Frequently asked questions (FAQS) about Anti Slip Tapes, Tiles & Treads

How can anti slip strips and tapes reduce workplace accidents?

Anti slip strips add extra grip on surfaces that are prone to becoming slippery, such as stair edges, ramps, and warehouse floors. By improving traction underfoot, they reduce the likelihood of slips and falls, helping employers meet safety obligations and keeping staff safer in busy areas.

What’s the difference between anti slip tapes, treads, and grip tiles?

Tapes and strips are self-adhesive and quick to apply, making them ideal for steps, ladders, and narrow walkways. Anti slip treads are pre-cut and shaped for stairways and ladders where a firm footing is critical. Grip tiles and sheets, on the other hand, cover larger floor areas and are made from durable materials designed to withstand heavy traffic in workshops, production lines, and entrances.

Can anti slip treads and tiles be used outdoors?

Yes, many of our grippy floor tiles, heavy-duty treads, and weather-resistant tapes are suitable for external steps, ramps, and loading bays. Their tough construction ensures they stay in place even in wet or icy conditions, making them reliable for year-round outdoor use.

How long do anti slip products last under heavy use?

Our anti slip tapes, treads, and grip tiles are built with strong adhesives and resilient surfaces, such as mineral-coated or textured PVC, designed to withstand wear from shoes, boots, and trolleys. With proper application, they retain their grip even in high-traffic industrial areas, offering long-lasting safety without frequent replacement.

Anti slip tapes that reduce slips and keep work moving

At AJ Products UK, we offer anti slip tapes that add instant traction on stairs, ramps and busy walkways. Our range uses hard-wearing mineral grit on durable backings with high-tack adhesive that bonds to concrete, metal and sealed timber. For joined-up safety cues across your site, support high-risk zones with clear safety signage. Choose widths from slim edge markers to wide aisle bands, with solid colours or hazard chevrons for visibility. Installation is quick — clean, apply, press — and upkeep is simple with routine sweeping and mopping.

Anti slip strips and treads for confident footing on steps

Where footing matters most, we supply slim anti slip strips to highlight stair nosings without changing the step profile. For full coverage, pre-cut anti slip treads finish each step neatly with bevelled edges that resist daily scuffing and cleaning. Match grit to the task — fine for indoor corridors, medium for general warehouse routes, coarse for outdoor or oily areas — and pair step zones with lane marking using magnetic tapes so people see where to walk at a glance. Conformable options mould securely to chequer plate and other uneven metals so adhesion stays strong from edge to edge.

Grip sheets deliver continuous traction on ramps and platforms

Larger areas benefit from uninterrupted grip. Our grip sheets lay in long, tidy runs on ramps, mezzanines and loading bays, then trim cleanly around posts and drains for a professional finish. Oil-resistant grit supports maintenance areas, UV-stable markings stay readable in bright light and high-bond adhesives hold firm through regular wash-downs. During fit-out or curing, keep routes controlled with temporary cordons using traffic cones placed on natural approach lines.

Grip tiles that adapt to changing layouts and wet zones

When layouts shift, your traction should follow. Our interlocking grip tiles — also known as gripped tiles or grippy floor tiles — create a modular, high-grip surface that lifts and re-lays without damage. Closed-face tiles provide a smooth, easy-mop finish indoors, while open designs let spills drain through in wet zones. Quick to install and comfortable underfoot, they’re a practical way to add reliable footing to temporary cells, seasonal routes or areas you plan to reconfigure.
