1.Which Surfaces Can I Paint with SPO Anti-Slip Floor Paint?

You can use SPO Anti-Slip Floor Paint on a variety of flooring substrates, including concrete, wood, and most previously painted floors. Its heavily aggregated finish provides a slip-resistant surface on steps, ramps, walkways, and other areas prone to foot or light vehicle traffic.

2. How Do I Prepare My Floor Before Applying Anti-Slip Paint?

For the best adhesion and a long-lasting finish, clean and degrease your floor to remove any dirt or oil. Lightly sand or abrade glossy surfaces to improve adhesion, and ensure the floor is completely dry before painting. These steps help the oil-based floor paint bond securely and deliver optimum slip-resistance.

3. How Long Does It Take to Dry, and When Can I Recoat?

SPO Anti-Slip Floor Paint is generally touch-dry within a few hours, but we recommend waiting 16 hours before applying a second coat or adding a topcoat. This oil-based formula needs sufficient time to cure so it can withstand heavy foot traffic and minor vehicle use.

4. Will This Paint Hold Up to Vehicle Traffic and Heavy Footfall?

Yes. SPO Anti-Slip Floor Paint is formulated for durability, making it suitable for light vehicle traffic (such as cars or small vans) and heavy foot traffic in busy areas. Its aggregate texture helps maintain a high-grip surface even in demanding environments like workshops, commercial ramps, and busy entrances.

5. Can I Get Custom Colours, and What Is the Minimum Order?

Absolutely. We offer over 2,000 RAL, BS, and NCS colours so you can match safety requirements or design preferences. A 10-litre minimum order applies for custom colours. For smaller projects, our standard colours are often available for immediate shipment.

6. Is SPO Anti-Slip Floor Paint Suitable for Both Indoor and Outdoor Use?

Yes. Our oil-based, slip-resistant paint is designed to provide a tough protective coating in both indoor and outdoor settings. Whether you’re updating warehouse floors, driveway ramps, or interior walkways, SPO Anti-Slip Floor Paint delivers long-lasting grip against slip accidents.

7. How Do I Maintain and Clean a Floor Painted with Anti-Slip Floor Paint?

To maintain the slip-resistant surface, regularly sweep or vacuum to remove dirt or debris that can reduce traction. For deeper cleaning, use a mild detergent and warm water, but avoid overly aggressive cleaning tools that might wear down the aggregated finish prematurely. Proper care ensures a safe, slip-free floor for years to come.
