Non-slip deck material

[colind3782]

Rather than paint my tatty deck, I want to lay the thin non-slip deck material that you cut to shape and stick down.

What's it called and where's the best place to get it?

Treadmaster. Expensive, pain to lay properly, tough on bare flesh and difficult to remove at the end of its limited life. Stick to paint or something like KIWIgrip.

Treadmaster is the most well known trade name. Google will find you lots of info.

Well, that's ticked all the boxes! Thanks guys, time to get out the masking tape

Proboat do a non-slip which doesn't have the TReadmaster diamonds that hurt so much. Range of colours too. The base material I think is TBS, which is fitted as standard on Dehlers.

Kiwi grip - brilliant stuff.
Depending on which roller you use gives a course or fine texture.
It dries with a kind of rubbery feel and not abrasive.
We used it first on a J51 alloy ocean racer a couple of years back.
Easy to put on and having talked to the owner recently, still going strong.
I've also used it on the gunnel of a trapeze racing dinghy as it gave great grip and didn't wear your wetsuit out when sitting on it.
I'm planning to use it on my decks later this year.

Thanks.My decks need redoing and that looks miles better than the usual drab paint.Does it come in more than one colour or at least shade of grey?
