Collegiate School | Non-Slip Decking Case Study

Early years eco decking for school playground.

TG Escapes designed and built an early years eco-building for their client Collegiate School (formerly Colston’s). The building was tailored to the school’s needs, providing a separate learning space to house all the early years students in one building.

When designing any environment for young children, safety is a priority. That is why TG Escapes chose non-slip decking to surround the new school building. Gripsure met TG Escapes’ rigorous non-slip requirements on this project with brown-treated Gripsure Classic, featuring three anti-slip strips.

This is the first project regular Gripsure customer TG Escapes has completed in a brown-treated decking. They chose this finish to complement the Western Red Cedar cladding used on the eco-building.

It is also the first project for which TG Escapes has used three-strip non-slip decking to further reduce the risk of slips and falls.

A representative for TG Escapes explained “In early years buildings some of the children are of nursery age. Their feet may be so small that they would fit in between the space of two anti-slip infills, and be offered no coverage at all. Having three anti-slips eliminated this risk.”

With the highest non-slip rating on the market, Classic allows access all year round offering peace of mind.
