Safety-Walk Indoor/Outdoor Slip-Resistant Tape, Grey, 2 in x 15 ft Roll

i got this item because we have a grout and 1.5" x1.5" tile shower floor (shiny type of ceramic tiles). those rubber mats w/ suction cups never really stuck securely to the tile floor (maybe due to the placement of the tiles and grout) so it was very dangerous stepping in and out of the shower - plus, they are a pain to keep clean. so, i thoroughly cleaned the shower floor using muriatic acid (normally for swimming pools) and dried it as best as possible w/ a couple of dry towels. i cut long strips (like two 3' and two 4.5' strips), placed them so that the end pieces landed in the middle of a tiny tile to guarantee a good stick on the ends at least. the width of the tape is what made me nervous because it would land right where the edge of the tiny tiles curved down and the grout starts but after applying the tape, i pressed down the tape but paid more attention to the edges by pressing them w/ the waxy paper part of the sticky backing of the tread tape (the part you throw in the trash). in hind sight, i should have purchased that rubber roller that is recommended... but it all worked out great. it's been 2 months and all the tape is still down on the shower floor. no corners or edges are coming up, yet... looks good and is easy on the bare feet. my thinking is, if the edges start to come up, i can take an exacto knife and trim as needed. but so far so good. my dad uses this shower and he drags his foot due to a stroke so this tape works great for him.

I purchased to provide more traction for an above ground pool intake side clamp on style fitler/screen. The unit kept popping off. A 22' diameter pool with about 12,000 gallons of water. The surface of the pool frame is a smooth enamel finish and the clamp is plastic. The frame has an oval shape (Bestway / Coleman). I cleaned the surface of the exposed pool frame and then applied two side by side sections of this traction tape so that the ends were facing away from the pool water, tucked under the back and bottom edge. The clamp now stays on without issue, including with adults making waves from cannon ball jumps into the pool. Pool uses a chlorine generator (salt water system), and so far the traction tape has been problem free in that environment for about a month now.

Does what it is designed to do, and has lasted four years and counting on my cellar stairs. I got more to do other stairs and the backing tape kept splitting and staying on the step tape, it required some serious fingernail scraping but seems okay.

My dad is in his late 80s so I wanted to make sure the cellar steps were safe for him. He had already purchased small bright white strips (better suited for the bathtub). I replaced them with this wider, more secure and more textured tape and was very happy. The texture is not sandpaper rough, rather more athletic gear rugged. This is a quality product. So, why is my title "almost perfect?" Because it is dark grey in color (only option I could find). After affixing strips of this to each stair, I then had to cut up dad's old white strips and place a bit on each end of the grey strip and two long slivers between the edge of the grey tape and the very edge of the stair. The stairs now look like a runway at LAX, lol, but the result is everything I wanted. If this 3M tape came in off-white, of course, it would be perfect (dark enough to hide dirt, bright enough to reflect light well). 3M, do you read reviews?

Warning - I put it on fresh wood - which isn't recommended - and it holds pretty well. My excuse - I needed it right away to keep people from getting killed on a new ramp that is slippery when wet. The surface is excellent - it holds well - bare feet, slippery moccasins, flip flops, etc. - and doesn't have a sandpapery effect on bare feet. Really nice. Actually it is holding pretty well, but I have to keep pressing down a few edges and corners. My fault, I highly recommend this product if you install it correctly, or even if you don't. Nobody is getting hurt, and that's what matters.

I have seen a number of reviews here saying this product fails miserably outdoors. I cannot comment on that, I haven't tried them outdoors. I needed something to make a sharply inclined physical therapy exercise ramp safe, to prevent sliding off. I tried a number of anti-skid strips and they all failed under stress, slipping away from the position they were placed in and migrating down the ramp, or peeling off completely. I've had these on the ramp for months, so they have had a lot of use, and so far they are exactly where I originally put them with no sign of peeling off. The adhesive appears to be quite good and the grainy surface provides an excellent foothold for sneakers to grab to. If they will hold someone on a 25 degree ramp without slippage of either tape or foot, I have to assume they would do great on stair steps or floors, but all my experience with them has been in a dry environment. Pros - Stay tightly in place and provide very secure footing, even under the considerable stress of a sharp incline. Cons - Others have said they loosen and peel off in wet environments, I have not tested this.

This is a great product, seriously. Measure twice and cut once then place on the steps. It does not damage the wood and stays on. Background: I just bought a house and had the carpet ripped out. I asked for a satin finish for the oak wood flooring. NOTE! Satin finish is super slippery so my kids slipped down the stairs. I did not want to put a carpet on the stair case nor carpet squares on the steps which requires strong adhesive. This quick, easy, and very inexpensive solution did the trick and saved my family from any tragedies. This color is not very noticeable with wood steps. Remember to cut rounded corners so it will look professional and remember to take your time and measure measure measure.

I decided to roll the dice with this, despite some people saying it didn't adhere well. I wish I hadn't. I cleaned the surface of my wooden front steps thoroughly, waited ample time for it to dry, and then affixed the take to the stairs, making sure to press firmly and repeatedly over the strips with a rolling pin to make sure they were seated well. It was all for naught, as 3 days later when it rained, they peeled right up, and fell off. It looks nice, and works well until it rains, and you actually NEED it...

After a slip and fall, I installed this on the steps to the top of my daughter's bunk bed. No trouble since. Texture is rubberized so it's easy on bare feet and doesn't shred socks. Adhesive is also ridiculously sticky (as it should be), you get one shot to put this in the right spot - so take your time...

very useful

Works well after applied. But the backing is very hard to peel off, the paper backing keep tearing, so is quite frustrating, and you may just give up and throw it away.

I used this tape to give some grip to my dogs carpeted ramp which definitely is not it’s intended use but it worked perfectly! It’s got a strong adhesive on the back which stuck to the sides of the ramp as well as the carpet. It has a nice rubbery feel which gives plenty of grip without being rough like sandpaper. Is comfortable to bare feet and dogs paws 🐾

Compre la cinta para el piso de la regadera, son cómodas con los pies descalzos y tienen muy buen agarre
