Blackfriar Anti-Slip Deck Coating is a clear deck coating which allows the beauty of wood to show through whilst providing a slip-resistant surface. It also provides all types of exterior timber decking and walkways with a protective, slip resistant surface.
Containing micro-aggregates, this coating gives increased grip in wet conditions and can be applied over new or existing decking stains as well as bare timber.
Recommended Uses
Timber decking
Walkways
Preparation
Ensure surface to be treated is clean, thoroughly dry, sound and free from wax, oil or any other contamination. It is important that the substrate is thoroughly dry before application and during the drying period otherwise blanching (whitening) may occur. Existing coatings should be lightly sanded to aid adhesion. Weathered timber should be made good. On bare wood the use of a decking stain is recommended prior to application of Blackfriar Anti-Slip Deck Coating as this will give the wood better UV resistance and prolong the lifetime of the coating. Ensure new or bare timber is adequately preserved prior to applying wood finishes, apply Blackfriar Wood Preservative Gold Star (Clear) to untreated timbers where required.
Application
Stir thoroughly prior to use. For best results apply two coats by short pile roller. Allow the first coat to fully dry before applying a second coat. A brush may be used for small or awkward areas. Thinning not recommended.

Hey, can this product be used next to a swimming pool and be durable enough to withstand activities around a swimming pool?
Answer:
Assuming it is decking you wish to coat, Blackfriar Anti-Slip Deck Coating could be used however the grit particle in the coating could be quite abrasive for bare feet.
If you decide to go down this route, the timber must be completely dry and free from organic material, moss, mould, etc. before applying any coating. For best protection from UV we advise staining the decking with something like Blackfriar Exterior Wood Preservative Gold Star first followed by 2 coats of Blackfriar Anti-Slip Deck Coating.
Avoid any splashes of these products getting into the pool water during application. Once they have dried fully they should be OK to be close to the swimming pool itself.

Question:
can this be used over a painted deck.? The deck is already painted with cuprinol outdoor white wood paint and has permanent marker pen designs on it which I wish to preserve. Does this product allow the dirt and debris to be brushed, wiped, cleaned off more easily than on just painted wood? Thanks Tony
Answer:
The solvent in Blackfriar Anti-Slip Deck Coating may dissolve and smudge the permanent marker pen. You won’t know until you do a test, it may also discolour the Cuprinol paint slightly giving it a yellow tinge. Finally, the aggregate in Blackfriar Anti-Slip Deck Coating will make the surface more difficult to clean, not easier. Another product to consider would be Smartkote Safekote.

Question:
Can you tell me if the product is toxic to fish. Our decking hangs over the pond and we might be in danger of spilling some of the product in the pond when applying. Thanks
Answer:
Yes the solvent in the Blackfriar Anti-Slip Deck Coating is harmful to aquatic life. You may be able to cover over the pond below the decking to catch splashes. The cover should be kept in place for several days until the coating is hard. It may be advisable to apply the coating during warmer weather next spring. The coating will dry quicker and the decking will be drier.

Question:
Hello, My decking in my garden is giving my son splinters every time he in out on it barefoot. I really like the colour of the natural wood so I am not particularly keen on painting it a colour. Is there anything you can suggest? Thanks, Jennifer
Answer:
Blackfriar Anti-Slip Deck Coating would be our recommendation as it is a clear, protective surface coating that will seal the wood. The surfaces would need to be sanded smooth if you have any areas where the wood is damaged and causing splinters. We have no testing or experience of this product being used specifically to stop splinters so cannot offer any guarantees on performance but it will allow you to keep the look of your decking and provide a sealed, anti-slip surface to the wood.

Question: You say that anti-slip deck coating can be applied over decking stain but can it be applied equally well over decking oil provided there is some delay between applications? If so, how long to leave after applying the oil, please? Thanks.
Answer:
No, it must not be applied over oils or waxes.
Karen on 03/10/2016
Question: Good Afternoon
I would like to know if you can use the clear Anti -Slip coating over decking that has already had a coat of cupranol decking stain
Regards
Karen
Answer:
As long as the Cuprinol product does not contain any wax, then Blackfriar Anti-Slip Deck Coating should be fine to apply. If it does contain wax you may be able to leave it to weather for approximately 6 months to allow any waxes to wear away and then apply Blackfriar Anti-Slip Deck Coating - be sure to carry out a test area prior to full application if this is the case.

Question: Dear Sirs
is that possible to use this anti-slip coating for the floors inside the private house?
And other question - how often is necessary to renew the coating?
Thank you in advance,

Answer:
We do not recommend the Blackfriar Anti-Slip Deck Coating is used on interior surfaces as it would provide a poor appearance and be difficult to clean. To provide a low slip finish internal we would normally recommend a matt or satin floor varnish would be a better option (such as Coo-Var Polyurethane Clear Floor Coating). The floor varnishes are quite hard wearing and should last a number of years before needing to be recoated in the high wear areas.
