Abstract
An elongated member suitable for flooring, decking, or seating, having a top plate formed as an extrusion of plastic material suitable for overlying a support, wherein the top plate includes ribs constituted by protruding portions of parallel, spaced apart, elongated friction elements co-extruded therewith, the friction elements being formed of plastic having distinctly greater softness or flexibility than the main parts of the top plate and suitable for providing a non-slip surface. The member may include an elongated support formed as a relatively rigid extrusion of plastic material having a base plate with upstanding side flanges and a longitudinally extending upstanding support portion positioned between the flanges, the top plate overlying the support and having edge formations engaging the side flanges.
