To make an epoxy pool deck slip-resistant, we integrate specialized additives and application techniques that physically increase grip on the surface. Because plain concrete becomes treacherous when damp, creating a micro-rough surface is essential for safety.
We achieve a high-traction finish through the following methods:
- Incorporating Aggregates: We add fine materials directly into the epoxy to create a textured profile. These include silica sand for a fine-to-medium texture, aluminum oxide for extreme durability and friction, or polymer grit/rubber granules which are softer under bare feet while remaining slip-resistant.
- Professional Application: After applying our Ultra brand 100% solid epoxy, we back-roll the coating to lock the broadcasted aggregates firmly in place. This ensures the texture is integrated into the film so it does not wear away easily over time.
- Surface Preparation: We use diamond grinding or shot blasting to prepare the concrete. This creates a strong bond that allows the anti-slip coating to withstand Alberta’s extreme freeze-thaw cycles and UV exposure without peeling.
- Moisture Management: The coating seals the concrete, which reduces water absorption and prevents algae growth—another common cause of slippery pool decks.
Our team is ready to design and install the decorative concrete surface that is right for you, ensuring a consistent, non-slip finish that meets safety expectations for both residential and commercial environments.
