Safeguarding you and your course with GripClad

Slips and trips – safeguarding you and your course.

Wrapping chicken wire around a sleeper to prevent someone from slipping on hazardous elevated stepped access, or tripping or falling from steep sided tees, just doesn’t solve the problem, it contributes to it, as do many other cheaper methods on wet hazardous railway sleepers and new laid steps.

We say: Just don’t cut corners.

“It is unwise to pay too much, but it is worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, you lose a little money … that is all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the things it was bought to do.

“The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot … it cannot be done, if you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run.

“And if you do that, you will have enough to pay for the something better.” John Ruskin (1819-1900).

For many years now GripClad is synonymous with pedestrian safety in golf courses. Over 850 golf clubs in the UK and Europe have been supplied a well proven long-term solution and there is a good chance your neighbouring golf club uses it.

There are clubs that have no choice but to cut corners by realising that there are potential slip hazards but use inferior materials that don’t actually work, so this is a false economy. You get what you pay for, as they say.

Buying the right product now means making immediate savings now. GripClad has golf clubs that have had these anti-slip sheets down in excess of 15 years and they still look like they were put down yesterday. Showing no signs of wear or tear, and totally weatherproof, frost proof and spike proof.

The risk of slip accidents is serious enough, the cost in prevention is very low compared to any potential claim that can run into thousands of pounds if it goes to court.

GripClad provides an extremely tough 4.0mm thick rigid tread designed for the long term.

This product solves slippery problems better than any other method being used. If you have wet sleepers, slippery footbridges or damp ramps then this is the product for you. This product is easy to fit with a few screws and has no weak spots, no chipping, no peel back, no layering, just the toughest, most durable, and longer lasting anti-slip product available.
