Product Advice & Specification Support
GripDeck® can help you choose the right anti-slip decking, retrofit product, panel system or access safety solution for your project.
Anti-Slip Product Advice & Specification Support
Choosing the right anti-slip product depends on the project, surface type, expected foot traffic, environment, budget, board condition and long-term performance requirements.
GripDeck® is happy to advise on suitable products, specifications, insert layouts, samples, technical information and quotation requirements. In most cases, this can be done using photos, drawings, measurements and project details without needing a site visit.
How GripDeck® Can Help
Product Selection
We can advise whether softwood, hardwood, ThermoDeck®, RetroGrip®, GRP, panels, composite decking or safety matting may be most suitable.
Specification Advice
We can provide guidance on board size, profile, insert layout, slip resistance, treatment, certification and project suitability.
Existing Decking Advice
For refurbishment projects, we can advise whether existing decking may be suitable for RetroGrip® or whether replacement decking may be more cost-effective.
Panel Project Support
For bespoke anti-slip panel projects, we can advise on panel construction, sizing, fixing considerations and whether a site visit may be required.
Technical Documents
GripDeck® can provide test results, specification sheets, warranty information and product guidance to support your project.
Quotation Support
We can help confirm quantities, lengths, product options, delivery requirements and information needed for an accurate quotation.
What Information Should You Send Us?

| Delivery postcode | Needed for accurate delivery costs and lead time estimates. |
When Might a Site Survey Be Needed?
Most product advice and quotations can be completed remotely. However, some complex bespoke anti-slip panel projects may require a site visit by trained engineers to confirm accurate measurements, layouts or installation requirements.
Complex Panel Projects
Site visits may be considered where bespoke anti-slip panels need accurate measurements, templates or detailed site assessment.
Infrastructure Applications
Some track crossings, platforms, lock gates, service walkways or specialist access areas may require more detailed assessment.
Engineer Measurements
Where required, trained engineers may visit site to help ensure bespoke panel dimensions and project details are accurate.

Does GripDeck® visit sites to carry out surveys?
Not usually. Most enquiries can be advised on remotely using photos, measurements, drawings and project details. Site visits are generally only considered for more complex bespoke panel projects where accurate engineer measurements may be required.
Can GripDeck® help me choose the right product?
Yes. GripDeck® can advise on product choice, board type, insert layout, slip resistance, retrofit options, samples and specification support.
What should I send for product advice?
Photos, drawings, measurements, surface type, expected use, site location and delivery postcode are all helpful.
Can existing decking be upgraded?
Sometimes. Suitable existing grooved timber decking may be upgraded with RetroGrip® inserts, but for larger or heavily worn areas replacement decking may be more cost-effective.
Can GripDeck® support architects and specifiers?
Yes. GripDeck® can provide product information, test results, warranty details, sample options and general specification guidance.
