Vigil
Antislip Vinyl Deck is measured in two dimensions; length ways
(A) and width (B).
|
|
A:
|
Length
of Vinyl Deck: There are two standard lengths; 600mm and 200mm.
When laid, each sheet of Vinyl Deck can be spaced up to 150mm from
the next sheet because on a straight walk way it is only necessary
for personnel to achieve either heel or toe contact to avoid accidents.
By using 200mm sheets, there is less antislip required per square
metre, however, installation can take longer to perform.
|
|
B:
|
Width
of Vinyl Deck:
As with Metal Deck, Vinyl Deck need not cover the entire width
of the walkway or ramp. personnel tend to walk within 100mm from
the edges of walkways so it is recommended that Vinyl Deck 150mm
- 300mm narrower than the overall walkway be ordered, ie. if ordering
Vinyl Deck for an 800mm wide walkway, 600mm wide Vinyl Deck will
provide ample protection.

| 2.
Grade: |
Four
standard grades exist in the range of vigil antislip Vinyl Deck;
barefoot, commercial, industrial and offshore. Barefoot grade is
specifically designed for use in hospitals or nursing homes where
a very fine grade is required for areas where commercial grade is
too abrasive for sensitive bare feet. Commercial grade is normally
used in areas where heavy spillage or soilage does not occur. Industrial
grade is used on most external areas where there may be spillage
and/or soilage from lubricants. Offshore grade is used on areas
where there is a high buildup of grease or oil. This surface is
the most severe and is not affected by very heavy spillage and soilage
of chemicals or lubricants.
|
| 3.
Colour: |
The
colour of Vinyl Deck is not as important as for Stair Nosings
or Ladder Rung Covers. Safety yellow is often used to highlight
the safe area, however, this often becomes very dirty from spillage
or soilage. Because of this, Vinyl Deck is available in a range
of colours to suit the existing decor.
|
| 4.
Foundation: |
The
foundation used for Vinyl Deck is a bench top quality, 1.5mm flexible
vinyl.
|
| 5.
Installation: |
Vigil
Antislip Vinyl Deck can be installed over virtually any flat surface.
A two part water soluble flexible sealant adhesive or contact
adhesive are the best methods to install Vigil Antislip Vinyl
Deck.
|
| 6.
Cleaning: |
Because
of the extreme hardness and chemical resistance of Vigil Antislip
Vinyl Deck, cleaning can be effected with high pressure steam or
water, degreasers or detergents. Stubborn soilage can be removed
with a stiff deck broom. Although the antislip surface can cope
with solvents, the vinyl foundation cannot so it cannot be used
to clean Vinyl Deck. Do not use scrapers or wire brushes.
|
| 7.
General: |
Ensure
that Vinyl Deck is installed correctly as loose sheets can be
dangerous. Ensure that the adhesive coverage is to the edges of
the Vinyl Deck otherwise it will be liable to chip.
If
using solvent based adhesives, ensure that the area is well ventilated
and appropriate filter masks or respirators are worn.
