Non-slip surface application
Thermapply, a non-slip surface application specifically designed to eliminate slips, trips and falls at outdoor public and commercial spaces is now available.
The patented, thermoplastic surface, which is manufactured in the UK by Thermedia, has been developed specifically for stairs and walkways in high traffic areas.
It offers a tailored, ‘full-step’ anti-slip solution which has been SATRA certificated to withstand one million footfalls. Thermapply is also backed by a 10-year manufacturer’s guarantee and conforms to BS EN1824.
When used in stadia and venues the product will allow any stadium to be fully compliant with recommendations made by the DDA, Access for All, Sport England, FSIF (Football Stadia Improvement Fund) and the Green Guide (Guide to Safety at Sports Grounds) and following these trials, it is now installed in venues around the country.
Thermapply’s composition is thermoformed in-situ, cooling to a solid, non-porous state that will retain its non-slip properties. This is because the infused aggregate runs throughout the depth of the thermoplastic material, ensuring that it remains non-slip and maintains both its looks and safety properties for at least the next decade. As well as this, the material is quick and easy to install, immediately useable and remains low maintenance throughout its lifetime.
