Swimming pool areas get really slippery and slimy, making them a hazard to the young and old- but it doesn’t have to be that way.
According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), accidents around the pool is one of the leading causes of deaths per year. What makes the swimming pool area so dangerous is that a person could fall forward, exposing his or her head, face, neck, and spine to harsh impact on the floor. If they’re unlucky, the victim might fall into the pool and not be able to swim out. In 2014, WHO found that around 372 000 people die from drowning every year, and noticed that over half of these victims are below 25 years old. And even if an accident around the pool doesn’t lead to death, both children and adults can still slip, fall, and experience major injuries or broken bones!
Unfortunately, many potentially fatal slip and fall accidents go unreported as victims and the people around them brush it off as clumsiness but we fail to realise that these areas need to be thoroughly safety-checked! If not, well, it would result in accidents that could’ve been prevented at the surface level. Back in 2018, 500 out of 700 reported cases of drowning in Malaysia were children under 18 years old!
It’s time to give your swimming pool areas the added protection it needs to prevent slip and falls from happening in the first place. We highly recommend business owners or residents with swimming pools to apply Nano-G Nanotechnology Anti-slip Floor Coating before a mishap happens.

1. Nano-G Nanotechnology Anti-Slip Floor Coating adds a grainy texture to your swimming pool surfaces.
Our solution is able to make pools safer by just adding a grainy texture to your swim deck’s surface. That means you don’t have to remove your existing tiles or hack at your deck to get the anti-slip protection you need! This grainy texture from Nano-G Nanotechnology Anti-Slip Floor Coating gives bare feet the grip and friction it needs-without being too rough to wet skin.
Our gentle texture helps little ones play and have fun without hurting their sensitive feet.
Therefore, this feature makes the solution especially effective for areas that get wet most of the time. Such as in shower room areas, walkways, swimming pool borders, locker rooms, and restrooms areas.
2. It’s suitable for both smooth ceramic and rough stone-textured surfaces.
Here’s an observation: just because you have a stone-textured surface, doesn’t mean it won’t get slippery. Our waterpark clients, such as Gamuda Garden Water Theme Park, have requested for their sandstone floors to have our anti-slip solution as an added prevention against slip-and-fall accidents.
Still, the texture needed on smooth ceramic tiles is not the same as the texture needed on rough sandstone surfaces. That’s why our experts are here to guide our clients to choose between our 100 and 500 grain texture during our consultations.
The Nano-G Nanotechnology Anti-Slip Floor Coating Grip 100 is most suitable for smooth surfaces- such as ceramic, porcelain, and mosaic tiles. Grip 500 is reserved for rougher surfaces, such as sandstone, cement, and brick textures.
3. Our solution is non-toxic and water-based.
Nano-G Nanotechnology Anti-Slip Floor Coating is the more preferred way to anti-slip swimming pool areas because it doesn’t require any added chemicals or use chemical etching to stick onto your surfaces. In fact, our solution is water-based and safe enough that our clients can be around while we coat their tiles! This also means that no harmful fumes will be released during drying time.
As you can see from this during-and-after slider, there wouldn’t be any changes to your swimming pool tiles once Nano-G Nanotechnology Anti-Slip Floor Coating is applied. You don’t even have to worry about our solution getting into your pool water, as it is non-toxic when wet or dry.
4. Our solution is long lasting and effective that it’s resistant to sun damage, peeling, and scratches.
Nano-G Nanotechnology Anti-Slip Floor Coating is the long-lasting surface protection you need that doesn’t wear down easily. We really only apply a thin layer to create the desired texture that doesn’t get weaker against chemicals found in the pool water or in pool cleaning products.
Look at that, you can even run a coin across the surface and it wouldn’t affect its surface!
Our solution is also able to be resistant to the test of time! Sun and heat don’t cause the protective layer to crack, or peel. Rocks, coins, or dust also don’t scratch or damage your glossy new surfaces.
5. Nano-G Nanotechnology Anti-Slip Floor Coating can prevent slimy and algae-filled swim decks!
Despite the chlorine in pool water- life still finds a way on the microscopic level. Many home and business owners that worked with us in the past found that the most dangerous thing about keeping pools is that the surroundings and wet spots are prone to microbial growth. If you forget to do routine maintenance of your swimming pool area, you’re likely to experience the deck feeling a little slimier than usual! It’s especially common in humid and closed spaces- such as indoor or shaded pools.
Nano-G Nanotechnology Anti-Slip Floor Coating can be used swimming pool tiles too. We recommend having a layer at the staircase area to prevent swimmers from slipping while entering- and possibly hitting a sharp edge in the process!
Nano-G Nanotechnology Anti-Slip Floor Coating’s hydrophobic feature can keep the swimming pool area cleaner for longer by making maintenance easier. Our solution prevents tiles, grouts, and textured surfaces from holding on to mould and bacteria. This makes them easier to wash and wipe off, without leaving residues or water droplets behind when you wipe or sweep away access water.
Our services help keep swimming pools safe for both adults and children!
I provide swim classes for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers. So, the tiles were a little bit slippery and that causes a risk of people falling, so that’s why we decided to look into an anti-slip solution. The tiles are definitely less slippery because it (now) has some beads that made the surface rougher.”
