Product Information

Full details

The GreenTec Anti Slip GRP Decking Strips are designed for homeowners and professionals seeking to enhance safety on outdoor surfaces like decks, steps, and ramps. The key benefit is the significant reduction in slip and fall risks, especially in wet or icy conditions, thanks to their durable fibreglass reinforced plastic construction and aggressive anti-slip grit surface. A potential caveat is that their 1000mm length may require cutting for custom fits on certain applications. These strips offer a robust, weather-resistant solution for improving traction and durability in high-traffic outdoor areas.

FAQs

What material are the GreenTec Anti Slip Decking Strips made from?

They are manufactured from heavy-duty fibreglass reinforced plastic (GRP), which is known for its strength and durability.

Are these strips suitable for icy conditions?

Yes, the durable anti-slip grit surface is designed to provide excellent grip in wet and icy conditions, helping to reduce the risk of slips.

How are the strips installed?

Installation is quick and easy using the included screws to fasten the strips to your decking, steps, or ramps.

What are the dimensions of each strip?

Each strip measures 1000mm in length and 50mm in width, with an approximate thickness of 3mm.

Can I cut the strips to a different size?

While the material can be cut, it is recommended to use the full 1000mm length for optimal performance and safety. If cutting is necessary, ensure edges are finished cleanly.

Are these strips suitable for indoor use?

These strips are designed and rated for outdoor use due to their weather-resistant properties. While they can be used indoors, their primary benefit is enhancing safety on outdoor surfaces prone to moisture and ice.

How do I clean the anti-slip surface?

Clean the surface with a stiff brush and water to remove dirt and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the grit.

Troubleshooting

Strips are not providing enough grip.

Ensure the grit surface is clean and free of mud, ice, or other contaminants. Heavy build-up can reduce effectiveness. For persistent issues, consider if the grit has worn down over extreme long-term use, which may indicate replacement is needed.

Screws will not tighten properly.

Check if the pilot holes are too large for the screws. If installing on very soft wood, the screws may not find sufficient purchase. Consider using slightly larger screws or wood filler/epoxy in the hole before re-inserting the screw. Ensure the surface itself is solid and not rotten.

Strips feel loose after installation.

Re-tighten all screws. If the surface material is soft or has degraded, the screws may not hold. Ensure you are using appropriate fixings for the substrate, and consider reinforcing the area if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Prepare the Surface: Ensure the area where the strip will be installed is clean, dry, and free from debris. For optimal adhesion and stability, the underlying surface should be sound.
  2. Mark Placement: Position the strip according to your needs, ensuring it lies flat and covers the desired area. Mark the screw hole locations.
  3. Pre-drill Holes (Recommended): For harder materials like dense wood or existing composite decking, pre-drilling pilot holes slightly smaller than the screws can ease installation and prevent splitting.
  4. Secure the Strip: Use the included screws to firmly attach the anti-slip strip to the surface. Ensure all screws are tightened securely.

Compatibility:

These strips are designed for use on various outdoor surfaces including timber decking, composite decking, concrete steps, and wooden ramps. They are compatible with most common outdoor construction materials.

Care:

Regular cleaning with a stiff brush and water is recommended to remove dirt and debris that may accumulate on the grit surface. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools that could damage the grit. The GRP material is inherently resistant to corrosion and weathering, requiring minimal maintenance beyond basic cleaning.
