Ice Traction For Tires

Making concrete driveway traction easier is essential maintaining a concrete surface and adding ice traction for tires. Ice and snow can cause problems for those who live in cold climates, especially when walking on ice. You can prevent this from happening by using one or more of these methods to increase the traction that your driveway has:

Here’s An Easy Way To Increase Traction For Walking On Ice.

If you’re looking to increase traction on a concrete surface, this is an easy solution. Concrete surfaces are slippery and can cause accidents. The best way to keep concrete surfaces safe is by applying some protective or anti-slip material to them. You may want to avoid putting down sand or gravel because these materials are only temporary fixes that won’t last long, which means they will require constant upkeep throughout the year (and possibly even more than once per year).

One of the easiest ways to increase concrete driveway traction is by using a traction agent. A traction agent can be applied to your concrete driveway and will increase the grip of your surface for walking on ice. You may want to use a traction agent if you live in an area with snow or if it rains often and you do not want to risk slipping on your driveway.

The Walk On Ice traction formula acts like absorbers and grippers, comprising seven naturally occurring geo-crystals dried and milled. The absorbers siphon the water, and the grippers bite into ice/snow to create a non-slippery surface. The best thing about Walk On Ice is that it does not take time to act on the surface and creates instant traction. It is easy to carry and equally simple to clear off. You can safely use it liberally over any surface such as brick, wood, concrete, asphalt, pavers, etc.

Sweep The Surface Well To Remove Any Loose Debris.

Sweep the surface well to remove any loose debris. This is an important part of the process, so be sure to use a stiff broom or other tools that will pick up large pieces of debris without leaving scratches on your concrete driveway.

Once you’ve swept up all loose materials, use a pneumatic concrete broom attachment to sweep over the entire surface again. This will help and remove any smaller pieces that may have been missed during your initial sweep (the stiff bristles help give it better traction).
