Epoxy Flooring Solutions for Slippery Steps

Epoxy resin steps can provide a safer environment and add a touch of style to your industrial space. Epoxy coatings offer a durable and non-slip surface for steps, making them safer for everyone to use.

In this blog post, we will explore how epoxy flooring can improve the safety of industrial staircases.

The dangers of slippery steps

Slippery steps in areas with high foot traffic, such as commercial and industrial buildings, can lead to slips, falls, and injuries for both workers and visitors. Trips, slips, and falls are the most common workplace accidents. However, you can significantly reduce the risk of these accidents by adding an epoxy coating. This type of coating creates a textured surface that provides traction, making it easier to walk safely. Additionally, epoxy is water-resistant, making it suitable for use in outdoor areas or spots that are prone to moisture. The epoxy coating is also easy to clean and maintain, making it a practical and cost-effective solution for keeping your stairs safe and slip-free.

Types of Epoxy Resin for Anti-Slip Solutions

There are several types of epoxy resin that can be used for anti-slip steps.

One option is epoxy with added aggregates which creates a rough texture that improves grip.

Another option is epoxy with a non-slip additive, which provides a more uniform anti-slip surface.

Both options are durable and long-lasting, providing a reliable solution for preventing accidents on slippery steps.

Installation Process for Epoxy Resin Anti-Slip System

The installation process is relatively straightforward. First, the surface of the stairs must be thoroughly prepped and cleaned to ensure proper adhesion of the epoxy coating. Any existing sealants or coatings will be removed and the surface roughened to create a better bond.

The epoxy resin mixture will be prepped and applied to the stairs to ensure an even and consistent coating. Depending on the method chosen, additional aggregates it non-slip additives may be added at this point.

After the coating has been evenly applied, it will be allowed enough time to properly cure.
