FINEHOUS 6"x24" Non-Slip Stair Treads Tape (15-Pack) - Clear Anti-Slip Indoor Strips

I was really conflicted about using these strips. I love wood, and when I remodeled my basement and tore the carpet off the stairs and discovered the stairs had REAL wood treads, I was thrilled. I sanded them down and put several coats of poly on them and I was extremely happy with how they looked. But I was concerned that my wife or I might slip on them. They aren't super slick, anyone with shoes on would have no issues, but in socks....? I wanted to put something down to create better traction, but I just HATED the idea of covering up my beautiful steps with something that would visually detract from them. I ordered the strips a week ago and they showed up promptly. I've pondered for the last week and finally decided I just had to put them down. If I didn't and someone slipped and hurt themselves I would feel terrible forever. I didn't need to worry. I'm amazed at how these strips virtually disappear on the steps. Viewed at an angle (like from the top of the stairs looking down or vice-versa) they are essentially invisible. When looked at from directly overhead you can see them but only minimally. See the attached pictures and you'll see what I mean. I used a gloss polyurethane for my finish, had I used a flat or satin finish the strips would have blended in even more. My steps are made of red oak which is a relatively light toned wood. I suspect that on darker steps the strips may be more visible. I don't know that for sure though. The quality of the strips seems very high to me. They're as heavy a gauge of plastic as they can be and still be thin enough to not create a "step" when sitting on the surface of the tread. Even the paper backing seemed to be high quality paper. Since I just put them down today the quality of the adhesive remains to be seen, but I've done a lot of home improvement over the years and the adhesive seems to my eye to be excellent. Installation is simple. It will help the strips disappear if they're installed in the identical location on each step so if you're doing it freehand it helps to have a good eye and a steady hand. If you don't have a steady hand (and even if you do) you may want to create a "jig" so that the placement is exact. A simple board whose length is about the width of your step would work well. You could just rip the board to the proper width, then place the board against the back of the step and then align the strip against the edge of the board. (Ripping a board involves using a table saw, if you don't have one perhaps a friend or neighbor does. Or the big box home improvement stores will generally do it for free.) But since the strips disappear so well don't fret doing it by hand. That's the way I did it and I think it came out fine as far as placement goes. It just depends on how OCD you are. The strips come with a plastic roller to get the strips firmly attached to the steps, use it! You'll see as you roll the strips down that they disappear more the more tightly they're contacting the step. Pay extra attention to rolling the edges of the strips down, you want very solid contact at the edge. Don't just pat the strips in place with your hand, use the roller. So in summary I'm very pleased with how things turned out, and certainly on red oak wood these strips blend in very well. They're well made and shipped promptly and the seller has followed up with several emails to make sure I'm satisfied with my purchase, so I'm guessing if you had any problems the seller would probably be responsive.

I bought the stair treads to put some traction on our hardwood stairs not only for the family but mostly for our dogs. My black lab is getting older and developing hip problems, so naturally the slick stairs are becoming worrisome. I also went with clear because of course I didnt want to hide the wood under dark ones. The shipping was fast and installation was so easy. I did not rush and these strips only took me about an hour to prep and apply all 15. They are very sticky which is what you want but take your time. They are also not invisible but they are not an eye sore either. I swept all the stairs 1st then just used all purpose 409 and a microfiber cloth to wipe them down since it dries quick. Starting at the top of the staircase, I'd spray 409, wipe with the cloth, wait a moment to dry. Then with a small ruler, line up a tread where I wanted it and begin applying. For the adhesive, i started at one end, rolling about 3 inches of the backing down (but not ripping it off), confirm I was still in the spot I wanted, then stuck it to the stair. After the end was on I used the roller to push out any air. I would then peel a few more inches back, press with roller and repeat till entire strip was on. I did a few more rolls end to end to ensure it was secure and I was done! I've had no issues since I put these on and my lab is no longer skidding down the stairs. Glad I chose to get these!

We’ve had these on our stairs now for about a year and a half and have been very pleased. Our dog kept slipping on the stairs because they used to have carpet and he wasn’t used to the new flooring (LVP). They were very easy to install and have performed well. Our dog is gone now but we have left them on the stairs because they also help us from not slipping when only wearing socks. They have stuck very well with now edges or corners coming up. They do occasionally require cleaning because we aren’t good about consistently removing our shoes when we come in the house so I have taken a toothbrush and 409 and a container of water and sprayed them with the 409 and then used the toothbrush to clean them. I then used the clean water to clean up the dirty spray. They are grippy so I can’t just wipe them with a wipe but cleaning them this way made a definite difference and it’s time to do it again. We feel like these were money well spent and we have recommended them to several people. We got them for the dog. We’re keeping them for us. Most people don’t even realize we have them in the steps (except when they need cleaning like right now 😳) because they are clear.

These were super easy to apply and work extremely well. We have hardwood steps that are very slippery and after two or three slip and falls down them, I needed to find something to use that still showed the natural wood and this does a great job. Unless the glare is on them, you can't really see them unless you're looking for them. It retains to look but provides a great amount of resistance to slipping. Going down the stairs with bare feet or socks was flat out dangerous...this seems to have solved the issue. 32" is the perfect size - if I had anything to complain about; it would be that the roller included (which does a great job) is hard to get to the edges where the stair meets the wall due to the screw coming out both sides of the roller. Not a huge deal but the only real issue I could think of.

I was shocked how easy they are to install. I put right at tip of step and my dogs go up and down the stairs without slipping. They are clear so they blended into the color of my staircase!! Highly recommend!!

This is a great product! So we purchased really really light Berber carpet. We love it the carpet except we were noticing that even with the "shoes off" rule, we were still seeing dirt accumulate on the top 4 stairs. I began my internet research to see what could solve this problem I ran across this crazy product that was like $36 to cover 2 steps. Crazy expensive so I kept looking and found this product that was for hardwood stairs but the reviews were good so I figured it might work for carpet.. WELL WHAT DO YOU KNOW! IT WORKS ON CARPET! Yay for me. It was super easy to install: just peel and place. You don't have to worry about bubbles because it's on carpet so you can peel off the release paper all at once. I used the roller to make sure it's adhered well. I'm so happy with this purchase... ONE NOTE-- DO NOT APPLY TO WET CARPET. IT WILL NOT STICK. vacuum and spot clean and allow it time to dry before applying. I highly recommend this product for hardwood floors and carpet stairs!

People comment all the time about how they can barely see them, but we feel so much safer going up and down our stairs. 5 stars isn't enough!

these non-slip tape strips are very helpful and comes in handy for hardwood stairs, even for pets. It does apply on clear and can't see it's there.

Es una excelente opción para adquirir, si son pisos claros donde se van a instalar si se llegan a ensuciar un poco pero limpiandolos bien quedan de nuevo trasnparentes y no se notan, el grosor que tienen es muy bueno. Si lo recomiendo.

Après quelques frayeurs en voyant ma jeune chienne déraper sur notre escalier en béton ciré, j'ai décidé de passer outre le design et de sécuriser sa descente. Ce produit est TOP quasiment invisible mais d'une grand efficacité... me voilà rassurée !

Wir haben eine glatte lackierte Holztreppe. Eigentlich für unseren Hund gekauft, bietet der Rutschschutz natürlich auch für Personen, die häufig ohne Hausschuhe unterwegs sind (Sohn und Frau) eine erhöhte Trittsicherheit, ohne dabei optisch dominant zu wirken und die Holzoptik zu beeinträchtigen. Die Streifen kleben seit vier Jahren noch wie am ersten Tag, wenn man die Stufen zuvor natürlich ordentlich reinigt und können auf die passende Länge, falls nötig, problemlos zugeschnitten werden

La verdad es que no estaba seguro del resultado, pero apenas se notan, se instalan muy fácilmente y agarra muy bien el pie. Los perros suben y bajan sin problema. Justo ahora iba a comprar otra caja para el resto de escalones de la casa y está agotado :'(

Facile da montare e da tagliare se la striscia e troppo lunga colla forte e dopo un di lavaggi sono rimaste integre
