Product Information

Full details

This guide is for homeowners and property managers looking to enhance safety on wooden decking, paths, ramps, and steps, especially in wet conditions or areas prone to green algae. The key benefit is a significant reduction in slips, trips, and falls due to the hard-wearing, non-slip quartz grit surface. A potential caveat is the 50mm width, which may require careful placement for optimal coverage on wider surfaces. Slips Away Non Slip Decking Strips are manufactured from corrosion-resistant fibreglass (GRP), ensuring they will never rot or rust, offering a durable and long-lasting solution for high pedestrian traffic areas.

FAQs

What material are the Slips Away Decking Strips made from?

They are manufactured from corrosion-resistant fibreglass (GRP), which ensures they will never rot or rust.

How do these strips prevent slips?

They feature a hard-wearing quartz grit bonded to the top surface, providing superior traction even in wet conditions.

What is the expected lifespan of these strips?

The product comes with a 10-year life guarantee.

Are these strips suitable for indoor use?

These strips are primarily designed for outdoor use on timber decking, paths, ramps, and steps where slip hazards are common.

Do the strips come with fixings?

Yes, they come with free pre-drilled holes and screws for easy installation.

How wide are the strips?

The non-slip strips are 50mm wide with a convex design.

Can I paint these strips?

Painting is not recommended as it may cover the anti-slip grit and affect its performance. They are available in various colours, including brown.

Troubleshooting

Strips are not adhering well.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from any contaminants before installation. Check that screws are fully tightened and appropriate for the substrate.

Surface still feels slippery under the strips.

Verify that the quartz grit surface is clean and free of slime or debris. Ensure the strips are installed correctly and are not damaged. If the substrate itself is the issue, consider additional safety measures.

Drilling through the strips is difficult.

Use a drill bit suitable for fibreglass or composite materials. Apply steady pressure and avoid excessive speed to prevent overheating or splintering.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Clean the surface where the strips will be installed, ensuring it is free from dirt, debris, and loose material.
  2. Position the 50mm wide strips according to your desired layout, ensuring they are straight and evenly spaced.
  3. Utilize the free pre-drilled holes on the strips. If additional holes are needed, carefully drill through the GRP material.
  4. Secure the strips to the decking or surface using the provided screws. Ensure they are firmly attached.

Compatibility:

These strips are designed for use on timber decking, wooden paths, ramps, and steps. They are suitable for outdoor use in pedestrian traffic areas. They are compatible with various wood types but should not be applied to flexible or uneven surfaces without appropriate preparation.

Care:

Maintain the anti-slip properties by periodically cleaning the strips. Use a stiff brush and soapy water to remove dirt, algae, or debris. For stubborn grime, a mild detergent can be used. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the quartz grit surface. Regular cleaning will ensure the long-term effectiveness and appearance of the strips.
