Tell us about your dock and where it sits. We will connect you with a certified applicator who can quote a slip resistant system.
Docks take sun, standing water, freeze-thaw, boat impact and bare feet all at once. Paint and stain wear through in a season or two and turn slick when wet. A spray polyurea dock coating builds a thick, seamless, slip resistant skin over wood, concrete, metal and foam floats. This guide explains what works on each dock type and how to spec it so it lasts.
The best dock coating for most boat docks, floating docks and piers is a slip resistant elastomeric system: a primer suited to the deck material, a spray polyurea or polyurethane body coat with non-skid aggregate, and an aliphatic UV-stable topcoat. It seals wood against rot, protects concrete and metal from water and salt, encapsulates foam floats, and stays flexible as the dock moves. Prep, moisture content and a proper non-skid texture decide how long it lasts.
Sand, clean and let the wood dry before coating. Polyurea seals boards and fasteners; follow the primer and moisture limits on the data sheet. See deck waterproofing.
Grind or blast, repair spalls and cracks, and prime. See seawall repair for marine concrete.
Blast and prime for adhesion; isolate dissimilar metals to slow corrosion.
Polyurea encapsulation shields EPS foam from UV, impact and animals that burrow into exposed foam.
Slopes need extra grip; use a coarser aggregate where wet feet climb.
The same systems protect pontoons and decks. See boat deck coating.
A smooth coating on a wet dock is a slip hazard. Applicators broadcast aggregate into the wet body coat, then lock it in with the topcoat. Finer grit is easier on bare feet; coarser grit gives more grip on ramps and in work areas.
Swim platforms and family docks where people walk barefoot.
Marina walkways and residential docks with mixed traffic.
Gangways, fuel docks and slopes where grip matters most.
Replace rotten boards and loose fasteners; check floats and frames.
Pressure wash, remove old loose coatings and let wood dry to the moisture limit.
Sand wood, grind concrete, blast metal; round sharp edges.
Apply the primer the coating maker specifies for each material.
Spray the body coat and broadcast non-skid aggregate while wet.
Lock in the grit with a UV-stable aliphatic topcoat.
ArmorThane manufactures polyurea and topcoats and trains applicators who coat docks, piers and boats. See pontoon boat flooring and marine coatings.
A certified ArmorThane applicator can inspect your dock and quote a sealed, slip resistant system with UV-stable color.

A slip resistant elastomeric system such as spray polyurea with aggregate and a UV-stable topcoat lasts much longer than paint or stain, as long as the wood is dry and properly prepared.
Yes. The deck can be coated like any dock, and foam floats can be encapsulated with polyurea to protect them from UV, impact and burrowing animals.
Smooth polyurea can be. Broadcast aggregate into the wet coat and seal it with the topcoat to get a slip resistant finish.
Paint and stain often need renewing every year or two. A properly applied polyurea system lasts many years, with topcoat renewal as it weathers.
Use products that are fully cured before water contact and follow local rules for work over water, including containment of overspray and debris.
Owners and marinas get a certified ArmorThane applicator and a clear quote. Contractors can add dock and marine coatings with our equipment and training, with no franchise fee and no royalties.
ArmorThane has built a strong reputation over the past 30 years for producing high-quality, durable protective coatings.
