New product alert: A simple way to prevent slips and falls

Slippery surfaces can be a real hazard, especially in areas exposed to rain, pool splashes or morning dew. Timber decks, tiled patios and painted concrete can become dangerously slick when wet, increasing the risk of slips and falls. In fact, in the first 10 months of 2024, ACC claims for falling have totalled over $1.8 billion! That’s a lot of slipping, tripping and falling over. And it’s not just the financial cost – it’s the injuries and recovery time that impact people across the country. 

The good news is there’s an easy way to improve grip underfoot. Simply add Resene Anti-Slip Grip Additive to your chosen coating to create a non-slip finish inside or out. Whether you're painting decks, paths, steps, stairs, patios, balconies or floors, this additive works with a range of decorative and engineered topcoats, available in a variety of colours. 

Designed to improve safety without compromising on aesthetics, Resene Anti-Slip Grip Additive has been independently tested for slip resistance, so you can be confident in its effectiveness. Make your surfaces safer and reduce the risk of accidents – just mix it in and paint as usual.
