Step into safety with COBA
18 March 2025
COBA IS excited to announce its participation in the Health & Safety Event 2025, taking place from April 8 - April 10 at the NEC Birmingham.

COBA will be on Stand 3/E54, showcasing the COBAGRiP range—a highly effective GRP (Glass-Reinforced Plastic) flooring solution designed to enhance underfoot safety in demanding environments. The COBAGRiP collection includes GRP sheets, stair treads, stair nosing, and grating, all available in various sizes. These products provide exceptional slip resistance, making them ideal for walkways, ramps, stairs, factory floors, and industrial settings—both indoors and outdoors.
Why choose COBAGRiP?
GRP flooring is a durable, weatherproof, and low-maintenance safety solution. The silicon carbide gritted surface offers superior grip properties, achieving R13 slip resistance (DIN 51130:2010) and a Pendulum Test Value (PTV) of 79 in dry conditions and 73 in wet conditions (BS 7976-2:2002). Available in black, grey, and yellow, its stair treads and nosing also feature high-visibility, DDA-compliant yellow borders for added safety.
COBAGRiP is easy to install using either adhesive or mechanical fixing, making it ideal for both new installations and refurbishments. It is also flame retardant and chemical resistant, ensuring long-term reliability in high-traffic and industrial environments.
