The Benefits of GRP Stair Nosings, Decking Strips, and More for Slip Prevention
Preventing slips and falls is one of the most important safety responsibilities in any environment — whether it’s a family home, commercial building, school, industrial facility, or public walkway. Slippery surfaces can lead to severe injuries, costly accidents, and long-term safety risks. That’s why thousands of UK property owners and businesses now rely on GRP stair nosings and anti-slip decking strips to provide durable, year-round protection. Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) has become the gold standard for anti-slip solutions due to its strength, weather resistance, and exceptional grip. Unlike timber, metal, rubber, or adhesive tapes, GRP does not rot, warp, rust, corrode, or peel — making it a long-term investment in safety and compliance.
In this comprehensive guide, we explore how our premium range of GRP stair nosings and decking strips can transform unsafe surfaces, improve visibility, and greatly reduce slipping hazards in indoor and outdoor settings.
