It’s a known fact that timber decking can be lethal when wet. Yet more and more businesses want to use decking as an outdoor surface because it looks appealing and is good value. DeckWright Anti-Slip is the solution, significantly reducing the risk of slipping whilst retaining the natural charm of a timber deck.
Made in the UK by WJ Group, DeckWright Anti-Slip is chosen by all manner of businesses and organisations including schools, nurseries and children’s play areas. Whether starting with brand new decking or resolving a problem that exists with previously laid decking, DeckWright has a format for all eventualities, adding a reassuring grip by applying a specially formulated resin and aggregate mixture into the specified grooves. DeckWright can even be applied to composite decking which is often slippery when damp or dirty.
Very low minimum orders and good value pricing make DeckWright a cost effective and easy to use solution, reducing the risk of injury for many organisations. Fully tested and approved, DeckWright can be relied upon in the heaviest of traffic areas and will perform at its best for the life of the decking.
A recent case study of Old MacDonalds Nursery in East Yorkshire showcases the benefits of DeckWright in locations where children are present:
Located in Lund, East Yorkshire, Old MacDonalds Nursery offers day care for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years old. Situated on a farm, there is plenty of outdoor playtime throughout the year in all weathers. The nursery enjoys a nature and adventure play area amongst some trees and the staff were concerned about how slippery the moist, leafy surface could become.
Nursery manager and owner, Liz Walker decided to create a new timber decking area around the base of one of the trees and she chose DeckWright Anti-Slip decking. Here’s what she had to say:
“The children feel very happy and secure to run and play all over the new non-slip decking, even in wet weather. I weighed up the pros and cons of using an anti-slip decking product; aware of the possibility of the odd graze. But this has never been a problem.
DeckWright Anti-Slip was very easy to install and our joiner could quickly cut it to size whilst fitting it, using normal tools. The installation was complete in one day.
Not only are the children delighted, parents have commented very positively on the new anti-slip decking area amongst the trees. I feel that DeckWright would be an ideal outdoor surface for schools, nurseries, hospitals and old peoples’ homes as it is a safe alternative to normal decking, which does get slippery in wet weather. DeckWright Anti-Slip decking is just as easy to clean as standard timber decking, it looks great and lasts well”
