Anti-Slip Decking
Our anti-slip decking incorporates factory-bonded inserts that permanently eliminate slipping hazards on timber surfaces. Available in softwood, hardwood, and thermally modified options, these pre-engineered solutions suit commercial walkways, residential gardens, and industrial environments. Each product undergoes rigorous testing to ensure compliance with safety standards while maintaining aesthetic appeal.
Retrofit Inserts
Retrofit inserts provide cost-effective safety upgrades for existing decking installations. The RetroGrip system seamlessly integrates with grooved timber while StadiaStrip offers heavy-duty solutions for concrete and timber surfaces. These non-invasive installations typically complete within hours without requiring full deck replacement.
Hardwood Decking
Hardwood decking combines natural durability with enhanced safety features. Sourced from sustainable forests, our hardwood options include Balau and Ipe species treated with anti-slip inserts. Ideal for high-traffic areas and marine environments, these products offer 25+ year lifespans with minimal maintenance requirements.
Safety Panels
Glass-reinforced plastic panels provide permanent anti-slip surfaces for bridges, platforms, and industrial walkways. These lightweight, corrosion-resistant panels install quickly and maintain effectiveness in extreme weather conditions. Specified by rail authorities and local councils for critical infrastructure projects.
Custom Solutions
Custom manufacturing accommodates unique project requirements including specialist timber species, bespoke dimensions, and application-specific anti-slip profiles. Our technical team collaborates with architects and contractors to develop solutions that meet exacting safety and design criteria for both new builds and restoration projects.

Report
Following great advice from Gripdeck and having received some sample materials I decided to install Retrogrip anti-slip strips to overcome issues with slippery decking outside our back door in winter. The deck was scrubbed and fully dried in preparation. I ordered 50M of Retrogrip strips which were supplied with all the fixing products included. The area immediately outside the back door has quite heavy foot fall and so was to be “glued & screwed”. This area was approx 1M square. The Retrogrip strips to be screwed were pre-drilled and countersunk (this took some time to make a hole
