Concrete flooring and finishing is now a popular design in many homes – but it comes with a safety hazard that doesn’t often cross your mind.
The trend of stylish homes and modern buildings that embrace the sleek look of concrete finishing in their designs isn’t going away anytime soon. Now, many landed properties have simple concrete flooring in their car porches, often with a sloped area leading toward the entrance gate for vehicle access. On rainy days, this spot can become slippery, posing a risk to both children and adults who may be susceptible to slip and falls.
Adding to that, contemporary indoor environments employ seamlessly polished concrete surfaces – concrete flooring becomes a slip-and-fall hazard should there be water or oil spills.
Untreated concrete floors are dangerous when wet, contributing to many incidents of slips and falls.
Altogether, untreated concrete flooring can amplify the inherent risks of slips and falls for occupants and visitors. Thus, anti-slip coating is one of the most preemptive and comprehensive strategies to ensure the secure navigation of these spaces while embracing the popular aesthetic appeal of concrete flooring.
Why anti-slip coating is the best option for your concrete flooring.
What are the various anti-slip coatings offered in the market?
Anti-slip coatings are applied to floors to increase friction and reduce the risk of slip and fall incidents when the surface is wet or oily. There are many kinds of anti-slip coating solutions such as rubber coating, epoxy flakes coating, acid-etching coating, and the transparent nanotechnology that Nano-G offers. Each type comes with its own pros and cons, as well as differences in its effectiveness, durability, and cost.

Why is Anti-slip coating important for your concrete floors?
Concrete floors can indeed present a slip-and-fall hazard, particularly when they are wet or have substances spilled on them. The smooth and often polished surface of concrete lacks natural traction, making it more slippery under certain conditions. This can increase the risk of accidents, especially in areas with heavy foot traffic or where people might be in a hurry.
Slip and fall accidents often start as seemingly minor incidents that can escalate into severe injuries. Concrete flooring further magnifies the risk of injuries due to its hard surface. For instance, if a person stumbles and hits the ground head-first on hard floors like concrete, asphalt, or wood, this can result in traumatic brain injuries or worse, death.
Your choice of flooring outdoors should be safe, practical, and functional – but concrete floors that are not slip-proofed can do your family a disservice by contributing to accidents.
Anti-slip coatings are known for their ability to significantly enhance traction on surfaces to help prevent accidents caused by slips and falls. This coating increases the friction between footwear and the floor, reducing the risk of skidding and providing secure footing for occupants.
Why Nano-G Anti Slip Floor Coating is the superior choice for your concrete floor.
Nano-G’s Nanotechnology Anti-slip Floor Coating is a non-toxic and non-intrusive solution that requires no renovation. This means it can be applied without causing major disruptions to your daily home routines.
Most conventional treatment methods change the appearance of the treated floors, but Nano-G’s nanotechnology anti-slip solution is completely invisible.
This odourless and invisible coating uses nanotechnology to significantly raise traction on concrete floors and reduce slipperiness after treatment. The solution is hospital-grade, water-based, and offers exceptional slip resistance in both dry and wet conditions – making it the go-to choice for many property management in addressing slip hazards in high-traffic zones like hallways, kitchens, and other similar spaces.
Man demonstrates the acid etching method using spray application technique on a board. This technique can be harmful to the worker and occupants during the application process, therefore PPE gears are necessary.
Unlike the contemporary acid etching techniques which result in a matte, dull appearance while also damaging the floor surfaces, our processes preserve the original look of your floor, keeping its aesthetics and colours unharmed.
