When you need to make a surface safer, one of the most common questions is:
better Alpha Grip or Dura Grip E2?

Both anti-slip paints from SlipDoctors can be used both indoors and outdoors, but they meet different needs.

The correct choice depends on four key factors:

1. type of surface

2. level of traffic (pedestrian or vehicular)

3. expected result in terms of durability and resistance

4. simplicity or complexity of application

Let's look at them in detail.
