Gripped - Naenae Primary School
Trafficable areas can become hazardous accident zones during undesirable weather conditions, making it difficult for the foot traffic passing over to grip on to the surface.

Naenae Primary School faced this situation recently and contacted Resene. Murray Boolten of Naenae Primary School wrote... "Early in Term 3 a staff member slipped on our wooden deck, smashing her arm". Unfortunately she was off work for a number of weeks and is currently under going physio". With other staff also having accidents or near accidents in the area, the Board of Trustees investigated options to reduce the deck hazard and with the assistance of Resene decided upon Resene Non-Skid Deck & Path.

The slippery deck was transformed overnight into a safe walking area with Resene Non-Skid Deck & Path providing a textured grip surface in even the worst Wellington weather. Resene Non-Skid Deck & Path is a 100% acrylic coating filled with graded silicas designed for use on both concrete and bitumen to give a durable, tough, non-skid finish on all areas where foot traffic is likely.

See the Resene Non-Skid Deck & Path test report and the Resene Decks, Paths, Driveways and Recreational Areas colour chart for standard colour options.
