Anti-Slip GRP Grating — Grit-Top Safety Surfaces

Grit-top GRP grating has abrasive silica grit bonded into the top surface during manufacture. It maintains its bite when wet or oily — unlike painted anti-slip coatings that wear off. It is the standard surface for wash-down zones, marine decks, food plants and ramps.

Specify grit-top. A surface that is fine dry can become hazardous once a film of water, oil or process fluid sits on it. In permanently wet or oily service, rely on the bonded grit rather than concave or convex texture alone.

No. The grit is bonded at manufacture and the texture is moulded into the laminate, so the anti-slip performance does not wear away and needs no site-applied coating renewal — a maintenance advantage over painted systems.

Use smooth only where hygiene or cleanroom particulate control outweighs slip risk — pharmaceutical and microelectronics areas, food-grade contact — and where the surface stays clean and dry.

Yes. A common hybrid is grit-top on stair treads, ramps and wet zones, with concave or convex surface on level dry walkways. This matches the surface to the local slip risk at the lowest cost.
