Anti-slip Aluminium Checker Plate Strips VidaXL 90 x 20 cm, set of 2

These anti-slip aluminium checker plate strips from VidaXL are supplied as a set of two strips, each measuring 90 x 20 cm. Manufactured from durable aluminium with a raised checker pattern, the strips are designed to increase surface traction and protect stair nosings, ramps and walkways from wear. Their corrosion-resistant properties make them suitable for both indoor and outdoor installation where a non-slip surface is required.

Advantages

The aluminium construction offers a combination of light weight and mechanical strength while the checker pattern provides improved grip underfoot. The strips are low-maintenance and resist corrosion, making them appropriate for humid or sheltered outdoor environments. Supplied as a matched set of two, they support consistent appearance and performance across multiple steps or paired locations.

Suitable for

• Stair nosings in domestic and commercial buildings
• Ramps and inclines where extra traction is needed
• Walkways and platforms to reduce slip risk
• Areas requiring surface protection from foot traffic

When it may not be suitable

These strips are designed for general slip resistance but are not intended as a substitute for specialized anti-slip systems required by some regulatory environments or industrial applications with extreme chemical exposure. Very uneven or heavily curved edges may require custom-shaped solutions rather than straight aluminium strips.

Key specifications

• Material: aluminium with raised checker pattern
• Quantity: set of 2 strips
• Individual strip dimensions: 90 cm (length) x 20 cm (width)
• Suitable for indoor and outdoor use (corrosion-resistant)
• Finish: textured checker surface for traction

How to use

Measure and mark the placement area before installation to ensure even alignment. Clean and dry the surface thoroughly to remove dust, grease and loose particles. The strips can be fixed using appropriate mechanical fasteners (screws or rivets) or high-strength adhesives suitable for aluminium and the substrate material; select fixing methods compatible with the installation surface and local building requirements. After securing the strips, verify that edges are flush and there are no raised corners that could create a trip hazard.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the 90 x 20 cm dimensions fit the intended stair nosing or walkway width
• Check substrate material to choose correct fasteners or adhesive
• Assess whether local regulations require specific anti-slip ratings or certified materials
• Consider whether a protective edge trim or end caps are needed for exposed edges

Usage recommendations

For best results, combine mechanical fastening with an appropriate adhesive for permanent installations. Regularly inspect the strips for wear and secure fixings, and clean with mild detergent to maintain traction. In high-traffic or safety-critical locations, consult local standards to ensure the chosen product meets required slip-resistance criteria.
