Product Information

Full details

FAQs

What materials are the anti-slip decking strips made from?

The strips are manufactured from corrosion-resistant fibreglass (GRP) with a hard-wearing quartz grit bonded to the top surface for a non-slip finish.

Are these strips suitable for areas that get very wet?

Yes, they are specifically designed to prevent slips on timber decking which often becomes slippery when wet or covered with algae.

How easy is it to install these strips?

Installation is straightforward as they come with free pre-drilling and screws. Basic DIY skills are sufficient for most installations.

What is the expected lifespan of these strips?

The strips are guaranteed for 10 years, indicating a long-lasting and durable solution.

Can these strips be used on surfaces other than timber decking?

They are ideal for timber decking, paths, ramps, and steps. They are designed for solid, flat wooden surfaces.

Do I need to maintain the strips regularly?

Occasional cleaning with water and a stiff brush is recommended to remove dirt and maintain optimal grip. They are otherwise low maintenance.

Are different sizes and colours available?

The product information indicates availability in various colours and sizes, though specific options should be checked at the point of purchase.

Troubleshooting

Strips feel loose after installation

Ensure screws are fully tightened. If the timber is soft, consider using longer or wider screws, or wood filler to create a firmer anchor point.

Grip seems reduced

Clean the surface of the strips thoroughly with a brush and water to remove dirt or residue that may be hindering grip. Ensure no oil or grease has contaminated the surface.

Strips do not conform to uneven surfaces

These strips are designed for flat surfaces. For uneven areas, consider alternative solutions or ensure the timber beneath is leveled first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  2. Position the Strips: Carefully place the anti-slip strips in the desired location. Ensure they are aligned correctly and cover the intended slippery area.
  3. Secure the Strips: Utilize the pre-drilled holes and provided screws to firmly attach the strips to the timber. Use appropriate screwdrivers for a secure fit. Ensure screws are driven flush with the surface.
