Anti-Slip Access Panels for Crossings, Platforms & Specialist Walkways
Bespoke non-slip timber access panels manufactured to order for track crossings, platforms, walkways, bridges, machine surrounds, lock gates, service areas and specialist access routes.
Bespoke Anti-Slip Panels for Specialist Access Applications
GripDeck® anti-slip panels are bespoke, made-to-order safety panels designed for demanding commercial, industrial, infrastructure and public access environments. They are commonly specified where a larger structural panel is required, where standard decking boards are not suitable, or where a heavy-duty non-slip panel surface is needed for a specialist access route.
Each panel is manufactured using structural birch-throughout plywood, fully encapsulated in epoxy resin and finished with a bonded aggregate anti-slip surface. This creates a robust, slip-resistant panel designed for heavy pedestrian use and challenging site conditions. Typical applications include railway infrastructure, station platforms, track crossings, bridges, lock gates, ramps, service walkways, machine surrounds, industrial access areas and public access routes.
Are GripDeck® Panels Right for Your Project?
Anti-slip panels are best suited to specialist access areas where a full panel section is needed rather than individual decking boards, surface-mounted GRP covers or retrofit decking inserts.
| Usually Suitable | Consider Another Product If |
|---|---|
| Track crossings, platforms, service walkways and machine surrounds | You need standard timber decking boards for a deck or boardwalk |
| Project-specific access panels requiring bespoke sizes or shapes | You need a simple retrofit strip for existing grooved decking |
| Heavy-duty public access, industrial or infrastructure environments | You need surface-mounted GRP stair treads or flooring covers |
| Wet, exposed or demanding locations where a durable anti-slip surface is needed | The existing structure is unsuitable or requires structural assessment first |

Manufactured using structural birch-throughout plywood to provide a strong, stable base for demanding applications.
Fully Resin Encased
The plywood core is encased in epoxy resin to create a robust, protected panel suitable for heavy-duty use.
Aggregate Anti-Slip Surface
A durable aggregate is set into the top resin surface to provide a hard-wearing anti-slip finish across the full panel area.
Heavy-Duty Access Panels
Designed for demanding access routes, platforms, track crossings, machine surrounds, bridges and infrastructure projects.
