Graepels ColourGrip anti-slip coating
Anti-slip Surface Finish
What is Graepel-ColourGrip®?
Graepels anti-slip metal grating with ColourGrip® isn’t just a coating — it’s an innovation. Crafted by our sister company, the Graepel Group, ColourGrip® brings together bold colour and reliable grip in one powerful finish, specially designed for our SafeDeck anti-slip flooring range.
Unlike standard finishes, ColourGrip® is engineered to match — or even surpass — the slip resistance of traditional hot-dip galvanised surfaces. It not only enhances safety underfoot but also adds a vibrant, durable aesthetic that transforms flooring from purely functional to strikingly practical.
In short: it’s colour with a purpose, grip with style, and safety without compromise.
What are the Benefits?
With Graepel-ColourGrip®, your colour choices are limitless. This versatile finish doesn’t just add a pop of colour — it enhances safety too.
✅ Use colour coding to highlight escape routes, emergency exits, or evacuation paths.
✅ Tailor your metal grating to match your company’s branding and colours.
✅ Alternatively use it to tie in with the area surroundings for a more cohesive design.
Graepels-ColourGrip® allows colour and finish, without compromising the anti-slip performance.
How Does it Work?
ColourGrip® uses a specialised three-layer coating system, carefully applied in successive layers to achieve a durable, high-performance finish. Each layer plays a key role resulting in a vibrant colour, enhanced slip resistance and a quality finish.

Graepels ColourGrip combines; Value, Design, and Individuality.
What Makes ColourGrip® Different?
Unlike standard galvanised finishes, Graepels ColourGrip® is formulated to deliver equal or superior grip performance. The textured surface increases friction underfoot, helping to prevent slips and falls in high-traffic or hazardous areas.
At the same time, ColourGrip® introduces customisable colour options, allowing you to match flooring with your brand, safety zones, or architectural style — all without sacrificing durability or performance.
