Designed to complement natural wood tones, these non-slip strips offer superior safety without compromising the look of your outdoor space.
Made from a durable composite material with an advanced anti-slip coating, they deliver exceptional traction in all weather conditions. Perfect for decking, stairs, and walkways, these easy-to-install anti-slip strips provide an instant upgrade for both residential and commercial environments.

Avoid Short-Term Fixes – Choose a Blended Colour, Long-Lasting Solution
Many quick fixes, such as pressure washing, wood cleaners, gritted paint, or anti-slip tape, may seem like an easy way to restore grip to slippery decking. However, these methods only provide temporary relief and require frequent reapplication:
- Pressure washing removes surface algae but does not prevent regrowth, meaning regular upkeep is needed.
- Wood cleaners improve surface grip temporarily but do not provide long-term slip resistance.
- Gritted paint and anti-slip tape wear down quickly, especially in high-traffic areas, leading to repeated costs and maintenance.

Installation
Anti-Slip Decking Strips installation guide
Cutting of Decking Strips (where required)
We can do this for you, simply select the cut to size option and enter the exact sizes you require.
Our anti slip decking strips can easily be cut to size or shape with a hacksaw, however if you are planning to cut a large amount of strips this can be carried out with orbital cutting equipment with either a stone or diamond blade. Cutting should be carried out externally or where there is dust extraction/suitable ventilation and appropriate protective equipment should be worn.
Preparation of decking area / steps
Sweep clean the installation area.
Mechanical fixing of Decking Strips
When supplied pre-drilled, decking / step strips will already have holes drilled as per point 1 below. No need to countersink, the pre-drilled holes will allow our screws to self countersink, provided a good fixing is achieved.
- Fixing is generally recommended centrally max 50mm in from each end and with a maximum distance between the remaining holes of 250mm, again centrally.
- If using a cordless screwdriver ensure correct torque setting in order to avoid over tightening and stripping.
- To attain a firm fit to the decking screws should be fastened consecutively either left to right or right to left.
The installer should ensure that the substrate is of sufficient quality to achieve a secure fixing.
Miscellaneous
The installation instructions make no claim to being comprehensive but should be used as a guide. Always employ safe practices. It's recommended that to first test the suitability of any fixing method on a small area before carrying out a full installation programme.
Installation Service
A fitting service is available if required. Please call 01206 227 660 for a quote.
Maintenance
Cleaning Decking Strips
Use of a stiff brush will usually be sufficient to remove everyday dirt and debris. For more stubborn items try a mild detergent with warm water. Prior to carrying out a full cleaning programme it's advisable to first test the suitability of the detergent on a small inconspicuous area.
Pressure Wash
If conditions allow, a pressure washer on a low setting can be used to clean the Decking Strips. However, if the strips have been secured with an adhesive agent or sealed with a sealant repeated use of a pressure washer could undermine the integrity of the adhesive / sealant. Again, prior to carrying out a full cleaning programme it's advisable to first test the suitability of the pressure wash on a small inconspicuous area.
General Routine Maintenance
The security of any fixings and the integrity of the products gritted surface and GRP substrate should be checked on a regular basis. The frequency of which will depend on the nature and volume of footfall. As a guide, for high traffic areas monthly inspections would be advisable.
