Anti-Slip Sheets from R11 to R13 for Safe Walkways

Play it safe with our slip-resistant anti-slip sheets/floor panels for walkways in R11, R12 and R13, specially developed to minimise the risk of falls and accidents on horizontal surfaces. From corridors and access routes to escape routes – our floor panels provide protection and safety in a wide range of environments.

According to the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA), slips, trips and falls are among the main causes of workplace accidents and injuries in Europe. It estimates that 25% of all workplace accidents in Europe are due to slips, trips and falls and that these accidents cost the European economy billions of euros every year in lost productivity and medical expenses.

Anti-slip sheets made of glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) offer the following benefits:

• Improved slip safety up to R13
• Corrosion-resistant
• High-quality glass fibre (almost as strong as steel, but considerably lighter)
• Easy installation (e.g. by screwing or bonding)

The risk of falls and accidents on walkways can quickly increase due to contamination such as water, slippery conditions, dirt, grease or oil. It is important to recognise and eliminate these risks.

Our slip-resistant floor panels are made of high-quality glass-reinforced plastic with encapsulated aluminium oxide abrasive particles that ensure optimum friction in all conditions.

In addition, our floor panels are designed to increase visual safety, and important information can be integrated into the product. Warnings or instructions on walls are often overlooked, but people look where they are going, so messages can be printed effectively into the floor covering , whether as a pictogram or text.

Main benefits of anti-slip sheets

Accidents caused by slips and falls can be expensive, but we can help you make ship decks or other walkways, for example, as visible and non-slip as possible.

• Quick solution – our anti-slip sheets are ready to use and can easily be retrofitted to existing surfaces or gratings.
• Reduced risk of accidents – by installing our slip-resistant floor panels, companies can significantly minimise the risk of falls and accidents.
• Improved visual safety – our yellow floor panels instantly increase visual safety. Pictograms or text can also be embedded in the floor panel.
• Cost-effective solution – the GRP floor panels can be installed in all weather conditions – all year round on e.g. ship decks, offshore, chemical plants or in areas that benefit from slip-resistant flooring.
• Compliance with safety regulations – the GRP floor panels can help companies comply with regulations and avoid costly fines or legal action.

These anti-slip sheets offer a versatile solution for safety needs in a wide range of environments and industries. They are durable, easy to install and provide lasting protection against slips and falls.

Slip-resistant GRP floor panels are particularly important in the workplace, as they help prevent slips, trips and falls, which are a major cause of workplace accidents.

Frequently asked questions about anti-slip sheets

How are GRP anti-slip sheets fixed?

Depending on the substrate, they are screwed, fixed with plugs or bonded. On gratings, suitable fixing clips or screws are used.

Can GRP sheets be cut to size?

Yes, GRP can be cut with suitable tools. Cut edges should then be sealed. On request, we can supply suitable cut-to-size pieces.

Where are anti-slip sheets typically used?

On walkways, platforms, ramps, bridges, manhole covers and outdoor paths. Frequently in sewage treatment plants, industry, rail and shipbuilding.

Are there sheets for ATEX or food areas?

For such requirements, versions with corresponding test certificates are available on request. Please tell us the specific conditions of use.
