Floor Marking Tape

Floor tape is used in a multitude of settings to improve safety and ensure that large areas are zoned appropriately. Without clear and easy to understand markings almost any workplace will descend into chaos.

Our self-adhesive tape is colour coded allowing you to “zone” areas, and ensure that a uniform colour coding system is adopted sitewide. The Adhesives used on our tape are of an industrial quality and designed for use in all manner of heavy duty environments.

Many of our line marking tapes are stock items, which means you can get them as fast as the next day! Perfect for the last minute jobs to ensure your work area is up to specification for a health and safety inspection.

How Is Floor Marking Tape Applied?

Floor marking tapes are very easy to apply, we even supply a couple of accessories to make the job even easier if doing larger jobs.

The most important thing when applying any finish is ensuring that the surface is dry, clean from dust, dirt and oil. With these substances removed the adhesive has the best chance of achieving a strong bond.

To get a consistent and bubble free run we have a special trolley that can be used to apply our line marking tape. The TapeLiner is a walk behind trolley that allows long runs to be applied at walking pace.

How Do I Ensure I Get A Straight Line?

When applying long runs we recommend using a chalk line marker, this will ensure that the markings produced are straight and true.

Some of our non-slip tapes can be applied to chequered plate surfaces, for these you will need to use a pressure roller. We have these available on the shelf to make installation easy.

What Colour Of Floor Tape Should Be Used Where?

Our Floor tapes are available in a range of colours, although the colour you use is entirely your choice, there is a “standard” colour scheme available. Each colour has its own designated meaning. By adhering to a set scheme throughout your site you will ensure a consistent message is conveyed.

The accompanying Table shows where each colour should be used.

Where paint is better:

• Outdoor Applications - Paint is normally the prefered method of outdoor marking. It is better able to cope with uneven surfaces and changes in temperature.
• Permanent applications - Paint can be touched in where tape cannot be. To repair tape you need to cut out sections and replace them.

Where Tape is better:

• Where markings need to be temporary - the tape can simply be removed when you no longer need the markings.
• Traction Improvement - Use non-slip tape on staircases to improve slip resistance.
• Where it is not possible to use paint - There is no drying time with most tapes and no mess or overspray.
