DYCO® Court & Floor is a new anti-slip coating for commercial and residential recreational surfaces, porches, steps, walkways and more. This 100% acrylic, medium-textured coating is an outstanding choice for use over asphalt, concrete, or other previously coated surfaces where an extremely durable, skid-resistant finish is desired. DYCO® Court & Floor provides a colorful, nonskid surface that is easy to apply, provides superior adhesion and is fade resistant. The court colorizer (for pickleball and basketball) is available on the website, a helpful tool for DIYers looking to start their project.

The new product comes amidst the recent brand and labeling refresh. All DYCO® products’ new labeling more easily enables product identification, allowing users to select the right products for the right jobs more efficiently. With a sleeker design, clearer labeling, and more prominent imagery, consumers and professionals alike can trust in their selection of a high-quality product.

“As we redesigned our product packaging, we wanted DYCO® products to leap off the shelves, immediately recognizable as the ideal solution for a broad range of needs,” said Doerge. “Whether you’re painting a pool, or refreshing a driveway, DYCO® products offer a high-quality solution that’s suitable for DIY and professional use.”

The entire product line includes high-quality pool paints, pool deck coatings, concrete stains, paver sealers, and bonding primers that enable end users to obtain attractive finishes that provide long-term protection for a range of applications.
