DPA – ArtDeck® EPDM-Filled Decorative Grating

ArtDeck® combines pressure-locked steel grating with coloured EPDM rubber granulate to deliver colour, comfort and non-slip performance. The EPDM-filled panels provide excellent slip resistance, noise absorption, vibration damping and visual comfort, creating safe, durable, sound-absorbing surfaces where safety, comfort and acoustic control are essential.

ArtDeck® transforms standard pressure-locked grating by filling the mesh with EPDM rubber granulate, available in a wide selection of colours or blended tones.

EPDM provides:

• Superior slip resistance
• Noise and vibration absorption
• Reduced height perception for users sensitive to open gratings
• Water permeability and drainage
• Colour-driven architectural expression

Architects can specify partial or fully filled panels, enabling creative patterns across walkways, stair flights, bridges and public spaces.

• High Slip Resistance
  EPDM granules deliver excellent wet and dry traction.
• Safer for Height-Sensitive Users
  Closed appearance reduces visual exposure to heights.
• Colour Customisation
  Available in black, anthracite, grey and full colour blends.
• Noise & Vibration Damping
  Ideal for residential precincts, schools, hospitality and community structures.
• Water Permeability
  Granulate maintains drainage and reduces slipperiness.
• Fully Modular
  Suitable for steps, landings, bridge decks and galleries.
