The Slips Away Decking Plates - Aluminium Screw Down are designed for anyone needing enhanced safety on unstable or potentially slippery surfaces. They provide a robust grip to prevent slips and falls, making them ideal for workplaces and homes. A key benefit is their durable aluminium construction and screw-down design for secure installation, though they require a stable substrate for effective mounting.

The type of screws depends on your substrate. For timber, use wood screws. For concrete, use masonry screws or anchors. Always select screws that are long enough to securely fasten the plate without protruding excessively.
Yes, the aluminium construction is corrosion-resistant, making them suitable for wet environments like outdoor steps or poolside areas.
Ensure the timber is as dry as possible before installation. You may need to add a thin, rigid backing board beneath the decking plate to create a stable surface for screwing.
Yes, the durable aluminium and secure screw-down installation are designed to withstand heavy foot traffic in both residential and commercial settings.
Cutting aluminium decking plates may be possible with appropriate metal cutting tools, but it can be difficult and may leave sharp edges. It is recommended to use the plates as supplied or in sections.
It is advisable to check the security of the plates periodically, especially after periods of heavy use or adverse weather, to ensure screws remain tight.
Ensure the correct type and length of screws were used for the substrate. Re-tighten all screws, and if the substrate is soft, consider using anchors or a backing plate.
Inspect for debris. Clean with a stiff brush and water. If significant wear is present, consider replacement of the plate.
Use a drill bit appropriate for the material. If drilling into very hard surfaces like concrete, use a masonry bit and ensure it is sharp.
Setup: Ensure the surface where the plates will be installed is clean and dry. Position the decking plate and mark the screw hole locations. Pre-drilling pilot holes may be necessary for harder materials. Secure the plate using appropriate screws (not included) suitable for the substrate. Ensure all screws are tightened firmly to prevent movement.
Compatibility: These plates are ideal for use on timber, concrete, or other solid surfaces that may be degraded or unstable. They are designed to create a stable footing where direct tape application might fail. Not recommended for very flexible or porous surfaces without a stabilizing underlayment.
Care: Clean regularly with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the grip surface. Periodically check that screws remain tight and the plate is securely fastened.
