FAQs

What material are the strips made from?

The strips are manufactured from Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP), a durable and corrosion-resistant fibreglass material.

Will these strips rot or rust?

No, the GRP material used for these strips will never rot or rust, making them ideal for outdoor use.

How wide are the strips?

The non-slip strips have a 50mm width and a convex design for optimal grip.

Are screws included for installation?

Yes, the strips come with free pre-drill holes and free screws for easy installation.

Can these be used on surfaces other than timber decking?

While designed primarily for timber decking, they can also be effective on paths, ramps, and steps made of wood or similar materials.

How should I clean the anti-slip strips?

Regular cleaning with a stiff brush and water is recommended. Avoid abrasive chemicals.

Are these suitable for commercial use?

Yes, they are ideal for use in high pedestrian traffic areas due to their hard-wearing nature.

Troubleshooting

Strips feel loose after installation

Ensure all provided screws are tightened securely. If the decking is soft, consider using longer screws or pilot holes for a firmer hold.

Grip seems reduced over time

Clean the surface of the strips thoroughly with a brush and water to remove any accumulated dirt or algae that might be obscuring the grit.

Strips are difficult to cut to size

Use a suitable cutting tool for fibreglass, such as a fine-toothed saw or a jigsaw with a suitable blade. Wear protective eyewear and gloves as fibreglass can be irritating.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Prevents slips on wet or algae-covered decking.
  • Constructed from durable, non-rotting, and non-rusting GRP.
  • Provides excellent grip with its quartz grit surface.
  • Easy to install with included fixings.
  • Designed for longevity and high-traffic areas.

Cons

  • May require pre-drilling of additional holes for specific decking types.
  • The brown color might not match all aesthetic preferences.
  • Installation requires basic DIY skills and tools.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Preparation: Ensure the decking surface is clean, dry, and free from debris or algae.
  2. Positioning: Place the strip along the edge of the decking board or step where grip is most needed.
  3. Securing: Use the provided screws to fasten the strip through the pre-drilled holes. For enhanced security, additional screws can be used, and pre-drilling pilot holes in the decking may be advisable depending on the wood type.

Compatibility:

These strips are designed for use on timber decking, wooden paths, ramps, and steps. They can be cut to size if necessary, though care must be taken as cutting may expose raw fibreglass edges.

Care:

  • Clean the strips periodically with water and a stiff brush to remove dirt and prevent the buildup of algae.
  • Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, which could damage the grit surface.
  • Regularly check that the fixings remain secure.
