TRACTION TREAD™ Planks feature a surface of hundreds of raised perforated buttons with debossed holes that provide slip-resistance in all directions. Typical applications include walkways, scaffolds, mezzanines, stair treads, and for resurfacing of worn materials—planks are useful anywhere a light slip-resistant flooring is required.
Planks are also ideal for pedestrian traffic, ADA compliant, have a long service life and are easy to install.
Besides formed planks, this product is also offered in floor plate sheets, 3 x 10 foot (found in the Matting and Flooring product line section) and as ladder rungs (found in the Ladder Rung product line section).
