Gripsure has supplied nearly 4,000 metres of its Yellow Balau Hardwood anti slip decking for the Lee Valley White centre. Lee Valley White Water Centre offers a unique mix of white water rafting and paddle sports, including family activities. There was a requirement for a new decking solution for its Terrace Bar & Café.

As the surface is likely to become wet due to the water sports, it was important to have decking that would be non slip, even with surface water. And with the Terrace offering a packed programme including live music events, it also needed to be hardwearing.

Lee Valley Regional Park Authority’s surveyor, Robert Kearney said: “We needed decking with the greatest resistance to damp, which we could use to create safe non slip walkways. We were looking for many years of durability, so this is a long-term investment for us.”
