Line markings aren’t just about visibility—they’re also about safety. In environments where surfaces are frequently wet, oily, or high-traffic, standard paint or thermoplastic alone might not be enough. That’s where anti-slip line marking comes in.
At C&R Ltd, we apply anti-slip coatings and textured finishes to improve grip and reduce the risk of slips, trips, and falls. In this blog, we explain what anti-slip line marking is, when it’s needed, and how it keeps people safe in public and commercial spaces.
What Is Anti-Slip Line Marking?
Anti-slip line marking involves adding a textured finish or abrasive material—such as fine glass beads, grit, or an anti-slip coating—over or within painted or thermoplastic markings. It creates extra grip underfoot or under tyre, reducing the risk of slipping.
These markings are especially useful in:
- Wet or damp environments
- High-footfall public spaces
- Industrial or warehouse settings
- Pedestrian crossings or steps
- Emergency exit routes
Where Should Anti-Slip Markings Be Used?
We recommend anti-slip marking in a range of indoor and outdoor settings:
🏢 Workplaces and Warehouses
Where pedestrian walkways cross forklift paths or spill zones—anti-slip markings reduce the risk of injury.
🏫 Schools and Public Buildings
In areas with smooth floors, stairs, or entrances exposed to the weather, anti-slip solutions help keep students and staff safe.
🚗 Car Parks
On ramps, crossings, or near entrances where rainwater may collect, textured markings offer much-needed grip.
🚶 Accessible Routes
Anti-slip finishes are important on walkways or crossings used by those with mobility issues, ensuring compliance with the Equality Act 2010.
What Materials Are Used?
At C&R Ltd, we use several approaches depending on the location and material:
- Textured thermoplastic – Pre-mixed with anti-skid aggregates for outdoor durability
- MMA resin with aggregate infill – Long-lasting and ideal for high-traffic or industrial zones
- Paint with anti-slip beads or grit – Quick to apply and suitable for indoor spaces or temporary solutions
All materials we use are designed for safety, longevity, and compliance with UK regulations.
