More texture is not always better: too much makes cleaning harder. The right level depends on how wet and oily the area is.
How grip is achieved
On epoxy floors, slip resistance comes from quartz sand or similar aggregates mixed in or broadcast onto the surface. Grain size and quantity set the texture level.
Needs by area
Dry warehouses and corridors may need only a light texture. Wet production areas, oily workshops, ramps and cold stores need a more pronounced one.
Balancing cleaning
More texture holds more dirt. Especially where hygiene matters, grip and cleanability must be considered together.
A mixed approach
Different zones in one facility can have different textures: walkways and wet areas rougher, dry areas smoother.
Decide with a sample
Walking on and cleaning a small sample area before choosing gives a better idea than a description on paper.
Frequently Asked Questions

Is rougher always better?
No; too much texture makes cleaning harder, so choose by the area's needs.
Can one facility have different textures?
Yes; wet and sloping areas can be rougher and dry areas smoother.
