Anti-Slip Floor Paint for Steps, Paths and Decking


Anti-slip floor paint is a textured coating, usually made by mixing an aggregate such as silica into the paint, that improves grip on suitable floors, decking, steps, paths, balconies and driveways. Compare each option by its surface and the type of traffic it will take.

Compare each anti-slip floor coating

Explore Step Paint, Path Paint, Driveway Paint, Balcony Paint and Decking Paint — each has its own surface and application guidance.

For anti-slip paint on concrete, check that the chosen product supports your surface and use the concrete primer range where specified. For general concrete-floor work, compare Extreme Polyurethane Floor Paint.

Before you apply anti-slip paint

The Extreme anti-slip acrylic products come with a separately supplied silica additive — pour the complete additive into the paint, mix for at least two minutes until evenly dispersed, and stir periodically during application.

Water, oil, algae and ice can still make textured surfaces slippery. Keep the surface clean and maintained.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is anti-slip paint and how does it work?

It is a coating with an added aggregate, such as silica, that creates a textured surface for better grip underfoot. With the Extreme products, the aggregate is supplied separately and mixed in before application.

Where can anti-slip paint be used?

On floors, decking, steps, paths, driveways and balconies, wherever the product's guidance matches the surface and traffic.

What is the best anti-slip floor paint for concrete?

The one that explicitly supports your surface, traffic and indoor or outdoor use. The concrete must meet its preparation and moisture requirements, with a compatible primer where specified.

How durable is anti-slip paint in busy areas?

Durability depends on the coating, the preparation, the traffic and how the floor is maintained. A well-prepared, fully cured coating lasts longest in busy areas.

Is there anti-slip paint for exterior concrete?

Yes — the path, step and driveway products in this range cover exterior concrete, each with its own weather and surface limits.
