GripTread was born from seeing a tremendous need for a product that offered excellent wet and dry slip resistance, balanced with longevity and ease of use by fabricators. GripTread is created via abrading to create a non-slip surface on an otherwise smooth metal sheet or plate. The result is a safer, more sanitary, non-slip walking surface proven to withstand extensive use with no chipping, breaking off or flaking off. GripTread was designed for the demanding conditions of food, beverage and pharmaceutical production, where chemical resistant, sanitary surfaces are needed for both product and employee safety. However, GripTread is an ideal fit for any workplace, commercial spaces and applications where slip, trip and fall prevention safety is needed.
