Adding Anti-Slip Decking Strips will immediately resolve common slipping issues across decking.
The 6 steps make decking less slippery, including:
-
Clean the deck regularly to remove dirt, leaves, and other debris that can accumulate on the surface and make it slippery.
-
Use a broom or brush to create a textured surface on the decking. This can help to increase traction and reduce the risk of slips and falls.
-
As a long term solution, apply Anti-Slip GRP Decking Strips to the decking area. This can provide a rough, abrasive surface that helps to increase traction and reduce the risk of slips and falls.
-
Use Anti-slip tape as a short term solution whilst the Anti-Slip Decking Strip is made. These can be placed on the surface of the decking to create a rough, textured surface that provides additional traction.
-
Consider using a different type of decking material that is naturally less slippery, such as composite decking or decking made from exotic hardwoods. These materials can provide better traction and reduce the risk of slips and falls.
