Phantom 16 flow coating floor

What's the best product to add to flow coat to give a non slip finish? Looking at taking carpet out and flow coating floor. Thanks Lewis

I used this Anthracite Grey non-slip Flowcoat - RAL 7016 - East Coast Fibreglass Supplies

Came out pretty good but don't skimp on the prep.

Isn't it quite a rough non slip. Ecs replied to email to say it's ideal for a work boat

I just used that very coat to do the floor in my Ring, its very rough, dont want to put a knee on it! i used a 1 litre tin to do the areas in the picture and used foam rollers from tool station- 49410 item code.

But i feel a very faint tach still so i think you need to be very sure you have mixed the harder in well enough, so mix three times what you think is mixed to be safe, or use a drill etc to make it a proper mix!

The ready mixed non slip flowcoat is definitely very non slip. If you want something quite gentle under bare foot, I think you can use washed sand or glass bubbles. ECS would be the best people to advise.

Another alternative is kiwigrip. Very popular in other countries. I use epoxy on my deck and flowcoat won't stick. Bought kiwigrip and done a test run. It's lovely. I bought a softer roller from b and q to get a child safe deck
