Slip-Resistant Broadcast Sand Coating Installation

• Area: 200 sqft
• Timeline: 2 days
• System: Broadcast Sand

For this technical space, we applied a broadcast sand flooring system designed to deliver superior slip resistance and durability. The process involves broadcasting fine sand onto a freshly applied epoxy base coat, creating a textured surface that significantly improves traction and safety — an essential feature for environments where slips and falls must be avoided.

What Is Broadcast Sand Flooring?

Broadcast sand flooring is a multi-step floor coating system where fine sand is scattered onto a wet base layer, typically epoxy or polyurethane. Once cured, the sand becomes embedded in the surface, creating a textured finish that enhances grip and significantly reduces slip hazards.

In addition to improved slip resistance, this system boosts the floor”s durability by increasing resistance to wear, chemicals, and moisture, making it an excellent choice for demanding commercial and industrial environments.

Where Is Broadcast Sand Flooring Suitable?

Broadcast sand flooring is perfect for areas that require a tough, anti-slip floor coating combined with long-lasting durability, such as:

  • Technical rooms and mechanical areas
  • Industrial facilities and warehouses
  • Garage floors and automotive workshops
  • Commercial kitchens and food processing plants
  • Healthcare and laboratory environments
  • Retail spaces and showrooms
  • Parking garages and ramps
  • Public walkways and ramps

Color Options for Broadcast Sand Flooring

Broadcast sand flooring offers a range of customizable color options to fit the aesthetic and functional needs of your space. The base coat — typically epoxy or polyurethane — comes in various standard colors such as:

  • Gray: A popular neutral tone that hides dirt well and suits industrial or technical environments.
  • Beige/Tan: Offers a warmer, natural look ideal for commercial spaces aiming for a clean but inviting feel.
  • Black: Provides a sleek, modern appearance and excellent contrast with safety markings.
  • White: Brightens spaces and enhances visibility, especially in well-lit areas.
  • Blue or Green: Often used in healthcare or laboratory settings to denote specific zones or meet branding requirements.

The broadcast sand itself is usually a natural or light-colored quartz sand, but colored aggregates can also be used for added visual appeal or safety coding. Custom color blends allow you to achieve the right balance between style and functionality while maintaining slip resistance and durability.

Maintenance and Cleaning Tips

Broadcast sand floors are designed for durability and safety, but regular maintenance helps keep them looking and performing their best. Cleaning is simple — routine sweeping and occasional mopping with mild detergent will remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive tools that could damage the textured surface. Sealed broadcast sand floors resist stains and moisture, making them easy to maintain in commercial and industrial settings.

Is Broadcast Sand Flooring Right for Your Space?

If you need a floor that balances safety, durability, and aesthetics, broadcast sand flooring might be an ideal solution. This broadcast sand coating system is especially recommended for areas with heavy foot traffic, equipment use, or moisture exposure. We provide expert installation of broadcast sand flooring for a variety of spaces including industrial facilities, garages, technical rooms, and commercial environments.

Broadcast sand is an excellent choice for many spaces, but another highly durable and slip-resistant option is urethane cement. Urethane cement systems are particularly suitable for areas with extreme chemical exposure or heavy mechanical traffic, offering a slightly different performance profile than epoxy-based broadcast sand.
