GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic (Fiberglass)), Anti-Slip flooring has been used in industrial environments for some considerable time; around machinery or for fork lift truck routes. More and more it is now seen in public places; from railway platforms to swimming pools, from leisure parks to airports. Domestically GRP gritted flooring is widely used to cover worn and slippery decking boards, in fact it’s used anywhere there is a potential slip hazard.
There are various types and grades of grit used in the production of anti slip flooring, from Ultra-Fine, often used in swimming pool environments, to Coarse used mainly around oily machinery.
