Surface and Temperature Guide
Sure-Foot has a wide variety of anti-slip products that create safer surfaces, no matter the substrate or environment.
Whether your application is outdoors in the cold of winter and the heat of summer, or indoor and away from the elements, we can recommend the right solution to assure your patrons and workers are protected against slips, trips, and falls.
Among our four main product types, we cover every type of surface, in both controlled and extreme conditions. Our anti-slip tapes, fiberglass, aluminum stair, and rubber/vinyl treads all offer unique strengths in durability, lifetime value, ease of use and application.
Cement, steel, wood, and other more common substrates will require unique anti-slip solutions that meet their needs for adhesion and environment. The temperature will often be an essential distinguishing factor for which product is best in certain situations.
Our guide below breaks down our products and details the critical installation and temperature guidelines necessary to offer prolonged anti-slip protection.
