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}

Project Summary: GripDeck® Softwood Anti-Slip Decking was supplied for Ocean Village Gibraltar Marina, providing an attractive timber finish with enhanced slip resistance for a high-profile waterfront development.

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}

These inserts are permanently bonded into the timber surface during manufacture, creating a durable anti-slip solution suitable for challenging outdoor environments. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
