Flourescent Stair Tread

Q: How does the Fluorescent Stair Tread work?

The Fluorescent Stair Tread is a 2" x 16' roll of anti-slip tape that provides both visual contrast and slip resistance for stairs. The fluorescent material glows in low light conditions, making each step clearly visible, while the textured surface prevents slipping. Simply apply the tape to the edge of each stair step for immediate safety improvement.

Q: What makes the Fluorescent Stair Tread effective in low light areas?

The fluorescent properties of this stair tread tape absorb light during the day and emit a visible glow in darkness or low light conditions. This creates a clear visual guide that helps people see each step, significantly reducing the risk of missing a step and falling, especially during nighttime or in dimly lit stairways.

Q: How much coverage does one roll of Fluorescent Stair Tread provide?

Each roll contains 16 feet of 2-inch wide anti-slip tape, which typically covers 8-10 standard stair steps depending on the width of your stairs. For a complete staircase, you may need multiple rolls to ensure every step is properly marked and protected.

Q: Is the Fluorescent Stair Tread suitable for both indoor and outdoor stairs?

Yes, this anti-slip tape is designed to work on various stair surfaces including wood, concrete, metal, and tile. It's particularly beneficial for indoor stairs in hallways, basements, and areas with limited lighting, as well as outdoor steps where visibility may be compromised.

Q: How long does the fluorescent glow last on the stair treads?

The fluorescent material charges from any light source during the day and provides a visible glow for several hours in darkness. The glow gradually fades but recharges automatically when exposed to light again, making it a reliable long-term safety solution.

Q: Can the Fluorescent Stair Tread help prevent falls for elderly individuals?

Absolutely! This product is specifically designed to improve stair safety for people of all ages, including elderly individuals who may have vision challenges or mobility concerns. The combination of visual contrast and slip resistance addresses two major causes of stair-related falls.

Q: How easy is it to install the Fluorescent Stair Tread?

Installation is simple and requires no special tools. The tape features a strong adhesive backing - just clean the stair surface, peel off the backing, and apply the tape to the edge of each step. The tape adheres firmly and provides long-lasting performance.

Q: What maintenance does the Fluorescent Stair Tread require?

The stair treads require minimal maintenance. Simply clean them periodically with mild soap and water to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals that might damage the fluorescent coating. Regular cleaning helps maintain both the anti-slip properties and the fluorescent effectiveness.
