Anti-Slip Coatings for Garages, Ramps and Wet Areas
Slip ratings, aggregate grades and where an anti-slip coating is genuinely worth specifying.
How anti-slip coatings are built
Slip resistance comes from aggregate broadcast into the coating, not from the resin itself. Fine aluminium oxide gives a subtle grip that still mops clean. Coarser silica or polymer beads give a heavy grip suited to ramps and external walkways but hold dirt.
Choosing a grip level
Match the aggregate to the traffic. A domestic garage rarely needs more than a light broadcast; a commercial kitchen, car park ramp or pool surround does.
- Light broadcast for garages and workshops
- Medium for commercial back-of-house and gyms
- Heavy for ramps, loading docks and pool surrounds
Wet areas and standards
Commercial wet areas in Australia are assessed against slip resistance classifications from wet pendulum and oil-wet ramp testing. If your site is subject to a compliance requirement, we specify a system with published test results rather than a general purpose topcoat.
Keeping it clean
Textured floors need a stiff brush rather than a flat mop. Specify the coarsest grip you genuinely need and no more, or cleaning becomes the ongoing cost.

Anti slip coating — frequently asked questions
- How much does epoxy flooring cost in Tweed Heads?
- Epoxy floors in Tweed Heads usually run $60–$120 per square metre installed, depending on the existing slab condition, grinding and moisture testing required, and whether you choose flake, metallic or a plain solid colour.
- How long before I can drive on a new epoxy floor?
- Foot traffic is generally fine after 24 hours and vehicle traffic after 5–7 days. Full chemical cure takes about a week in Tweed Heads's humidity, so we schedule the job around when you need the space back.
- Does the concrete have to be ground first?
- Yes — diamond grinding the slab is what gives epoxy something to key into. Roll-on kits applied over sealed or dusty concrete are the most common reason coatings peel.

- Yes. Munn & Co. Finishes holds an NSW painting licence and a QLD QBCC licence, and we carry full public liability insurance. Licence and insurance details are supplied in writing with every Tweed Heads quote.
