Product Information

Full details

These anti-slip decking strips from Slips Away are designed for homeowners and facility managers looking to enhance safety on timber decking, paths, ramps, and steps. The key benefit is preventing slips, trips, and falls, especially in wet conditions or when algae is present. A potential caveat is the need for proper installation to ensure longevity and effectiveness. These strips are made from durable, corrosion-resistant fibreglass (GRP) with a hard-wearing quartz grit surface for superior grip, ensuring they will not rot or rust, and are built for high pedestrian traffic areas.

FAQs

What material are the Slips Away Decking Strips made from?

They are manufactured from corrosion-resistant fibreglass (GRP), making them durable and resistant to rot and rust.

How do I install these strips?

Installation typically involves fixing them to the surface using exterior-grade screws or a strong, weather-resistant adhesive. Always ensure the surface is clean and dry first.

Are these strips suitable for all weather conditions?

Yes, the GRP material and quartz grit surface are designed to withstand various weather conditions, including rain, sun, and frost.

What is the guarantee period for these strips?

The Slips Away Non Slip Decking Strips are guaranteed for 10 years.

How wide are the decking strips?

The strips are 50mm wide and feature a convex design.

Can these strips be used on surfaces other than timber decking?

How do I clean the non-slip strips?

Clean them with a stiff brush and mild detergent with water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Strips are not adhering well

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned and dried before installation. Re-apply with a stronger, appropriate exterior adhesive or consider mechanical fixing with screws if the substrate allows.

Surface grip seems reduced over time

Clean the strips thoroughly with a stiff brush and mild detergent to remove any embedded dirt or grime that might be reducing traction. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Strips have become loose

Check the fixings (screws or adhesive). Tighten or re-apply as necessary, ensuring a secure bond to the underlying surface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely durable and weather-resistant GRP material
  • Long-lasting grip due to quartz grit surface
  • Low maintenance requirements
  • Guaranteed for 10 years

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Installation typically involves securely fixing the strips to the desired surface. This can be achieved using appropriate exterior-grade screws (not supplied) for timber or decking, or by using a strong, weather-resistant adhesive suitable for GRP and the substrate material. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from debris before application. For best results, follow manufacturer instructions for any chosen fixing method.

Compatibility:

These strips are primarily designed for use on timber decking, wooden paths, ramps, and steps. They can also be applied to other solid, stable surfaces where a non-slip solution is required, provided a suitable fixing method is used.

Care:

To maintain the effectiveness and appearance of the Slips Away strips, regular cleaning is recommended. Use a stiff brush and mild detergent with water to remove dirt, mud, or surface grime. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning materials, which could damage the quartz grit surface. The GRP material itself is easy to clean and resistant to staining.
