Create wonderful and safe outdoor spaces with Gripsure anti-slip decking. 2020 has seen a resurgence in demand for timber decking due to its natural beauty, sustainability credentials and performance, as well as the current requirement to keep distance between other people at home, work and social environments.
With the added safety of Gripsure non-slip inserts our products are an ideal choice for projects, large and small, for outdoor spaces to be used and enjoyed all year round with peace of mind of the performance and track record of what our products offer in terms of eliminating slips and falls.
2020 has seen a surge in demand for outdoor landscaping products. The combination of an extended period of good weather during early summer and the effects of the national lockdown has seen people making the most of their outdoor spaces and investing in their gardens. This is a trend which is forecast to continue into 2021.
At Gripsure, we’ve seen a similar story for businesses, having supplied our boards for hospitals, universities, commercial offices, pubs and other eateries wanting to make the most of their outdoor spaces.
These investments are allowing homeowners and businesses alike to overcome the current challenges that Covid 19 has presented, and create new areas which add value, increase enjoyment and provide additional capacity with flexible options for the future.
We are seeing specifiers and landscapers choosing a range of our products that we offer depending on the project requirements and budgets. Pressure treated redwood remains a popular economic choice, with Gripsure offering both grooved and smooth profile versions.
Our softwood range offers a stylish finish without compromising safety, making it an ideal solution for a variety of applications, including residential decks, visitor attractions and pubs and other eateries, to name but a few. Not only are these deck boards low maintenance, they provide a solid surface for outdoor furniture, wheelchairs and pushchairs, and come with our 10-year non-slip performance warranty.
This year we have also experienced a high increase in sales for non-slip bamboo as a result of its environmentally friendly credentials. An attractive alternative to hardwoods, bamboo is a sustainable, carbon neutral, profile made from the fast-growing plant. Engineered from compressed, thermally treated bamboo strips, this product achieves unbeatable durability and longevity, with a 50-year service life.
For landscapers wanting to add the wow factor, Gripsure offer a bespoke inserting service where designs and text can be added to the surface of the boards. We provided boards to Bristol Zoo in 2019 imitating root sections from a tree. This service can be used for logos, silhouettes or text so designers can get really creative and add something extra that their client might not have thought was possible.
