GRP Grating
Our GRP grating provides durable anti-slip flooring solutions for industrial and commercial applications. Manufactured from glass-reinforced plastic with fire-resistant additives, these lightweight panels offer superior corrosion resistance compared to steel. Available in open mesh, mini-mesh, and solid top configurations, they meet BS 7976-2:2002 standards for slip resistance while maintaining structural integrity in harsh environments.
Anti-Slip Stair Treads
GRP stair tread covers retrofit existing steps to enhance pedestrian safety in high-traffic areas. Compliant with Equality Act regulations, these 4-5mm thick covers feature 55mm down-stand nosings and chemical-resistant surfaces. Suitable for installation on timber, concrete, or steel substrates, they provide immediate slip protection in environments ranging from railway stations to multi-storey car parks.
Non-Slip Decking Strips
Surface-mounted decking strips offer rapid installation for timber and concrete walkways. Available in 50-100mm widths with chamfered edges, these GRP strips maintain traction in wet/icy conditions while blending aesthetically with existing surfaces. Supplied with colour-matched screws, they provide long-term safety solutions for balconies, footbridges, and marine environments without requiring structural modifications.
Tactile Paving
Surface-mounted tactile paving systems enhance accessibility for visually impaired pedestrians. Our polyurethane blister and corduroy tactiles achieve SRV 61 slip resistance while complying with highway regulations. Quick-curing adhesive enables installation in damp conditions, making them suitable for kerbs, stairwells, and railway platforms without excavation requirements.
GRP Structural Profiles
Custom GRP structural profiles provide corrosion-resistant alternatives to metal components. Available as I-beams, channels, and box sections compliant with EN13706 standards, these profiles combine high strength-to-weight ratios with electrical non-conductivity. Ideal for constructing walkways, handrails, and support structures in chemically aggressive environments where traditional materials would degrade.

Questions
What materials are GripClad products made from?
Our products use glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) with isophthalic polyester resin and aluminium oxide grit for slip resistance, offering superior durability compared to traditional materials.
Are GripClad solutions compliant with safety regulations?
All products meet BS 7976-2:2002 standards for slip resistance and comply with Equality Act requirements for accessible environments.
Can products be customised to specific dimensions?
We offer made-to-measure cutting services for all GRP panels, ensuring precise fitting to unique architectural requirements and existing structures.
How are products installed?
Most systems use mechanical fixings or specialist adhesives, with detailed guidance provided. Professional installation support can be arranged for complex projects.
What environments are GRP products suitable for?
Our solutions perform in extreme conditions including chemical exposure, high footfall areas, and marine environments due to inherent corrosion resistance.
What is the expected lifespan of GripClad products?
Designed for minimum 25-year service life, GRP components maintain performance without degradation from UV exposure, moisture, or temperature fluctuations.
