The Strata-Grip¨ deck coating system is designed to provide additional slip resistance to slick surface conditions.

The slip resistant features of the system make it ideal for applications such as:

Hospitals
Hospitality Facilities
Condominiums
Health Care Facilities
Stairs/Balconies
Ramps/Walkways 		            Retirement Communities
Plant/Manufacturing Areas
Schools and Institutions
Shopping Centers
Commercial Buildings
Pool/Patio/Recreation Deck Areas

Today's requirements in deck coatings have become complex.

In addition to the expected aesthetic qualities, issues such as safety, ADA requirements, OSHA, environmental concerns and life cycles are evaluated. Owners, managers, and design professionals are faced with the challenge of selecting products that meet all of these requirements. The Strata-Grip¨ deck coating system combines a slip resistant texture in a variety of patterns and colors that features a decorative appeal. The unique formulation of Strata-Grip¨'s Base Coat, which is a one component water base urethane/acrylic with extenders of silica, silicates and rubber fibers, creates one of the most durable and slip resistant surfaces available. Strata-Grip¨ Top Coat allows use to complement any design scheme. The proven performance of Strata-Grip¨ compared to other slip resistant materials will stand up to the test.

Easy two step application process

Step One: Base Coat
Properly prepare the substrate, using the appropriate primer, as recommended in Strata-Grip¨ specifications. Spray or roll down the Strata-Grip¨ Base Coat at approximately 60 to 80 sq. ft. per gal. depending on porosity (Approximately 12-15 mils dry film). While the coating is wet, either leave as is to create the desired splatter or sand texture, or knock-down with a trowel (lace finish) or bark roller (bark texture).		 Step Two: Top Coat
After 24 hours of curing (under ideal conditions) it is recommended to apply Strata-Grip¨ Top Coat at 200 to 250 sq. ft. per gal., to achieve a uniform pinhole-free finish.

Made with:
Strata-Grip¨'s unique
formulation has
high-impact strength.
