Since 2003, when the gripfit® systems started to be developed, we have noticed the increasing needs for property owners and managers to increase the size of matting at the entrances to sites, and in other circulation areas. From the typical 1 metre of matting to a more beneficial 3.6 metres of matting.
Commonly mat wells needed to be dug out to achieve this, but it would cause significant planning and business disruption, but also be a high cost to the building owner. By designing the gripfit systems to be surface mounted it cuts down on all 3 factors significantly therefore providing greater short term and long term benefits to the user.
More importantly with the increase of insurance claims being made on property owners from slips and trips, there needed to be a quicker cheaper alternative to reduce the risks.
