At Facility Flooring, we understand that in high-risk environments, safety starts underfoot. That’s why we supply and install GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) Stair Nosings and Decking Strips, a trusted solution for clients needing reliable slip resistance, lasting durability, and a professional finish in demanding conditions.
Designed to perform in outdoor, industrial, and high-traffic areas, our GRP system offers exceptional grip, even when surfaces are wet or oily. With their robust construction and corrosion-resistant properties, they provide a long-term, low-maintenance upgrade for steps, ramps, and walkways across commercial, public, and industrial facilities. Whether it’s a new installation or retrofit, GRP is the smart choice for preventing slips, and extending the life of your flooring surfaces as well as your customers!
Why Choose GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) for Stair Safety?
Exceptional Slip Resistance
The standout benefit of GRP is its ability to maintain grip under all conditions. Each stair nosing or decking strip is coated with a highly abrasive, anti-slip surface, available in coarse or fine grit options depending on the environment and level of traffic.From wet outdoor steps to greasy industrial floors, GRP delivers consistent performance and reliable traction.
Resistant to Corrosion and Rot
Unlike timber, steel, or rubber-based alternatives, GRP won’t warp, rust, or rot. It’s chemically resistant and perfectly suited to moisture-rich or corrosive environments, including food production and processing plants, wastewater treatment facilities, and coastal or marine locations.
Lightweight Yet Heavy-Duty
Despite being up to 80% lighter than steel, GRP still delivers exceptional load-bearing strength. It easily withstands heavy foot traffic and industrial boots, trolley and forklift activity in service areas, and temperature extremes. This combination of lightness and durability means faster installation, easier handling, and reduced labour time, all without compromising safety or strength.
