Drilling Scotgrip® anti-slip material
Most Scotgrip® anti-slip safety products are delivered pre-drilled for speed of installation. If you need to drill holes in our products then please use the following guidelines.
- Place the anti-slip material with the rough side down.
- Mark out holes to be drilled.
- Drill through the anti-slip material with an appropriate masonry drill bit.
- When using M8 bolts it is advisable to countersink the hole on the anti-slip surface with a 16mm Ø (5/8" Ø) masonry drill bit. This allows for correct seating of the bolt.

The following methods are advised:
- Sweeping with a stiff bristle brush.
- Applying 'rigwash' type de-greaser then sweeping with a stiff bristle brush.
