How do I make polished concrete non-slip?
Real polished concrete is naturally quite non-slip under bare feet anyway. Simply keeping your polished concrete free of dust helps keep it non-slip even when wearing shoes. If you have a grind and seal, which is a replica form of polished concrete, in the topcoat of the sealer, a non-slip grit or non-slip additive can be added to help prevent slipping. However, please keep in mind that this non-slip additive does wear away over time. After about 12 – 18 months, you will probably start to need more non-slip grit. Unless you want high gloss outside, we recommend that you choose our Honed finish for your outdoor floors. Honed finishes will not require frequent non-slip grit and are also much easier to clean.
