Position and Adhere Tape

What happens in this clip

With the anti-slip tape cut to the correct length, the application process begins. Start by peeling back a small section of the protective backing paper from one end of the tape, exposing the adhesive side. Carefully position this exposed section onto one side of the stair step, ensuring it is aligned straight. Gradually stick the tape down in sections, slowly peeling off more of the backing paper as you progress across the step. This method helps maintain a straight line and prevents air bubbles or creases from forming during application.

Goal: Securely attach the anti-slip tape in a straight line onto the stair step.

About the full video

This project provides a detailed guide on how to enhance the safety of slippery tiled steps by installing 'Slip No More' anti-slip tape. The process covers essential preparation steps, including cleaning the surface, accurate measurement and cutting of the tape, precise application, and final securing with a roller to ensure superior grip and durability.

Step 3 of 4: Apply Anti-Slip Tape

Peel back a small section of the backing paper from one end of the cut anti-slip tape. Align the tape with the edge of the stair nosing and carefully press it down, gradually peeling off the backing paper as you go. Use a roller or a firm flat object to press the tape down, ensuring there are no air bubbles or wrinkles. Work from the center outwards to push out any trapped air.
