Durable Grip for Busy Areas

The tape is manufactured with a fine-grade aluminium oxide surface that provides a durable, medium-grit finish. It is suitable for general-purpose applications where dependable grip is needed without the excessively coarse texture of specialist industrial products.

Its high-grab, pressure-sensitive adhesive bonds quickly to correctly prepared surfaces, allowing treated areas to be returned to use with minimal disruption.

Indoor and Outdoor Use

The tape can be used both indoors and outdoors. For outdoor applications, wet areas or demanding environments, the installation surface must be non-porous and fully prepared before application.

We recommend using the compatible anti-slip tape primer and edge sealer to improve adhesion and help protect the tape edges against moisture, dirt and lifting.

How to Apply Anti-Slip Tape

1. Make sure the application surface is smooth, clean and completely dry.

2. Remove dust, grease, oil, loose paint and other contamination.

3. Use primer when applying to porous, uneven or demanding surfaces.

4. Measure the area and cut the tape to the required length.

5. Round the corners to reduce the risk of edge lifting.

6. Peel back part of the release liner and position the tape.

7. Apply firm, even pressure across the entire surface.

8. Seal the edges when the tape will be exposed to moisture or heavy use.

Do not apply over loose, damaged or contaminated flooring.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this tape suitable for outdoor steps?

Yes. It can be used on outdoor steps when applied to a suitable, clean, dry and non-porous surface. Primer and edge sealer are recommended for exposed applications.

Can anti-slip tape be used on wood?

It may be applied to smooth, sealed wood that is clean, dry and stable. Untreated, damp, rough or porous timber may require primer and may not provide a reliable long-term bond.

Can it be used on concrete?

The surface must be smooth, dry, clean and structurally sound. Because concrete is normally porous, a compatible primer is strongly recommended.

Is the tape waterproof?

The tape is water-resistant when correctly installed on an appropriate non-porous surface. Sealing the edges will help protect outdoor or frequently washed installations.

What width should I choose for stairs?

A 50mm-wide tape is generally the most visible option for stair treads and step edges. A 25mm width is useful where space is limited or a narrower grip line is required.

Can the tape be cut to size?

Yes. Cut it with suitable scissors or a knife before removing the backing liner. Rounding the corners can help reduce edge lifting.

Do I need primer and edge sealer?

They are recommended for porous surfaces, external installations, wet environments and areas exposed to heavy foot traffic. They can improve adhesion and extend the service life of the installation.
