This paint can transform a garage, cellar or utility room floor; it will even brighten up an outdoor area, such as a patio, and its UV light resistance will help prevent fading. It has great slip resistance too, of course.

Some concrete floor paints aren't all they are cracked up to be and tend to fade or flake quite quickly. Our concrete floor paint uses an advanced acrylic formula and originated in the industrial sector, but has been specially adapted for use in the home where it won't take the same level of usage that a factory would give it - after all you don't need it to be resistant to concentrated acids, maybe just a spill of battery acid. Nevertheless, it needs to be tough enough to handle anything you, your family or your vehicles can throw at it, and it is.

When you apply it you'll find it is a thick paint. - usually one coat is enough. It is that thickness that helps to give the product its strength and you'll find it is very flexible and able to resist cracking. Again, a blessing if you are using it outside as sunlight won't cause it to crack easily.

It has a very fine grit (similar in size to sand particles) pre-mixed into the paint, which gives it strong non-slip properties to keep you on your feet. With its matt finish it not only looks smart, it helps to hide any little imperfections in the surface too, thus actually improving the appearance of your floor.

NB: Whilst you can apply this product all year round, drying times will increase at lower temperatures.


Trade Secrets
If you have oil spills on your concrete floor, possibly from your car, then Clean It Floor Degreaser will remove it easily before applying Drive Grip.

Coverage: 20m² (215 sq ft) per 5 litres (1 gallon), depending on texture of the substrate

Prepare It
The surface to be painted should be clean and dry, although slightly damp isn’t a problem. If there is oil, grease or other contaminants then use Clean It Floor Degreaser to remove them.

You can paint over an existing surface, but if the paint is flaky give it a sanding so the new paint can adhere to it.

Apply It
Stir well before use.

You can apply Drive Grip Slip Resistant Paint with a brush or roller. Only one coat is normally needed, though you may need a second on porous or rough surfaces. If so, it can normally be applied after about an hour depending on conditions.

There is no need to apply the paint too thickly. The texture develops as the paint dries, so don’t worry if it isn’t immediately apparent.

If you are using externally then do not apply if rain or frost are forecast, or when temperatures fall below 10°C. Equally, if hot weather it forecast (above 30°C), drop us an e-mail and we will advise on whether or not to paint, as high temperatures can affect the product.
