Anti-slip coating for wooden bridge.

New bridge made of bongossi wood receives R12 anti-slip coating.

A dilapidated bridge in the picturesque old town of Ulm had to be replaced. The walkable surface of the new bridge construction is made of reddish-brown bongossi. Bongossi wood is known for its extraordinary hardness and weather resistance. In English-speaking countries, it is therefore referred to as ironwood. The nature of the bridge's surface covering was also important because the bridge is not only used by cyclists and pedestrians, but also serves as an emergency access route.

The bridge is featured in every city guidebook, as the famous “Leaning House” is located right next to it. Visitors and locals alike flock to this central attraction. Wood was chosen as the surface material for the new bridge to ensure that it blends in with the medieval cityscape. Wood, regardless of the type, becomes slippery when wet, so it was important that the walkable wooden surface was given an anti-slip coating with slip resistance class R12.

The anti-slip coating used, GriP New Wood, is transparent and, as can be seen in the pictures, almost invisible. You have to know that the anti-slip coating has been applied. The character of the wooden bridge is completely preserved by the anti-slip coating. In addition, the anti-slip coating is weather-resistant, as can be clearly seen in the photos showing the anti-slip coating in dry and wet weather. The R12 slip resistance ensures that all pedestrians and cyclists can cross the bridge without slipping.
