Polyaspartic garage floor coatings are often assumed to be slippery because they look smooth and glossy, but in reality, they have a natural orange-peel texture that provides traction.

Why Most People Don’t Find Them Slippery

The flake broadcast and topcoat create micro-texture that improves grip. Out of over 3,000 installations, only a handful of homeowners have expressed concern and typically only when the floor is wet or snow-covered.

Situations Where Floors Can Be Slippery

Any hard surface: concrete, tile, epoxy, or polyaspartic becomes slippery when:

• Snow melts off your vehicle
  
• Water accumulates
  
• Soap or degreaser residue remains
  

This is normal for all coated and uncoated garage floors.

Traction Additives Are Available

For customers who want more grip, we can add traction additives like a 40 grit aluminum oxide to the topcoat. 

This increases slip resistance without affecting appearance significantly.  It can reduce the gloss level a small amount.  

Bottom Line

Dry floors are not slippery, and wet floors can be more slippery but texture additives can be added for extra confidence.
