Ocean Village Gibraltar Marina Decking Project
GripDeck® supplied premium softwood anti-slip decking for Ocean Village Gibraltar, helping create attractive and safer waterfront walkways within one of Gibraltar's most prestigious marina developments.
Project Overview
Ocean Village Gibraltar is one of the Mediterranean's most prestigious marina and leisure developments. Combining luxury apartments, restaurants, bars, retail facilities and marina berths, the development required a decking solution capable of delivering both appearance and long-term performance in a demanding marine environment.
GripDeck® supplied premium softwood anti-slip decking to create attractive pedestrian walkways around the marina, helping provide improved grip while complementing the high-quality surroundings. Ocean Village required a solution that would withstand heavy foot traffic, regular exposure to moisture and the challenges associated with a waterfront environment. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
Creating Safer Marina Walkways
Marina environments present unique challenges for decking surfaces. Rain, sea spray, humidity and general pedestrian traffic can all contribute to slippery conditions. Any decking installed in these locations must provide reliable underfoot grip while maintaining an attractive appearance suitable for premium developments.
GripDeck® anti-slip decking combines the natural appearance of timber with factory-applied anti-slip inserts, making it particularly suitable for marina walkways, waterside developments, hotels and leisure destinations. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
