The Disability Discrimination Act came into force in January 2004 recommending that all steps have contrasting nosing to aid the visually impaired. This made K-Grip is more important than ever.

K-Grip will not only comply with anti-slip requirements, but with a range of 12 standard and metallic colours, including luminous (Custom colours made to order), can enable you to achieve a dual purpose with one simple application.

K-Grip is extremely hard wearing, UV stable and is easy and cost effective to apply, to both new and existing surfaces. It can also be used for directional arrows, company logos and signage etc.

K-Grip can be applied to almost any sound surface (Stone, concrete, tiles, metal, wood, glass, GRP, etc) externally or internally, and its rapid curing ensures that downtime can be kept to a minimum.

Also within the K-Grip range we have products such as K-Stud and K-Trim. K-Studs are metal studs that can have any coloured K-Grip applied within them. The K-Stud can be applied to paving and tops of walls etc to form a tactile surface. These studs are not only tactile but also anti-slip. They can be applied easily and quickly without having to lift paving etc. K-Trim is a black neoprene rubber strip that has K-Grip applied to the top surface (Any colour can be applied to the neoprene), b has been designed for large areas were tactile strips are required, for example tops of staircases and steps internally and externally.
