Where anti-slip strips are used

Walkway routes

Add grip lines to pedestrian routes, service walkways, access paths and areas where full sheet coverage is not required.

Steps and ramps

Use strips to improve traction on steps, ramps, thresholds and transition points exposed to wet or slippery conditions.

Decking and timber surfaces

Retrofit anti-slip strips to timber decking, boards and external access routes where surface grip has reduced.

Why choose GRP anti-slip strips?

  • Targeted slip resistance without covering the full surface.
  • Practical for retrofit safety upgrades and maintenance work.
  • Corrosion-resistant and suitable for outdoor and industrial environments.
  • Available in different lengths, widths and high-visibility options.
  • Useful where budgets or site details make full sheets unnecessary.

Choosing the right anti-slip strip

The right strip depends on the surface material, route width, spacing, exposure, fixing method and whether the installation needs a contrasting colour for visibility.

For cut-to-size requirements, send the strip length, quantity and fixing surface. Photos are useful for timber, metal, concrete or unusual substrates.

Useful details to send

  • Strip width and length
  • Quantity or route length
  • Fixing surface and environment
  • Colour or visibility requirements
  • Delivery postcode and target date

Technical specification checkpoint

Specify the overlay as a complete retrofit system

GRP sheets and strips improve the surface of a sound substrate. Selection must address the existing structure, edge transitions, aggregate, cover thickness, fixing system and foreseeable contamination.

Substrate firstIdentify steel, concrete, timber, tile or GRP; repair corrosion, rot, cracking, movement and contamination before covering.
Surface gradeChoose aggregate and grit coarseness for footwear, traffic and cleaning. Coarser is not automatically better for every user.
Edges and interfacesCoordinate doors, thresholds, drainage channels, joints and exposed corners so the overlay does not introduce a trip edge.
Fixing systemUse compatible adhesive plus project-appropriate mechanical restraint where required; verify pull-out, edge distance and access beneath.
Specification areaWhat to establishEngineering boundary
Slip evidenceWet and dry PTV, slider, direction, surface condition and report reference.Specify representative contamination; retain the supplier’s test report.
GeometryOverall area, cut sizes, thickness, joint layout, falls and transition details.A surface cover does not correct an unsuitable ramp, stair or walkway geometry.
EnvironmentUV, water, oils, chemicals, temperature, coastal exposure and cleaning agents.Confirm resin, aggregate, adhesive and fastener compatibility.
MaintenanceInspection for loose edges, worn grit, cracks, blocked drainage and bond failure.Set inspection frequency from risk, use and exposure rather than claiming maintenance-free service.

Important: These products are normally non-structural retrofit covers. They must not bridge unsupported gaps or conceal an unsound substrate unless a separately designed system permits it.

Primary references: HSE GEIS2; Approved Document K; and the relevant current project, accessibility and asset-owner requirements.

GRP anti-slip strip routes

Use anti-slip strips where targeted grip is better than full-sheet coverage

GRP anti-slip strips can improve grip on timber, concrete, steel, decking and repeated pedestrian routes. Choose strip width, length, fixing pattern and edge placement around the actual traffic route.

Compare sheets and strips

Use strips for targeted coverage and sheets or plates where a larger surface needs full coverage.

Decking and walkways

Match strip coverage to boards, edges, slopes, ramps and pedestrian approach routes.

Installation checks

Confirm substrate condition, drilling, adhesive compatibility and cleaning before fitting.
