Ensuring Safety and Performance with PERMABOUND GRIPDUST
Slip resistance is a crucial consideration for any outdoor surface, particularly in the UK, where frequent rain and seasonal ice increase the risk of slips and falls. PERMABOUND GRIPDUST is our innovative solution, a finely crushed glass product designed to enhance the safety of resin bound stone surfaces.
What is PERMABOUND GRIPDUST?
GRIPDUST is a high-quality, finely crushed glass material specifically formulated to provide superior anti-slip properties when applied to resin bound gravel surfaces. Designed to be both effective and discreet, GRIPDUST is broadcast over the resin surface during installation to create a textured, high-friction finish without compromising the visual appeal of the aggregate.
Additionally, as part of PERMABOUND’s commitment to sustainability, GRIPDUST is made from recycled glass, offering an eco-friendly way to enhance surface safety without increasing environmental impact.

Choosing crushed glass offers several benefits: it provides geotechnical performance comparable to natural sand, with superior permeability, abrasion resistance, and friction stability under saturated conditions. GRIPDUST supports a circular economy by recycling glass waste, reducing landfill use, and preserving natural sand resources.

Why Anti-Slip Surfaces Matter
Ensuring outdoor surfaces are slip-resistant is essential for both residential and commercial applications. Areas prone to heavy foot traffic, wet conditions, or vehicle movement require enhanced grip to prevent accidents. In public spaces, compliance with UK safety regulations further highlights the importance of incorporating anti-slip measures.
GRIPDUST provides a simple yet effective way to improve traction, making resin bound stone surfaces safer for pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles alike. Whether used on driveways, pathways, patios, or pool surrounds, its integration enhances peace of mind for homeowners and businesses.
How to Apply GRIPDUST for Maximum Effectiveness
GRIPDUST is easy to apply as part of the resin bound installation process:
- Surface Preparation – Ensure the resin bound aggregate is correctly mixed and trowelled to the desired level.
- Application Timing – While the resin is still wet, evenly broadcast GRIPDUST over the surface.
- Coverage Considerations – Adjust the spread rate based on the level of anti-slip performance required.
- Final Curing – Allow the resin bound surface to fully cure, ensuring GRIPDUST is securely embedded.
By following these best practices, installers can achieve a balance of slip resistance and visual appeal, making it ideal for both domestic and commercial projects.
