What Is and How to Use Non-Slip Additive

Slippery paths, steps and patios can be a real problem, especially when they get wet. That’s where NOVEX Non-Slip Additive comes in. It’s an easy way to add extra grip to painted outdoor surfaces without changing the look of your paint too much.

What Is NOVEX Non-Slip Additive?

NOVEX Non-Slip Additive is a fine grit that is mixed directly into your paint. When added to NOVEX Prano Paving Paint, it helps create a safer, slip-resistant finish on concrete and paved areas around the home. Click Here for more info >>

It’s ideal for:

Paths and walkways
Steps and stairs
Patios and courtyards
Pool surrounds and high-traffic areas

When Should You Use It?

If an area is exposed to rain, dew or foot traffic, adding a non-slip finish is a smart choice. It’s especially useful on sloping surfaces or anywhere people walk in bare feet or smooth-soled shoes.

How to Use NOVEX Non-Slip Additive:

Using Non-Slip additive is simple and can be done by anyone new to DIY.

Step 1: Prepare the Surface

Make sure the surface is clean, dry and free from dirt, grease or loose material. Good preparation helps the paint and additive bond properly.

Step 2: Mix Into the Paint

Add the recommended amount of NOVEX Non-Slip Additive directly into your Prano Paving Paint. Stir well so the grit is evenly spread through the paint.

Step 3: Apply as Normal

Apply the paint using a roller or brush, just as you normally would. Keep the finish even and avoid over-working the paint.

Step 4: Let It Dry

Allow the painted surface to dry fully before walking on it. Drying times will vary depending on weather and temperature.

A Handy Tip

If you’re unsure how much grip you need, try a small test area first. This helps you get a feel for the finish before painting the whole surface.

Getting the Best Result

NOVEX Non-Slip Additive is designed to work with NOVEX products, especially Prano Paving Paint. Using them together ensures better performance, durability and a finish suited to New Zealand conditions.
