Non-Slip Garage Flooring in Southern New Hampshire
Slippery garage floors are a common issue in New Hampshire, especially during winter when snow, salt, and meltwater create slick surfaces. A professional non-slip garage flooring system provides added traction, durability, and year-round safety. This service uses textured epoxy finishes and traction additives to create a grip-enhanced surface that stays safer underfoot, even in wet or icy conditions.
Why Garage Floors Become Slippery in Southern NH
Garage floors in New England face unique challenges:
-
Snow and slush from vehicles
-
Road salt and sand
-
Moisture from dripping ice
-
Humidity swings
-
Smooth, bare concrete surfaces
These conditions make garages especially prone to slick spots. A non-slip coating provides the traction needed to keep the space safer and easier to navigate.

Any cracks or damage are repaired and leveled.
4. Epoxy Base Coat Application
A durable base layer provides the foundation for the textured system.
5. Texture or Flake Broadcast
Flakes or traction materials are applied evenly for consistent grip.
6. Protective Topcoat
A high-performance, UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat seals the surface and locks in the texture.
Decorative Flake Epoxy

FAQs About Non-Slip Garage Flooring
A non-slip garage floor is created by adding texture to an epoxy coating using decorative flakes, traction additives, or a grit-based topcoat. These materials increase surface grip so the floor is safer to walk on, especially when wet or exposed to winter moisture.
Garages in Southern NH often get wet from snow, ice, and slush that melt off vehicles. Combined with road salt and smooth concrete, this creates slick surfaces. A non-slip coating adds traction so the floor stays safer throughout the winter.
The most effective option is a flake epoxy system, which naturally adds texture while providing a durable, attractive finish. Additional traction additives can be blended into the topcoat for even more grip if needed.
No. The texture level can be customized. Most homeowners choose a moderate texture that improves grip but still feels comfortable underfoot.
Yes. The existing floor can be lightly ground and recoated with a traction-enhanced topcoat, making it safer without removing the original epoxy.
With proper installation, a non-slip epoxy floor can last 10–20 years, depending on use, vehicle traffic, and winter conditions. The texture remains effective throughout the lifespan of the coating.
Yes. Non-slip epoxy floors are smooth enough for easy cleaning but textured enough for traction. Snow, dirt, salt, and debris wash away easily without clogging the texture.
Absolutely. Non-slip epoxy is built for garages and holds up to cars, trucks, snow blowers, tools, and daily wear without losing its traction.
Minimal wear may occur in high-traffic areas, but the coating remains functional for years. When a refresh is needed, a simple recoat restores full traction.
While not a waterproofing system, a non-slip epoxy coating resists moisture and prevents water absorption, helping reduce slick spots caused by winter melt.
