Product Information
Full details
Gorilla Heavy-Duty Tread Tape is an essential safety solution for homeowners, contractors, and DIY enthusiasts looking to reduce slip hazards on high-traffic or moisture-prone surfaces. Its primary benefit is a high-traction, weather-resistant grip that significantly improves stability on slippery steps, ladders, and decking; however, users should note that the aggressive adhesive requires a perfectly clean, dry surface for optimal, long-term adhesion.

FAQs
Can this tape be used indoors?
Yes, it is perfectly suited for indoor stairs, workshops, or basement entrances.
Will it hold up in freezing temperatures?
The tape is designed to be weatherproof and withstand a wide range of temperature fluctuations, though it should be applied when the temperature is above freezing for the best initial bond.
How do I remove the tape if I need to replace it?
Use a heat gun or hair dryer to soften the adhesive, then slowly peel it away. Residual adhesive can be removed with an adhesive remover or mineral spirits.
Is this tape safe for bare feet?
Because the tape features an aggressive abrasive surface for maximum grip, it is not recommended for areas where you frequently walk barefoot.
Does this tape come in different widths?
This specific product is standard width, but you can easily cut it to narrower strips using heavy-duty scissors if needed.
Troubleshooting
Tape edges lifting after application
Ensure the surface was completely clean and dry before application. Use a rubber roller to apply firm, even pressure to the edges.
Tape is not sticking to a rough or porous surface
Apply a primer or sealer to the surface first to create a smooth, non-porous base for the adhesive to grab onto.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve maximum longevity, preparation is critical. First, ensure the application surface is completely clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, or peeling paint; using a degreaser is recommended for metal or slick surfaces. Measure and cut the tape to the desired length before peeling the backing. Apply the tape firmly, starting from the center and smoothing outward to push out any air bubbles. For the best bond, apply pressure across the entire length of the strip. The tape is compatible with most sealed wood, metal, plastic, and concrete. For routine care, simply clean the surface of the tape using a broom or a damp cloth to remove debris that might clog the abrasive texture over time.
