Anti-slip coatings in practice: where they are used and how to choose the right one
When you hear the term “anti-slip coating”, you might imagine something technical, more suited to factories than everyday life. In reality, it’s quite the opposite. Today, anti-slip coatings help ensure safety anywhere there is a risk of slipping – at home in the bathroom, on basement stairs, or on company ramps.
In this article, we will show you what types of coatings are available, where they are most suitable, and how to identify the right solution for your specific needs.
1. When you don’t want a rubber mat in your bathtub: Mosolut PRIME Acryl
Do you have children, or do you simply want to make sure your bathroom is truly safe when showering or bathing? SaniGrip is a transparent two-component coating applied directly to the bottom of a bathtub or shower tray. It creates a non-slip surface without affecting the appearance.
Compared to traditional rubber mats, it is more hygienic, resistant to wear and does not trap dirt. This makes it a long-lasting and visually clean solution.
It is typically used in showers, bathtubs or on stairs, and is suitable for materials such as ceramic, marble, granite, acrylic, polyester, glass or enamel. The application can be done by yourself.
2. For a calm and safe morning in the bathroom and on stairs: Mosolut BASE
If you have glossy tiles at home, you probably know the feeling of slight slipping – for example when walking barefoot with a cup of coffee in the morning. Mosolut BASE is a fast-acting spray that invisibly alters the tile surface to make it slip-resistant.
It preserves the original look of the material while significantly improving safety. It is especially suitable for indoor tiles, bathrooms and staircases.
It can be used on ceramic tiles, porcelain and enamel, and its application is simple and suitable for DIY use.
3. For warehouses, ramps and industrial use: UV Grip
In environments where floors must withstand heavy loads, regular cleaning and mechanical traffic, a professional solution is required. UV Grip is a water-based coating cured with UV light, offering high resistance to scratches, chemicals and plasticizers.
It is commonly used in industrial halls, warehouses, loading zones and ramps. It is suitable for concrete, epoxy floors, PVC, glass, vinyl, metal and stone.
The application is carried out by professionals, but the result is an extremely durable surface designed for demanding daily use.
4. When you want both function and design: NanoGrip
NanoGrip combines anti-slip functionality with aesthetic flexibility. It is available in both transparent and coloured versions, allowing you to match it to the design of your space.
It is ideal for entrances, corridors, reception areas, staircases or terraces where both safety and appearance matter. It works particularly well on concrete, natural and glazed stone, WPC or vinyl.
Application is professional, and the result is an elegant, functional surface that fits naturally into modern environments.
5. Heavy-duty use, steel and wood: Loctite
Loctite is a dark grey coating designed for heavy-duty industrial environments. It creates a rough and extremely durable surface capable of handling high mechanical stress.
It is used in warehouses, workshops, ramps and on metal surfaces where maximum durability is required. It is suitable for concrete, steel, sheet metal and wood.
It is not intended for typical home use, but in industrial settings it is one of the most reliable solutions available.
6. The most common choice for tiles and staircases: Mosolut CORE
Mosolut CORE is one of the most popular solutions, especially among facility managers, in wellness centres and public spaces. Unlike traditional coatings, it does not create a film on the surface. Instead, it uses nanotechnology to modify the material structure at a microscopic level.
- This creates fine micro-patterns that are invisible to the naked eye but significantly improve slip resistance.
- It is used on ceramic surfaces, marble and concrete, for example on staircases, entrances, swimming pools or residential buildings.
- Application is carried out by professionals and often includes slip resistance testing and the option of a test area before full implementation.
Summary: every surface has its solution
We believe that safety underfoot should never be a compromise. Every surface requires a slightly different approach – and that is exactly why different types of anti-slip coatings exist. We are happy to help you choose the most suitable solution for your space. And if you are unsure, we can arrange a test application directly at your location – free of charge and without obligation.
