Roof safety March 1st 2007 Centrica has solved a major roof safety problem using Crossgrip slip resistant matting from Plastic Extruders. On the flat roofs of two adjacent office blocks, the original black membrane walkways were failing. They not only became soggy when wet but froze in cold weather and became slippery. As the membrane was adhered to the floor covering, a simple solution was to loose lay Crossgrip matting on top. The matting is said to provide slip resistance in all weathers. Made with flexible 100% PVC, it is used on flat roofs, gantries and high level walkways for maintenance access and to protect the roof covering. The deeply-etched, open grid surface is self-draining, resistant to UV or bacterial growth and maintenance-free. It is easy to lay and stable even in hurricane force wind.
