USING NON SLIP TAPE FOR STAIRS

When it comes to safety in your home or workplace, stairs and step areas should never be overlooked. Applying abrasive anti slip tape is one of the best choices you can make to help prevent slips and falls. Abrasive anti slip tapes are used in homes, on ramps, on trucks and on most commercial and industrial stair cases.

Thousands of home owners and workers get injured annually due to slips and falls. Slips happen where there is too little friction between the footwear and the walking surface. 

Some common causes of slips are: wet or oily surfaces, occasional spills, weather hazards, loose, unanchored rugs or mats and flooring or other walking surfaces that do not have same degree of traction in all areas.

Bath Tub And Shower Non Slip Safety

When it comes to safety in your home, one room that should not be overlooked is the bathroom, especially the bath tub or shower area. More often than not the bath tub does not have any type of non slip surface to help prevent slips and falls. When you decide to apply some type of anti slip tape, you will find that there is a large variety of types to choose from - from strips to rolls or adhesive bath and shower mats.
Many people, because of economic circumstances or just not wanting a large amount of tape on their bath tub, choose the route of applying strips to the surface of the bath tub or shower. These strips come in different sizes. Examples are ¾" wide x 7.5" long or ¾" wide x 17.5" long and even longer. Most strips are die cut with rounded edges to help keep the corners from curling. White is the most widely used color but they can also be found in clear. More at Street Articles

BEIGE ANTI SLIP TAPE

USING BEIGE ANTI SLIP TAPE


Many people are hesitant to use a non slip tape on stairs or other areas because they believe that it makes the area look bad, thinking black is the only color available. But contrary to this belief there are a number of non slip tape colors available, which will help keep the stair case or any area looking less industrial and well put together. One example of this is the Master Stop Beige Anti Slip Tape. This product has a medium abrasive surface for slip resistance and the color helps keep with the look of the stair or area.
