After successfully completing the tough selection process required to become one of the 16 Timber Panel Member companies to supply timber to the Olympic venues, John Brash was delighted to supply over 78,000 linear metres of JB CitiDeck as part of the Olympic Park build. Delivered and installed through 4 specialist contractors over 2 years. The deck boards were walked on by hundreds of thousands of visitors for the duration of the games.

The development of CitiDeck combines all the benefits of the bestselling John Brash AntiSlip Plus deck board, but with a host of other benefits designed to improve the performance of the deck board in urban environments.

The smooth board and less abrasive grit give a more comfortable surface for urban footwear, wheelchair users and pushchairs whilst still exceeding the slip resistance requirements of the HSE guidelines.

This is particularly beneficial for wheelchair users, pushchairs, children and the less able, providing a smoother less bumpy surface to travel over. Deck boards with a smooth profile provide greater walking comfort for urban footwear as grooved boards can be difficult to walk on. The profile of the boards also prevents food, dirt or litter becoming trapped, making it much easier to clean and removing any further slip risk from trapped debris.

Since its use for viewing areas, decks, bridges, steps, balconies and boardwalks at the Olympic venues the popularity of CitiDeck has grown for use in urban areas. Recently used at the Library Street urban development, Kendray Hospital, Hilton Garden Inn Hotel Glasgow and, Belbroughton Primary School, the benefits of Citideck deliver improved access for all.
