Benefits of Crossgrip roof walkway system:

Slip resistance: the cross directional top ribs combined with the "diamond cut" top surface, gives excellent slip resistance, particularly when walking along the length of the matting.
Drainage: its 14mm height and open grid format give good drainage and is also particularly effective where "puddling" occurs.
Flexibility: Crossgrip's flexibility ensures that it will contour to bumps, slight ridges or other imperfections of the roof surface. This can often occur after roof renovation because new membrane systems are just laid on top of the old ones.
Protection of the membrane: by definition these roofing membranes (usually bitumen, PVC, FPO, or EPDM) have to be waterproof. However as they are very thin and possibly easily punctured, the use of Crossgrip will protect against harm as a result of pedestrian traffic.
Quick and easy to install: as it comes in roll of 10 metres, Crossgrip can be quickly installed especially when compared with tile format systems offered by competitors. There is also no need to fix Crossgrip to the roof being a loose lay product (see wind testing).
Maintenance free: Crossgrip once installed requires no maintenance. Its non-porous PVC composition is resistant to all weathers.
Lightweight product: Crossgrip weighs 6.6 kg/sqm and can therefore be used on light roofing structures.
Long lasting
UV resistant
Stable through colours; Available in black or light grey colour as standard providing contrast with the waterproof membrane for walkway marking purposes.

Although Crossgrip can be considered a more expensive product than similar products, it is an exclusive system with a unique combination of benefits with no direct competition in the market place.

It is also worth comparing its total cost (including fitting) when other competitor's alternatives are in question. Crossgrip's rolls of 10 meters make the fitting much easier and quicker than other products such as interlocking tiles. Another major advantage is that Crossgrip requires no fixing (see wind testing) saving substantial time and expenditure.
