Travelodge Lakeside Hardwood Decking Case Study
GripDeck® hardwood anti-slip decking supplied for a commercial lakeside decking project requiring durability, slip resistance and a premium timber finish.
Hardwood Anti-Slip Decking for Travelodge Lakeside
GripDeck® hardwood anti-slip decking was supplied for a Travelodge lakeside project where a premium timber surface was required for external pedestrian areas.
The project required decking that would provide long-term durability, improved slip resistance and a high-quality natural timber appearance suitable for a commercial hospitality environment.
The Challenge
External decking in hospitality and waterside environments is exposed to changing weather, moisture, regular pedestrian traffic and daily use by guests, staff and visitors.
The decking needed to provide a robust and attractive finish while helping reduce slip risk in wet and exposed conditions. A durable hardwood solution was selected to provide a premium appearance and strong long-term performance.
The Solution
GripDeck® supplied hardwood anti-slip decking with factory-applied anti-slip inserts. Hardwood GripDeck® is manufactured to project requirements and can be produced in a range of timber species, board sizes and insert layouts.
The factory-applied inserts provide reliable grip underfoot while allowing the hardwood decking to retain its natural appearance. For commercial environments such as hotels, restaurants, leisure sites and waterside developments, hardwood GripDeck® offers a strong balance of appearance, durability and safety.
