It is a durable and easy-to-clean option for garage floors and other types of high-traffic areas. However, epoxy can be difficult to remove once it has been applied, so it is important to know how to do this before you begin the project.<\/span><\/p><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Make_Epoxy_Floor_Less_Slippery\"><\/span><b>How to Make Epoxy Floor Less Slippery<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have an <a href=\"https:\/\/floorshields.com\/best-epoxy-floor-coating-reviews\/\">epoxy floor in your garage<\/a>, you know how slippery it can be. Here are a few steps you can take to make it less slippery:\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Use_an_Anti-slip_Additive\"><\/span><b>1. Use an Anti-slip Additive<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One way to make your epoxy floor less slippery is to add an anti-slip additive to the mix. This can be done when you are first mixing up the epoxy or after it has been applied to the floor. The anti-slip additive will create a rougher surface that will provide more traction and make it less likely for you to slip and fall.<\/span><\/p><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Use_a_Different_Top_Coat\"><\/span><b>2. Use a Different Top Coat<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another option is to use a different type of top coat on your epoxy floor. There are many different types of top coats available that can provide a variety of levels of slip resistance. You can talk to your local hardware store or <a href=\"https:\/\/floorshields.com\/epoxy-coating-advice\/\">flooring specialist<\/a> to find the right top coat for your needs.<\/span><\/p><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Add_a_Mat\"><\/span><b>3. Add a Mat<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adding a mat to your epoxy floor can also help to make it less slippery. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/mats-rugs\/s?k=mats+and+rugs\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mats<\/a> can provide extra traction and also help to absorb any water that may be on the floor. This is especially helpful in areas where there is a lot of foot traffic or where spills are likely to happen.<\/span><\/p><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Use_Sandpaper\"><\/span><b>4. Use Sandpaper<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have an existing epoxy floor that is already slippery, you can try using sandpaper to rough up the surface. This will create more traction and make it less likely for you to slip. Be sure to use coarse-grit sandpaper so you don&#8217;t damage the floor too much.<\/span><\/p><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Apply_a_Sealer\"><\/span><b>5. Apply a Sealer<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Applying a sealer to your epoxy floor can also help to make it less slippery. A sealer will create a barrier that will <a href=\"https:\/\/floorshields.com\/is-epoxy-flooring-waterproof\/\">prevent water<\/a> and other liquids from seeping into the pores of the floor and making it slick. You can talk to your local hardware store or flooring specialist to find the right sealer for your needs.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By following these five easy steps, you can make your epoxy floor less slippery and help prevent slips and falls.
