Anti-Slip Flooring Solutions for Hazardous Surfaces
For areas where coatings alone are not suitable, permanent or removable anti-slip coverings offer high-performance safety underfoot. Designed to reduce the risk of slips and falls, these solutions include stair tread covers, nosings, flat sheets, and ramp overlays—all reinforced for tough environments like warehouses, schools, and outdoor access points.
Used alongside anti-slip floor paints, GRP and non-slip coverings provide a second line of defence where surfaces are already worn or where constant footfall and exposure to weather create extra hazards. Highly visible edging, durable textures, and minimal installation downtime make them a smart choice for health and safety compliance.
These products are also ideal in areas exposed to moisture, oils, or frost, where a tough anti-slip profile is essential. From entrance ramps to industrial stairs, they’re a long-lasting alternative or supplement to anti-slip floor paint, especially where textured grip and visibility are critical.
Anti-Slip Treads and Nosings FAQs
Can anti-slip stair treads be used outdoors all year round?
Yes, anti-slip stair treads made from GRP or fibreglass are highly resistant to moisture, frost, and UV exposure. Their grit surfaces remain effective even in icy or wet weather, making them ideal for UK outdoor stairs in both private and public locations. Fixing methods such as glue and screw ensure they stay in place during seasonal changes.
What surface preparation is needed before fitting these products?
Minimal preparation is usually required. Surfaces should be clean, dry, and structurally sound. For damaged or uneven substrates, flat GRP plates may be used as a base. Fixings depend on the product—some require adhesives, others can be screwed into place. Always consult the product datasheet for correct installation advice.
Are anti-slip nosings compliant with health and safety regulations?
Yes, many stair nosings are compliant with DDA (Disability Discrimination Act) guidelines. They feature contrasting colours to improve step-edge visibility, which is vital in public, commercial, and emergency access areas. Slip resistance is typically tested to BS 7976-2 to ensure performance in real-world conditions.
How do GRP products compare to metal or rubber options?
GRP offers excellent durability, corrosion resistance, and a high strength-to-weight ratio. Unlike metal, it doesn’t rust, and it provides better slip resistance in wet conditions. Compared to rubber, it handles foot traffic and harsh environments far more effectively, making it suitable for industrial and commercial use.
Can I install these products temporarily for events or construction sites?
Yes, many anti-slip treads and sheets are suited to temporary use. Portable ramp plates, threshold covers, and stair treads can be secured using non-permanent fixings or clamps. This makes them ideal for temporary steps, stage access, or construction zones where surfaces change often or need fast hazard control.
