Improve safety with our GRP range
At Blue Diamond, we’re here to support you in choosing the right protective flooring for your application, improving the safety of your visitors and employees, regardless of the weather or environment.
Our comprehensive range of safety solutions for slip-resistant surfaces include anti-slip GRP stair treads, anti-slip GRP nosing covers, anti-slip GRP decking strips, and GRP flat sheets, all designed to enhance safety and reduce the risk of accidents.
Anti-Slip GRP Stair Treads and Anti-Slip GRP Nosings
GRP anti-slip stair treads and nosings are game-changers when it comes to safety. Their unique designs combine durability with anti-slip properties, providing a crucial shield against accidents on staircases. In the world of safety flooring, they stand out as an all-weather, all-environment solution, ensuring underfoot confidence even in the most challenging conditions. By offering impeccable traction, reducing the risk of slips and falls, and requiring minimal maintenance, both not only prioritise safety but also contribute to the longevity and aesthetics of your staircase, making them a wise and cost-effective choice for any project.
Both our stair treads and stair nosing can be cut to bespoke sizes for the perfect fit and they both come in an array of colours.
Choosing the right solution: Stair Treads vs. Stair Nosing
Stair treads and stair nosing do serve different purposes and should be used based on your specific requirements and conditions.
- Stair Treads: Stair treads extend over the entire step, providing a larger area for foot placement, which enhances both coverage and safety. They are primarily designed to improve traction and reduce the risk of slips and falls by offering a consistent, anti-slip surface across the entire step.
Stair treads are also designed to withstand heavy foot traffic, making them suitable for high-traffic areas such as industrial settings, outdoor stairs, and public buildings. The various color options available can complement the overall aesthetics of the staircase while maintaining safety. - Stair Nosing: Stair nosings are a cost effective solution that attach to the edges of the steps. Their primary function is to provide an anti-slip surface on the part of the steps where we place our feet the most, enhancing safety by reducing the risk of slips, trips and falls.
Additionally, stair nosings are an ideal choice for areas where aesthetics play an important role, as they can be customised to blend seamlessly while maximising safety.
In some cases, both stair treads and stair nosing may be used together to provide comprehensive safety and protection for an entire staircase.
All of our nosing comply with the Equality Act/DDA Regulations and Building Regulations Part M to ensure accessibility and safety for everyone.
Anti-Slip GRP Decking Strips
Anti-slip GRP decking strips provide an immediate, cost-effective way to increase safety in any environment and can be applied directly to wood, metal, concrete and much more.
The benefits of GRP anti-slip decking strips don't end with safety alone. They also offer robust durability, capable of withstanding heavy foot traffic and exposure to the elements. Decking strips excel in challenging outdoor environments, where traditional decking materials may quickly deteriorate. Additionally, their low maintenance requirements and resistance to corrosion make them a cost-effective choice.
Our design allows for quick and easy installation, plus all our anti-slip decking strips are:
- Manufactured from highest quality fiberglass to withstand the harshest of weather and highest footfall.
- Impregnated with heavy duty grit surface that protects against delamination, a common problem with metal alternatives.
- Slim profile with chamfered edge to reduce risk of trips.
With GRP anti-slip decking strips, you not only invest in safety but also in the long-term resilience and aesthetic appeal of your outdoor spaces.
Anti-Slip GRP Flat Sheet
GRP flat sheets offer numerous advantages for a wide range of applications. Manufactured from high-quality Glass Reinforced Polyester (GRP), these versatile sheets are designed to excel in various environments, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The benefits of GRP flat sheets extend beyond their impressive strength and durability; they also encompass safety, ease of installation, cost-effectiveness, and aesthetics.
One of the primary advantages of GRP flat sheets is their exceptional strength and durability. GRP is renowned for its impressive resilience against harsh environmental conditions, including moisture, UV rays, and exposure to chemicals. GRP flat sheets remain unaffected by rust, corrosion, or degradation, ensuring their structural integrity over time. Whether used in high-traffic industrial settings, coastal areas, or chemical plants, GRP flat sheets offer long-lasting performance, reducing the need for frequent replacements and minimising maintenance costs.
Safety is another critical feature of GRP flat sheets. Their anti-slip surface enhances traction and minimises the risk of accidents, making them the ideal choice for walkways, ramps, and flooring in areas prone to wet or oily conditions. Their versatility and customisation options allow flat sheets to be tailored to specific design and safety requirements, ensuring that safety is prioritised without compromising the aesthetics of a space.
At Blue Diamond, we're always available to help you select the right protective solutions for your specific needs, ensuring you’re not only investing in safety but also in the long-term resilience and aesthetic appeal of your indoor and outdoor spaces.
Compliance
At Blue Diamond, we use The Pendulum Test, a method that accurately simulates real-world conditions to measure slip resistance. This ensures our surfaces meet the highest safety standards, providing accurate and reliable results to enhance safety and reduce slips, trips and falls.
Our full GRP range is pendulum tested, and our results consistently meet the highest level of slip resistance. We’re happy to provide copies of our certificates and further details on our comprehensive product testing programs should you require them.
