Types of non slip epoxy flooring

Type	Best for	Keep in mind

Broadcast quartz, sealed	Wet areas, kitchens, ramps and walkways	Rough texture holds dirt, harder to clean
Flake with grit in clear coat	Homes wanting a decorative look with grip	Flakes alone give only mild texture
Textured acrylic anti-slip paint	Ramps, stairs, decks and pool surrounds	Works as a primer, grip and clear system
Polyurethane screed	Wet food and beverage production areas	Specialist install with falls and drains
Fast-cure MMA resin	Kitchens needing very short downtime	Product-specific; confirm installer is trained

Non slip epoxy floor materials and specs compared

Material	Strengths	Watch out for
Standard quartz, 0.4–0.8 mm	Hard-wearing, chemical resistant, non-skid texture	Subtle grip; coarser grades for heavy use
Large quartz, 0.7–1.2 mm	Stronger grip for heavy-use commercial floors	Rougher underfoot and harder to clean
Aluminium oxide grit	Industrial additive, blended in or broadcast	Ask for the grit size in writing
Polyaspartic or polyurethane sealer	UV-stable cover over grit outdoors	Ask how many sealer coats go on
Moisture-resistant epoxy base coat	Protects the grip layer from damp slabs	Needs a moisture test first

Grit size and grade

Fine quartz suits low-traffic areas; coarser grades grip better under heavy use.
Common quartz grades run about 0.4–0.8 mm and 0.7–1.2 mm.
Rougher texture grips more but traps dirt and is harder to clean.
Barefoot areas such as pool surrounds suit fine to medium grit.

Proving the grip

Ask for a wet pendulum test value; 36 or higher means low slip risk.
SANS 13036-4 is the South African pendulum test standard.
Barefoot and shoe sliders give different results on the same wet surface.
Ask for results on the actual finish at the thickness you will get.

Wet areas and cleaning

Wet, dry and drain zones in food areas often get different specs.
Use a soft brush or rotary machine with a white, tan or red pad.
Sweep daily and damp-mop weekly with a pH-neutral cleaner.
Avoid stiff scrub pads because they abrade the coating.

Approval for non slip epoxy flooring

Building regulations exempt ordinary maintenance and upkeep from plans and approval.
Changing slabs, drains, falls or a building's use needs your municipality's building control.
Food premises floors must be smooth, impervious and cleanable under regulation R638.

Practical non slip epoxy floor tips

One supplier specifies roughly 1.5–2 kg of quartz per m² for heavy broadcast.
Light mixed-in grip is about 5% grit by weight of resin.
Loose grit is swept off before the final sealer coat goes on.
Fast-curing MMA systems can cure in about an hour for kitchens.
Smooth self-levelling epoxy turns very slippery when wet, so grip must be specified, even on a decorative metallic epoxy finish.
Book a contractor inspection once a year to check wear and grip.

Frequently asked questions

What does non slip epoxy flooring cost per m²?

Grit additive finishes run about R80 – R150, broadcast systems R150 – R300 and profiled epoxy or polyurethane R300 – R600+. Heavy-duty industrial non-slip is quoted around R280 – R500.

How long does a non slip epoxy floor last?

Quartz-reinforced epoxy floors are quoted at 10 to 20 years when installed and maintained well. One acrylic anti-slip supplier offers 5 to 10 years, with upkeep every 3 to 5 years.

Do I need approval to add a non-slip coating?

Ordinary maintenance work is exempt from plans under the building regulations. Ask your municipality's building control if you change drains, slab or use.

Is flake epoxy already non-slip?

A flake epoxy floor gives only a mild texture. For real grip, ask for grit in the topcoat or broadcast quartz.

Will a rough non-slip floor be hard to clean?

Rougher grades trap more dirt, so choose the finest grit that passes your wet test. A soft brush or rotary machine with a light pad keeps it clean.
