Anti-Slip Floor Paints

Anti-slip floor paints are essential coatings for increasing surface safety across commercial, industrial, and public environments. These safety floor paints contain fine aggregates - such as polymer beads, silica, or aluminium oxide - that are suspended within the coating to create a textured finish. This finish significantly improves grip underfoot, especially in wet or high-traffic areas. Anti-slip paints are not just a precaution - they are a necessary safety measure where slipping risks could lead to serious injury, particularly on ramps, steps, stairwells, and flooring exposed to oils, water, or chemicals.

Anti-Slip Floor Paints for Safer Surfaces at Work & Home


Anti-slip floor paints provide vital protection in areas where safety underfoot cannot be compromised. Designed for use across a variety of demanding environments, these coatings offer long-lasting slip resistance by integrating durable aggregates within the paint film. Unlike traditional paints that prioritise coverage or appearance, anti-slip variants focus squarely on traction, safety compliance, and accident prevention. Commonly used in environments such as logistics centres, manufacturing plants, leisure facilities, and schools, they help reduce workplace incidents and uphold public safety guidelines.

These coatings are available in several specialist types to meet differing site needs, such as kitchen floor paints for home, commercial or industrial areas. Epoxy formulations provide high strength and resistance to abrasion and chemicals, suitable for forklift zones and spill-prone areas. Acrylics are ideal for lighter-duty areas requiring a quick turnaround and UV stability, such as shop entrances or outdoor paths. Polyaspartic and MMA variants allow rapid curing, even in low temperatures, and are well suited to car parks or public transport hubs requiring minimal downtime. Surfaces like concrete, wood, asphalt, and metal must be correctly primed before application to ensure strong adhesion. The choice between solvent-based and water-based systems hinges on site conditions and ventilation. Colour-coding can also be used to mark safe zones, walkways, or hazard areas.

These paints are not only a practical upgrade but a regulatory necessity in many sectors. As slips remain one of the most common workplace hazards in the UK, anti-slip floor coatings serve a critical function, supporting site safety, reducing risk, and delivering compliance in one robust solution. Technical support is recommended to specify the correct system for your site’s needs.

Anti-Slip Floor Paint FAQs


What surfaces can anti-slip floor paint be used on?

Anti-slip floor paint can be used on concrete, wood, metal, asphalt, and GRP surfaces. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, such as with garage floor paints, making it a versatile solution for various environments.

Can anti-slip floor paint be used in wet rooms?

While most anti-slip floor paints are not designed for bathrooms, some can be used in wet rooms. Always check the product specifications to ensure suitability for wet environments. These paints are formulated to provide slip resistance even when exposed to water and must be suitable for the surface you have to paint.

Can I apply anti-slip floor paint myself?

Yes, anti-slip floor paint can be applied by DIY enthusiasts. However, for large or high-risk areas, professional application is recommended to ensure optimal results. Proper application techniques and surface preparation are crucial for achieving the best results.

How do I prepare the surface before applying anti-slip floor paint?

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of contaminants. Roughen smooth surfaces to provide a key for the paint, and use appropriate primers if required. Proper preparation ensures better adhesion and longevity of the coating. Refer to the product data sheet of the product you’re intending to use for full details.

Can anti-slip floor paint be used on steps and stairs?

Yes, anti-slip floor paint is ideal for steps and stairs, providing a secure footing and reducing the risk of slips and falls. These coatings enhance safety in both indoor and outdoor staircases, making them a crucial addition to high-traffic areas.

What maintenance is required for anti-slip floor paint?

Regular cleaning with mild detergents is recommended to maintain the anti-slip properties. Avoid abrasive cleaning tools that can damage the surface. Periodic inspections and touch-ups of worn areas can help maintain the effectiveness of the coating.

Is anti-slip floor paint resistant to chemicals and oils?

Many anti-slip floor paints offer resistance to oils, grease, and mild chemicals. Always check the product data sheet for specific chemical resistance information. This feature is particularly important in industrial settings where spills are common.

Can I use anti-slip floor paint in high-traffic areas?

Yes, anti-slip floor paint is suitable for high-traffic areas. Choose a product with a high durability rating for best results in such environments. These paints are designed to withstand the wear and tear of frequent use, ensuring long-lasting safety.

How can I increase the slip resistance of my floor paint?

Adding additional aggregates, applying multiple coats, and ensuring proper surface preparation can all increase the slip resistance of your floor paint. Following the manufacturer's recommendations can also help achieve the desired level of slip resistance.

Can anti-slip floor paint be applied over existing coatings?

Yes, provided the existing coating is compatible, in good condition, well-adhered and the surface is properly prepared. Abrade the existing surface to ensure good adhesion of the new paint. This approach can save time and resources while maintaining a safe surface.

Can I apply anti-slip floor paint in cold temperatures?

Yes, but be sure to choose a product that is specifically capable of application in low temperatures. Most standard anti-slip floor paints require a minimum temperature for application, typically around 5°C to 10°C so wouldn’t be suitable. Always check the product specifications for the recommended application conditions. Proper application conditions are crucial for achieving the best results.

Totally met my expectation. I now feel safer when coming down the steps from my garden. Can thoroughly recommend this anti slip product (Coo-Var Suregrip Anti-Slip Floor Paint).

Excellent patio paint (Flag Heavy Duty Elastomeric Floor Coating (Anti-Slip)), prompt delivery, cheaper than ones I tried before but longer lasting.

Customer feedback from Petra M on Trustpilot



Great product (Smartkote Safekote). Used on fibreglass and stuck well providing a safe non-slip surface without being abrasive.

Customer feedback from Jeremy H on Trustpilot



Very pleased so far with the results. The paint (Coo-Var Anti-Slip Acrylic Floor Paint) has been used to rejuvenate and change the colour of a large stone patio. It was applied easily with minimum fuss. The results are stunning having transformed a dirty, dull patio to one with a great colour and what seems to be a robust, anti-slip surface. Only time will tell how this will fare but I am optimistic I will not be disappointed.
