Anti slip Decking Strips

• Anti Slip - gritted surface tested in accordance with BS7976-2. It provides an exceptional level of slip resistance in all directions. Lifespan guaranteed for 10 years subject to standard use applications.
• Fire Resistant - performance complies with Euro Class 1 and ISO 11952-2. Performance is equivalent to ASTM E84 class 1 and BS476 part 7 class 2 flame spread to give a 30 minute burn time. 
• Non-Conductive - GRP acts as an insulator making it ideal for application in and around HV plant and equipment. It can also be supplied with a carbon finish to provide static discharge characteristics needed in electro-static sensitive environments.   
• Made in GB - Manufactured entirely at our premises in the UK in accordance with our ISO 9001 accredited Quality Management System - the structural integrity of the material is high grade.

Anti slip Floor Sheets, Stair Treads & Landing Treads

• Anti Slip - gritted surface tested in accordance with BS7976-2. It provides an exceptional level of slip resistance in all directions. Lifespan guaranteed for 10 years subject to standard use applications.
• Fire Resistant - meets Class A2-s1 in accordance with EN ISO 9239-1.
• Lightweight - only 1/3 the weight of steel, GRP is a convenient, fast, and safe installation material, reducing the risk of manual handling injuries, and easily cut on-site without the need for hot works permits.
• Non-Conductive - GRP acts as an insulator making it ideal for application in and around HV plant and equipment. It can also be supplied with a carbon finish to provide static discharge characteristics needed in electro-static sensitive environments.   
• Made in GB - Manufactured entirely at our premises in the UK in accordance with our ISO 9001 accredited Quality Management System - the structural integrity of the material is high grade.

Anti slip Stair Nosing

• Anti Slip - gritted surface tested in accordance with BS7976-2. It provides an exceptional level of slip resistance in all directions. Lifespan guaranteed for 10 years subject to standard use applications.
• Fire Resistant - meets Class A2-s1 in accordance with EN ISO 9239-1.
• Lightweight - only 1/3 the weight of steel, GRP is a convenient, fast, and safe installation material, reducing the risk of manual handling injuries, and easily cut on-site without the need for hot works permits.
• Non-Conductive - GRP acts as an insulator making it ideal for application in and around HV plant and equipment. It can also be supplied with a carbon finish to provide static discharge characteristics needed in electro-static sensitive environments.  

Anti slip Grating

• Anti Slip Surface - tested in accordance with BS 7976 with slip potential rated 'Extremely Low', achieving only 5% reduction after 1 million footfalls. Durable 10-year guarantee for normal use environments.
• Fire Resistant - meets Class B fire rating in accordance with BS EN 13501.
• Lightweight - only 1/3 the weight of steel, GRP Grating is a convenient, fast, and safe installation material, reducing the risk of manual handling injuries, and can be easily cut on-site without the need for hot works permits.
• Non-Conductive - GRP acts as an insulator making it ideal for application in and around HV plant and equipment. It can also be supplied with a carbon finish to provide static discharge characteristics needed in electro-static sensitive environments.

Standard Duty, Heavy Duty and Fine Grit comparison

Standard Duty - Ideal for: normal pedestrian traffic and industrial applications.

Platforms, staircases, steps, fire escapes, emergency exits, public access stairways. Our standard duty stair covers are suitable for most applications and give many years of service under normal conditions.

Heavy Duty ToughGrip - Ideal for busy pedestrian traffic, industrial applications.

Train stations, stadiums, car parks, busy public walkways and stairways. If your requirement is in a very high foot fall area, or you just want the most hardwearing stair tread covers we produce - then our heavy duty coarse grit product is for you.

Fine Grit ToughGrip - Ideal for normal pedestrian traffic. 

For less industrial applications, easier to clean with a less aggressive surface. Suitable for more sensitive areas such as play areas, schools, in domestic and commercial environments - generally for interior use but can be used outside if deemed suitable.

Available in Stair Treads, Stair Landing Covers and Floor Sheets.

About slip resistance testing

Hardness rating

Ref: Mohs Hardness scale.

What is Hardness? 

Hardness is the resistance of a material to deformation, indentation, or penetration by means such as abrasion, drilling, impact, scratching, and/or wear.

What is the Mohs hardness scale?

The Mohs scale of mineral hardness is a scale that characterizes the scratch resistance of various minerals through the ability of a harder material to scratch a softer material. Mohs Hardness Test compares the resistance of a mineral to being scratched by ten reference minerals known as the Mohs Hardness Scale. 

Friedrich Mohs, a German mineralogist, developed the scale in 1812. He selected ten minerals of distinctly different hardness that ranged from a very soft mineral (talc) to a very hard mineral (diamond).
