What is GRP?

GRP is the abbreviation for Glass Reinforced Plastic – sometimes known as fibreglass, composite plastic, or FRP (Fibre-Reinforced Polymer). GRP is a very strong and durable material that is light and versatile for all your health and safety requirements.

The fine fibres that make up GRP are strands of glass that are woven together, creating a ‘new’ flexible fabric. For products including stair nosing and flat sheets, they are moulded to shape. The high anti-slip properties which GRP products offer come from its aluminium oxide aggregate surface – delivering safety underfoot when you need it most.

The GRP surface is resistant against peeling back, cracking, splitting, or the anti-slip aggregate coming loose from the product surface. Stair nosing, GRP flat sheets, stair covers and non-slip GRP stair treads all offer excellent colour retention – which is essential for improved visibility on stairwells, low light external environments and on fire escape routes.

Anti-Slip Flooring – Stair and Floor GRP

All anti-slip plates and covers are constructed from extremely robust materials, and anti-slip access ramps’ maximum weight load (or strength to weight ratio) typically exceeds normal requirements – please refer to product datasheets always for exact specifications, installation guidelines, and maintenance support.

So, if you require a chemical and corrosion resistant, highly durable, lightweight, anti-slip solution for your property or work premises, browse the full range of

Non-Slip Outdoor Flooring

Regardless of the season, in the UK there is a constant demand for anti-slip outdoor flooring solutions. From retail estate outdoor areas at camping and gardening centres, to exterior smoking areas in the workplace or at dining establishments, anti-slip decking sheets grow in demand year-upon-year, as a long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing anti-slip measure to meet health and safety requirements.

These weatherproof covers can prolong the lifespan of the underlying decking structure, and ‘mask’ any discolouration and fading on large, exposed areas.

Anti-Slip Stair Tread Covers

Stair tread covers are cost effective ways to manage damaged, worn or slippery stairs in indoor or outdoor areas. Typically, black in colour, with yellow stair edges, these covers can be fixed into place on concrete, timber or steel with glue and/or screws.

Many Rust-Oleum’s anti-slip solutions are DDA compliant (Disability Discrimination Act 2005) with the contrasting noising to the stair tread cover significantly improving visibility – providing safe and durable access points at high-footfall industrial, commercial and public stairways.
