Frequently Asked Questions

How long will SparkleTuff™ last on my floor? +
There’s no time limit. With normal foot traffic, SparkleTuff™ will likely last a decade or more. We've been selling it for nine years now, and the first customers are still happy with its performance all these years later. We've got forklifts driving over it in places and it's been applied to many busy food manufacturing facilities, cruise ships, and pool decks.
What will the wet slip resistance of SparkleTuff™ be on my flooring? +
Unless your flooring has a very rough or relief surface, the slip resistance will be as shown in this SparkleTuff slip resistance test chart here . Pedestrians walk on the coating, not on the flooring, and it’s the slip resistance of the SparkleTuff™ that matters.
Can’t I just broadcast sand on wet paint to get a non-slip surface? +
Unfortunately this doesn’t work very well. Sand (silicon dioxide) has brittle points that break under foot traffic, soon losing its slip resistance. Sand breaks easily, especially under vehicle traffic. leaving you with holes in the floor where the sand once was. With SparkleTuff™ Anti-Slip Floor Coating, applied according to directions using the approved roller, the distribution is uniform and the abrasive is very durable — almost as hard as a diamond.
How cleanable is SparkleTuff™? +
Very. SparkleTuff™’s very smooth carrier surface rejects dirt. The coating on the tiny abrasive particles prevents it from capturing soil. SparkleTuff™ is very resistant to stains and has excellent chemical resistance, and often can be cleaned with just plain water. Here is a more detailed guide to cleaning anti-slip floors like SparkleTuff™ Anti-Slip Floor Coating.
Can I clean SparkleTuff™ with a squeegee? +
Yes. You can use a floor squeegee with foam blades, or a soft deck brush.
My elderly parents shuffle. Will they stumble because of SparkleTuff™’s high slip resistance? +
Nope. Dry, SparkleTuff™ has the same slip resistance as an NBA basketball floor. It also has less slip resistance than a thin carpet or rug. Elderly people aren't tripping every time they walk across a parking lot, and SparkleTuff has similar slip resistance to every parking lot across the country. It's not true at all that a floor can be too slip resistant and that elderly people need slippery floors so they don't trip. That's a snake oil salesman con. Slippery tile salesmen love to say this to help sell you their slippery tile, but you don't see signs in parking lots saying "warning, slip resistant surface. Be careful not to trip." Trips on slip resistant parking lots across America are extremely rare.
What is the abrasive in SparkleTuff™? +
It’s durable aluminum oxide. On the Mohs harndess scale, it’s just one step down from diamond. SparkleTuff is built to last ten years or more.
Is the SparkleTuff™ coating an epoxy? +
No. Although it’s a two-part mixture, it’s much more advanced than epoxy. A hybrid of inorganic and organic chemicals, SparkleTuff™ is much more durable and longer-lasting than epoxy. No epoxy can behave as SparkleTuff™ does in unlimited outdoor exposure in a clear coating; fully submersible for unlimited duration; outstanding weather and wear resistance; can be driven on by forklifts and airplanes; and excellent chemical and stain resistance. It represents a large improvement with respect to health, safety and the environment compared to epoxy, epoxy acrylic, and polyurethane coatings.
Can SparkleTuff™ remediate a floor that’s slippery when dry? +
Yes. A few types of flooring are slippery when dry to certain shoes or to pets’ paws. SparkleTuff™ can eliminate this hazard and is kind to paws, while making the floor’s colors pop. It also protects the surface. It has UV protection, chemical resistance and lasts for many, many years.
 Is SparkleTuff™ available in a matte finish? +
We do carry a "satin" version for an additional cost. One of the factors that causes many slip and fall accidents is that people love highly glossy (“shiny”) floors, and before SparkleTuff™ these were almost invariably slippery when wet. Now ANY floor can be slip resistant from glass to epoxy to polyaspartic to you name it! However, gloss intensifies colors! And it tells people subconsciously to walk more cautiously, so why would you want to take away the gloss that's telling people to walk more cautiously on your floor?! So go with the gloss!!
