Tread plates with cut-outs, round foot pedals, curved ladder rungs and perforated machine guards all need grip where standard sizes don’t fit. That is what custom anti-slip products are for: cut-to-size pieces, discs, die-cut parts and precision-shaped components made to your drawing, template or sample that fit first time on site, with no trimming required.

What we can make to order

Discs and circular cuts for pedals, step surfaces, controls and manhole or access covers
Rectangular pieces and anti-slip strips in any length and width, cut and bundled on request
Precision die-cut parts made from a drawing, template or sample – including cut-outs and fixing holes
Stair tread pieces with a specified depth, rounded corners and a defined edge margin
Ladder rung covers and pipe wraps developed to suit curved surfaces
Symbols and pictograms supplied as ready-made shapes instead of time-consuming stencil work
Special colours for corporate branding, zone identification or contrast requirements
Custom printing with safety warnings, numbering, company logos or area labels

Why made-to-measure anti-slip pays off

Shorter installation time: parts are simply stuck down rather than cut on site – on large quantities, the single biggest cost factor.
Consistent quality: machine-cut contours are accurate and repeatable; hand-cut edges fray and lift sooner.
Less waste: nesting is optimised in advance instead of material being wasted on site.
Clean edges: rounded corners lift far less often than sharp ones – an underrated factor in service life.
Repeatable: once a contour is on file, it can be reordered at any time, even years later.
Uniform appearance: identical parts across every site and installation.

Typical applications

Mechanical engineering: step surfaces, maintenance hatches, platforms and operator stations
Vehicle and trailer building: running boards, entry steps, load beds, pedals
Plant engineering: ladder rungs, walkways, barriers and inspection openings
Public buildings: anti-slip stair tread pieces with a consistent look throughout
Shipbuilding and offshore: deck areas, companionways and access ladders
Agriculture and commercial vehicles: access steps, mudguard steps, trailer drawbars
Sports and leisure facilities: starting blocks, jetties, diving boards and pool edges

What we need from you to quote

Geometry: a drawing, a dimensioned sketch, a paper template or a sample part
Quantity and whether repeat orders are likely
Substrate: steel, aluminium, galvanised sheet, concrete, plastic, timber, grating
Operating conditions: indoors or outdoors, temperature range, water, oil, chemicals, cleaning methods
Required slip resistance to DIN 51130 or DIN 51097 (the German ramp test standards)
Visual requirements: colour, contrast, photoluminescent, reflective, printed
Fixing method: self-adhesive or mechanical, permanent or removable with minimal residue

A sample part or a paper template is often quicker and more reliable than a drawing – especially on older installations whose dimensions have drifted from the original design.

From sample to series production

Enquiry with geometry and operating conditions – a sketch, drawing or sample part is all it takes.
Material proposal – surface, slip resistance class, adhesive system and finish are agreed.
Sample part – fit and adhesion are checked on the actual component.
Sign-off – the contour and specification are documented and archived.
Series production – delivered ready to fit, sorted and labelled by assembly on request.
Repeat orders – later batches are produced from the stored data, with no need to go through approval again.

Tips for long-lasting adhesion

Specify rounded corners – square corners are where anti-slip tape and surfaces most often start to lift.
Allow an edge margin to the component edge so water can drain away and cannot creep under the edge.
Degrease the substrate thoroughly before fitting; this is especially important on new, oily metal parts.
Observe the application temperature and let parts acclimatise before fitting.
On heavily textured substrates such as chequer plate, check whether a coating would be the better solution.

Summary

Custom anti-slip products are the more economical choice wherever standard products would otherwise need reworking: on round, perforated or curved components, for larger quantities and wherever a uniform appearance matters. Precision-cut parts last longer, are quicker to fit and can be reordered identically at any time.

FAQs: custom anti-slip products

From what quantity is a custom anti-slip part worthwhile?

It depends on the shape, material and effort involved, so there is no single threshold. Even for recurring components, a precision cut saves installation time. We’re happy to assess this from your drawing.

What information do you need to prepare a quote?

We need a drawing or dimensioned sketch, the quantity, the substrate and the operating conditions. Photos help us assess the job.

Are custom parts available with special properties?

Yes, special colours, printing or photoluminescent versions are possible. Properties such as R13 or chemical resistance are available on request for versions with test certification.
