a bonding coat and broadcast aggregate on top. If it's failing, it needs to come off first.
Is it hard to clean?+
Only if the aggregate is oversized for the environment. Correctly sized, an R11 floor mops the same as a smooth floor — the peaks are low enough for a microfibre head to clear.
