Benefits of Using Anti Slip Tape

Anti Slip Tape is a practical way to prevent accidents in potentially slippery areas. Thanks to its self-adhesive backing, it is easy to apply on various surfaces, such as concrete, metal, and wood.

Unlike using rubber anti-slip matting, these abrasive surface tapes are designed to be a permanent fixture to the floor, and provide a flush finish to prevent trip accidents.

Available in different colours and sizes, the tape can be cut to fit any area, making it a versatile choice. It is particularly useful in industrial settings, walkways, stairs, and other areas prone to slippery conditions, helping to increase safety by boosting traction underfoot.

Application and Effectiveness of Anti Slip Tape

Anti Slip Tape provides a textured, high-grip surface that increases the friction between footwear and the applied surface, reducing the risk of slips and falls. The tape's tough polymer substrate is bonded to the surface using a solvent-based acrylic emulsion adhesive.

For uneven surfaces, our PROline Confrmable Anti Slip Tape features a flexible aluminium backing, allowing it to mould around irregularities like checker plate flooring. Simply peel off the backing and stick it to a clean, dry surface for an immediate improvement in slip prevention.

Things to Consider

  • Safety standards: Ensure that the anti-slip tape meets the necessary safety standards, such as the British Standards Institution (BSI) certification, to ensure its effectiveness in preventing slips and falls.
  • Durability: Consider the tape's durability, especially if it is exposed to heavy foot traffic or harsh weather conditions. Look for tapes made from high-quality materials that can withstand wear and tear over time.
  • Adhesive strength: Check the adhesive strength of the tape to ensure it will firmly adhere to the desired surface. Look for tapes with strong adhesives that can withstand frequent use and maintain grip.
  • Easy installation: Look for anti-slip tape that is easy to install without requiring specialised tools or equipment. Consider options that come with clear installation instructions or even pre-cut strips for added convenience.
  • Colour and visibility: Consider the colour and visibility of the tape, especially if it will be used in areas with low light conditions. Opt for tapes with high-visibility colours, such as yellow or black, to enhance safety and ensure the tape is easily noticeable.
  • Size and dimensions: Determine the appropriate size and dimensions of the tape based on the specific application. Consider the width and length of the tape to ensure it provides sufficient coverage and fits the intended surface properly.
  • Surface compatibility: Ensure that the anti-slip tape is suitable for the surface it will be applied to. Consider factors such as compatibility with different flooring materials, whether it can be used indoors or outdoors, and if it is suitable for use on uneven surfaces.
  • Cleaning and maintenance: Consider the ease of cleaning and maintenance for the anti-slip tape. Look for options resistant to dirt, water, and chemicals, making it easier to keep the tape clean and maintain its effectiveness over time.
