Grooved Board

Product symbol: GB32x160

Grooved anti-slip board, PTV above 36, for jetties, ramps, arena walkways and public terraces. Nothing organic for algae to live on, so the grip lasts without scrubbing or anti-slip paint. 15-year warranty.

Product details

What this board is for

Grip, in the places where a wet surface is a real liability. One face is grooved, so water breaks up and runs off instead of sitting in a film on top. Measured slip resistance is PTV above 36 – the range that pendulum testing treats as low slip potential.
Timber gets slippery for a different reason: algae. Wood feeds it. This board has nothing organic for algae, mould or insects to live on, so the grip it has on the day of handover is the grip it has years later, without scrubbing or a coat of anti-slip paint.

Where it works

  • Jetties, pontoons and steps down to water – wet all season, walked on barefoot.
  • Ramps and loading areas – trailer ramps, stable approaches, anywhere with a slope and a hoof or a wheel on it.
  • Riding arena surrounds and walkways – sand, water and traffic in the same place.
  • Public terraces and pool decks – where a slip becomes a liability.
  • Site access routes – working platforms and crossings in mud.

The widest board of the three, so a square metre goes down in fewer passes and with fewer joints to detail.

On site

An ordinary saw and ordinary screws. No special tools and no training for your crew – anyone who has built a timber deck can build this one. Spans, expansion gaps and joist detail are in the decking manual below; the material moves with temperature, so the gaps are not optional.

What it costs you after it is installed

Nothing to oil. Nothing to sand. Nothing to paint. No board to swap out after the third winter, and no call-back from your client about a soft plank or a splinter. That is the whole case against timber: the purchase price is not the cost – fifteen years of upkeep is.

The colour settles after roughly 45-60 days of UV exposure. A recycled product may show small differences in shade and weight between batches. This does not affect how it performs.

Product photos are for illustration only – the actual product may differ slightly from the colour shown on your screen.

How much do I need

Roughly 6.4 running metres of board per square metre of deck at this width, plus about 2 running metres of 70×70 joist. Add around 10% for cuts and waste. Send us the dimensions and we will do the take-off with you.
