Epoxy Overlay Aggregates for High-Friction, Non-Slip Surfaces
Kafka Granite produces over 40 different types of crushed marble, granite, quartz, and recycled aggregate for use with epoxy overlays. Our aggregates have been used in overlays of road surfaces, rooftops, and many other applications where a hard stone that won’t break down over time is necessary.
High Friction Surfacing
Kafka Granite works with individual state Department of Transportation specifications to produce strong, durable aggregates for high-friction, non-skid road surfaces. Whether bridge decks, exit/entrance ramps, curves, or other preexisting roadway, driving conditions can be greatly improved when this aggregate is applied with a two-part epoxy. Read more ➞
Streetscape
Kafka Granite’s wide variety of colored epoxy overlay aggregates are applied to preexisting sidewalks, trails, bike paths, and cross walks to enhance the streetscape and increase the traction from an otherwise boring and slippery concrete surface. Read more ➞
White Roof
Kafka Granite’s bright White Quartz, Recycled Porcelain, and naturally round Birchwood Granite can be utilized for a new trend to offset the heat-island effect, often referred to as “White Roof” or “Cool Roof”. The Quartz and Porcelain can be applied with an epoxy, while the Birchwood Granite can function as a more traditional roof ballast. Read more ➞

How customizable is Kafka’s epoxy overlay aggregate?
Kafka’s experts can work with you to ensure you’re receiving aggregate that meets your exact specifications. If using our crushed stone or recycled material for your high-friction surfacing, we can work with you to make sure all DOT standards are met for your specific requirements per your state.
Along with our variety of material options for your epoxy overlay, Kafka is widely known for its color variety. We carry nearly 60 different colors across granite, marble, quartz and other materials, so your streetscape or high-friction surfacing is sure to match your desired design and aesthetic. We can provide aggregate that blends in with natural surroundings or aggregate to add color variety of differentiation across areas, e.g., separate crosswalks or bike lanes from main roads. We also offer different white roof options for both recycled content and high reflectivity.
How is epoxy overlay aggregate different than standard aggregate?
The aggregates are the same, however their applications are different. While Kafka manufactures the same aggregate for non-epoxy applications, an epoxy overlay used with our aggregates renders surfaces impermeable, very durable and long-lasting.
