Anti Slip Plates

We are a specialist anti slip supplier of Screw Down Aluminium Anti Slip Plates. As Anti Slip Plates can be mechanically fixed using screws or nails, they are ideal for applications on wet or grooved surfaces. Reduces risk of slipping in wet/frosty weather. These anti slip plates can also be used on metal or concrete surfaces.

Wooden decking gets slippery, especially if it is shaded, but also just over time. It can be power hosed down, but unfortunately this is generally done after an accident happens. Wooden steps are a particular hazard. Slipping on decking can be very serious, especially if it happens to an old person slipping and breaking a bone, and if you are a commercial organisation you could be legally liable. There are various ways of reducing the chance of slipping.

a) Paint the steps with an anti slip paint. However anti slip paint can only be painted on decking when the decking is dry, and anti slip paint is only effective for a short time (maximum 1 to 2 years). And of course the time when you think of putting it down is when the decking is wet, so of course it cannot be done then.

b) Anti Slip Tape. Again this can only be put down on dry decking, and soon becomes unsightly when the anti slip tape begins to peel at the edges.

c) By far the best solution of avoiding slipping on decking steps is to screw down aluminium anti slip plates (these are pre drilled aluminium plates covered with a water resistant non slip coating of diamond hard aluminium oxide) onto the steps. Because these are screwed down to the steps they can be installed either on newly laid decking or fitted onto existing decking, even if this decking is wet.
