FAQs About Adding slip-resistant additives

Can you add anti-slip to concrete sealer instead of epoxy?

Absolutely, and this comes up a lot with Toowoomba’s older industrial buildings where they’ve already got concrete sealer down. The process is similar but requires different additive types. Sealers are thinner than epoxy, so we use finer aggregates that won’t settle out.

Can you remove anti-slip coating if you don’t like how it feels?

This is a tough one, and I wish more people asked before installation rather than after. Removing anti-slip additives usually means removing the entire coating system. In most Toowoomba homes and businesses, that means grinding off the epoxy and starting fresh – it’s expensive and messy. The red dust from our soil makes this even more challenging because it gets everywhere during grinding. That’s why I always do test patches first, especially for fussy homeowners in the nicer suburbs like Rangeville or Middle Ridge. Much better to get it right the first time than face a costly do-over.

How do you make regular paint slip-resistant for outdoor areas?

For outdoor applications around Toowoomba – like those steep driveways in East Toowoomba or pool decks – adding anti-slip to paint is possible but limited. You can mix fine sand or commercial additives into paint, but it won’t last like a proper epoxy system. Our UV exposure is brutal, and the thermal cycling from hot days to cool nights breaks down paint quickly.

Do those stick-on anti-slip strips work for stairs and ramps?

They’re better than nothing, but they’re not my first choice for Toowoomba conditions. The heat here makes the adhesive fail faster than in cooler climates, and I’ve seen too many strips peeling off during summer. They work okay for indoor applications like office stairs, but for outdoor areas or high-traffic zones, they’re more of a band-aid solution. The other issue is cleaning – they collect dirt and grime, and with all the dust we get here, they can look pretty grotty pretty quickly. For permanent solutions, I’d rather see properly applied additive systems.

Can you make existing tiles slip-resistant without replacing them?

Yes, but the options are limited and the results vary. There are acid etching treatments and topical applications that can improve traction on existing tiles. However, with Toowoomba’s water quality and cleaning requirements – especially in commercial kitchens – these treatments often don’t hold up well. The other challenge is that most treatments change the appearance of the tiles, which doesn’t always go over well in retail or hospitality settings. For critical safety areas, I usually recommend overlaying with a proper epoxy system with integrated additives rather than trying to treat existing tiles.
