Common questions
Choosing products, preparing a surface and getting support.
Which surfaces should I use?
Choose a product intended for your surface. Prepare a clean, dry surface free of dust, oil and residue. For textured metal or uneven steps, check the aluminum-backed range and its product instructions.
Which products suit barefoot areas?
For showers, pools and other barefoot areas, choose products specifically intended for those uses. Check the product page for compatible surfaces and wet-area suitability.
How do caution, reflective and glow stripes differ?
Yellow-and-black caution tape adds visual contrast. Reflective stripes catch directed light, such as a flashlight. Glow stripes need exposure to light before they can be seen in darkness.
Can I cut the tape to size?
For the roll tape shown in the installation guide, measure the step and cut to the required length before peeling the backing. For pre-cut treads, check the product instructions before trimming.
How can I reduce bubbles under transparent treads?
Peel back only about a quarter of the liner first. Align one edge, then roll slowly from the short edge while gradually peeling the rest. Avoid stretching the tread or repeatedly lifting and reattaching it.
When can I use the surface after installation?
Follow the application conditions and any waiting period printed on your specific product packaging or instructions. Contact LifeGrip with the product name if the instructions are unclear.
Is there a minimum order for free shipping?
Free shipping is available from one item. Read the shipping policy and check the delivery options shown at checkout for your address.
How do I get help with an order or return?
Contact LifeGrip with your order number, product name and a brief description of the issue. For returns, read the Returns policy linked in the footer for the current conditions.
Anti-slip tape installation
Follow these four steps for the roll tape shown in the guide. Check your product instructions for its application conditions.
-
Clean and dry
Thoroughly clean the surface to remove dust, oil and moisture. Let it dry completely before applying the tape.
-
Measure and cut
Measure the step. If needed, use scissors to cut the tape to the required length.
-
Peel the backing
Carefully peel the protective backing away from the adhesive side. Keep the adhesive clean.
-
Position and press
Position the tape and press down firmly. Smooth from the center toward the edges to remove air bubbles.
Transparent stair tread installation
For transparent stair treads, keep most of the liner attached and apply gradually with a roller.
-
Wipe the installation area
Wipe the area clean. Make sure the surface is dry and free of dust and stains before you start.
-
Peel back a quarter of the liner
Partially peel the release liner back about a quarter of the way. Keep the rest attached to protect the adhesive from dust.
-
Align and secure one edge
Align one edge with the desired position. Gently place it on the surface, then press firmly along that edge with your fingers.
-
Roll slowly from the short edge
Start at the short edge and roll forward perpendicular to it. Lift the loose side slightly and peel away the liner gradually as you roll. Do not pull the tread tight or stretch it.
