Anti Slip Tape Selection for Showers and Bathtubs
There are few safety measures that provide more bang for the buck than applying anti slip tape to slippery surfaces. Anti slip tape works by increasing the coefficient of friction between foot and floor. The course surface increases friction and reduces the likelihood of slips.
The environment in which it will be applied and the safety features desired are important considerations in determining the appropriate type of anti slip tape to select. A key question to ask is whether the users will be barefoot or wearing shoes/boots. The anti slip tape recommended for showers, bathtubs, and pool decks is less course than general purpose anti slip tape. It is engineered to be non-abrasive, foot friendly and water proof.
Koffler Sales sells anti slip tape for bathtubs and showers in a variety of sizes and colors. The tape is available in pre-cut strips from 8”-24” long and also in 60’ rolls. It is available in three colors – black, white, and gray. In wet environments, anti slip tape is safer, more hygienic, and easier to clean than mats. Another key benefit of anti slip tape is that it is easy to apply if these tips are followed:
- Mop the surface and remove all dirt, sand, particles and oil
- Dry the surface
- Peel off the protective layer of the tape and carefully apply the adhesive side to the surface
- Apply pressure to the tape to ensure it sticks properly and air bubbles are smoothed out.
In addition to anti skip tape for bathtubs, shower, and pool decks, Koffler Sales features a complete product line, including outdoor, safety stripe, photoluminescent, foam, and skateboard grip tape. The customer service department is available to assist you with selecting the anti-slip tape that best fits your requirements.
