Non-slip paint

Screwfix do a non-slip garage paint. I've used the grey variety in my workshop, and it's pretty good. £14 for 2.5l (17904).

Having said that, I think International stuff is superb, all of their products I've used so far have been well worth the price.

Stuff we got at work was red and the non slip stuff came with a packet of fine sand to mix in with it?

I used a paint from Watco for a ramp at work, the paint comes as a 2 part mix and the fine grit is rollered on after the paint. It's 4 years old now and has stood up to wear very well, and it's still very grippy.

The International stuff has tiny plastic spheres in it to provide the non-slip factor. The gritty stuff works well, but is a b@st@rd to get off for re-coating.

I think I'll have to let the moths out of my wallet!

Hi,

You should be able to buy the granules separately and much more cheaply. Another way to do it is to sprinkle rock salt or sugar onto to the wet paint then wash it off when the paint is dry. It's worth doing a trial area first, the roof will not get too much foot traffic so it should last OK. Check out some surfing/windsurfing websites and groups for more ideas.

cheers, Pete.
