wins top Deb Award Jangro Member, Cutler Cleaning Supplies from Macclesfield, has won the Gold Award in the fiercely contested competition ‘Deb Elite of the Year’.
Gripping stuff COBA has launched a brand new range of UV stabilised GRP floor safety products for use on pedestrian walkways, factory gangways, ramps and stairs. The COBAGRiP collection comprises GRP Sheets, Stair Treads and Stair Nosing designed to offer exceptional levels of slip resistance in a variety of outdoor and indoor areas.
It is the Silicone Carbide ‘gritted’ top surface that gives COBAGRiP products its effective slip resistance – conforming to DIN 51130:2010 and BS7976-2:2010 for slip resistance - while its robust construction ensures superior wear and tear. Easy to install, COBAGRiP is the ideal solution for floor refurbishment.
Judging is based on sales performance, business growth and development, teamwork and co- operation with Deb.
Paul Whitehead, Director of Jangro Member Cutler Cleaning Supplies said: “We were thrilled to win the top Award this year. We have won others over the years and ‘Deb Distributor of the Month’ in November. The Gold Award makes all the extra effort worthwhile.”
Products are either bonded or screwed to the existing floor surface.
COBAGRiP Sheet is available in two sizes (1.2m x 1.2m and 1.2m x 2.4m) in both Standard and Light duty; the latter being a thinner, more flexible product suitable for undulating surfaces. The thicker Standard version is a heavy duty product that can withstand the weight of forklift truck traffic.
COBAGRiP Stair Nosing comes in bright yellow for clear visibility to meet DDA requirements in a variety of lengths, while COBAGRiP Stair Treads – the option that fully cover the stairs – are black with bright yellow safety awareness edges. Both are available in a variety of lengths.
