Anti Slip Decking Strips
GRP anti-slip decking strips are surface-mounted slip prevention strips manufactured from 3mm thick GRP sheet with heavy-duty quartz aggregate bonded to the surface. They are designed for retrofit installation on existing timber, metal, or concrete decking surfaces using adhesive and/or screw fixings, providing long-term slip resistance without removing or replacing the existing surface.
Available in widths of 50mm, 90mm, and 120mm and lengths from 1m to 3m with cut-to-size options, these strips are suitable for commercial and domestic timber decks, ramps, piers, access bridges, garden centres, and outdoor hospitality areas. The quartz grit surface far outperforms anti-slip tapes and floor paints in both durability and slip resistance.
Reliable Slip Prevention for Outdoor and Commercial Surfaces
GRP anti-slip decking strips are used wherever an existing walking surface needs slip resistance improvement without a full replacement. They are particularly effective on outdoor timber decks that become hazardous when wet, on ramps and loading areas where grip is critical, on jetties and marine walkways exposed to spray and biological growth, and on public walkways where a retrofitted safety upgrade is required.
Unlike anti-slip tape, which degrades rapidly in outdoor conditions, or floor paints, which wear and require reapplication, GRP decking strips have a permanent quartz aggregate surface that maintains grip under heavy foot traffic. Installation is straightforward using standard tools, adhesive, and screw fixings with no specialist training required.

Outlasts Tape and Paint
Heavy-duty quartz aggregate bonded into the GRP surface provides permanent grip under heavy foot traffic. Unlike anti-slip tape, it does not peel, bubble, or degrade in wet outdoor conditions.
Quick and Easy to Install
GRP decking strips are lightweight and straightforward to install using standard tools. No specialist training required. Can be installed on existing surfaces without removal or resurfacing.
Colour Options for Every Environment
Available in yellow hazard, beige, brown, black, and white to complement the existing surface or meet safety colour requirements. Custom RAL colours available for volume orders.
GRP Anti-Slip Strips for Timber Decks, Ramps, Jetties, and Public Walkways
Timber Decks and Outdoor Hospitality
Beige and brown colour options blend with natural timber surfaces. Ideal for restaurant terraces, hotel gardens, garden centres, and commercial outdoor areas where a discrete slip-resistance solution is required.
Ramps and Pedestrian Access
Yellow hazard strips provide clear visual warning on ramps, threshold transitions, and stepped access areas. Screw-down fixing provides secure, permanent installation on high-traffic surfaces.
Jetties, Piers, and Marine Walkways
GRP construction is immune to saltwater, moisture, and biological growth. Anti-slip strips on marine walkways and jetty surfaces provide reliable grip where wet conditions are constant.
Industrial and Commercial Applications
Black or yellow strips are used on loading bays, industrial ramps, and factory access routes where slip prevention is a health and safety requirement.
