How to Fix Anti Slip Tape and Perma Family Tape
In this video, we demonstrate effectively and correctly fixing our tapes in the rare event that an issue occurs. Our tapes are made from strong materials and are designed to be highly durable, so severe damage is uncommon. However, we have created this video as a helpful resource on those rare occasions when it may be needed.
How To Apply Anti Slip Tape to External Porous Surfaces
For external or porous surfaces, proper application of anti-slip tape requires additional steps to ensure its durability. H3506 Surface Primer prevents moisture from affecting the bond between the surface and the tape's adhesive layer. This enhances safety by reducing slip and fall incidents in homes and workplaces. Heskins anti-slip tape is versatile and provides added safety on porous surfaces with the help of Surface Primer.
How to Apply Anti Slip Tape to Chequered Plates and Durbar
Conforming to irregular surfaces, our specialised non-slip tape is recommended for applying to chequered plates or Durbar. While the pattern on these surfaces provides slip protection, it can be counterproductive when wet. Heskins' Conformable non-slip tape is designed to cover and improve grip on such surfaces. Check out our instructional video for installing the tape on uneven surfaces to enhance safety.
How To Remove Anti Slip Tape
Heskins anti-slip tape is known for its strong adhesive that keeps it securely in place for years, making its removal challenging. However, we have discovered the most efficient method for removing the non-slip tape. Watch our helpful video guide for step-by-step instructions. If you need the tape to be applied temporarily, we recommend Heskins H3427 Removable Non-Slip tape.
How To Clean Anti Slip Tape
Properly cleaning anti-slip tape is essential for maintaining the non-slip properties of Heskins tape. Accumulated mud and contaminants can clog the grit granules, compromising the tape's effectiveness in preventing slips (especially for lower grit level tapes like Extra Coarse, recommended for areas prone to dirt). Mud can also impact the reflectivity or photoluminescent qualities of the tape. Watch our instructional video to learn how to clean Heskins non-slip tape effectively.
