Magma Safety Panels

Anti-slip panels

Pre-coated heavy duty skid resistant panels manufactured from solid birch plywood. Magma Safety Panels are fully encapsulated in epoxy resin and have a near diamond hard aggregate bonded into the wearing surface giving excellent skid resistance properties.

They are extremely durable and suitable for use on external sites for applications such as Footbridges, Walkways, Disabled Access Ramps, Railway Platforms, Cycleways, Pontoons, Jetties and Signal Gantries.
