What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026
This is a high-contrast yellow-and-black striped adhesive tape with a gritty, non-slip surface, designed to mark the edges of steps and ramps so they're easier to see and safer to walk on. It's particularly useful for someone with low vision who has difficulty distinguishing step edges in areas with poor contrast — a common fall risk at home or in public buildings. You get a 2-inch wide, 60-foot roll that you cut to length and stick down yourself, making it a straightforward home modification. Surface prep matters — the adhesive bonds best to clean, dry, smooth surfaces, and may peel over time on rough or painted concrete without additional adhesion.

What Setup Looks Like
- Out of the box
- Clean and dry the surface where tape will be applied.
- Cut tape to the desired length, peel the backing, and press firmly along step edges.
- With a guide
For outdoor or high-traffic areas, consult installation guidance on proper surface prep and corner techniques to prevent peeling. Expect 30–60 minutes for a full staircase.
