• Best used to made slippery walkways and ramps safe
• General purpose, tough GRP suitable for both industrial and commercial use

Preparation

Ensure that the areas fitted are clean, dry and free from loose and friable material. Any 'dished' or damaged surface areas should be patch repaired to provide a reasonably flat and consistent surface.

Dry fit all panels to ensure they fit freely and that they sit flat down on the surface. If required, the GRP sheet can be trimmed on site to suit, ideally using a skill saw with a 4mm diamond blade or an angle grinder with a 1mm blade.

Please ensure that goggles and gloves are worn at all times when any form of cutting is involved.

How to Install

You can install our  Standard Flat Sheets easily and quickly with a power drill.

Application

Apply an approx. 6mm bead (this may need to be increased dependant upon on the substrate conditions) of the high strength gap filling adhesive around the periphery of the underside of the panels approx. 25mm in from the edges. Then, starting from the bottom left corner come up at an angle (approx. 200mm across) and then down at an angle, to create a 'peak and a trough', repeat this until you reach the end. Immediately press the panel firmly to the substrate to ensure adequate transfer of adhesive (depending on the size of the bead, this will elevate the sheet by approximately 1-1.5mm). A firm bond will be achieved in about one hour under normal circumstances and conditions. Secure with mechanical fixings, as below.

Drill holes 15mm in from all edges at no more than 300mm apart from the centres. Depending on the width of the panels it may be necessary to provide fixing points at 600mm centres down the middle of the panels. As substrates vary considerably, additional fixings may be required to fix the panels down. If fixing down two pieces of flat sheet that is constrained by sides (i.e. a ramp with wall on either side) a 5mm expansion gap should be considered between the two or more sheets. This gap can be filled with a standard high modulus mastic.
