Anti slip tape

Hi does anyone know of any suppliers of Anti Slip or Grip tape?

Similar to the stuff you get on skateboards.

Thanks Neil

3M do it up to 610mm wide. We buy it from our local branch of Buck and Hickman.

We also have another supplier selling a cheaper stuff, which is just as good as the 3M. Can’t remember the name offhand, but I can check in the morning if you need to know.

Hi Neil

I know that Everbuild Ltd make it and most good hardware or builders merchants do sell it, if you get stuck I will find out who has it in stock and give you the contact details, 🙂

I would also say that Buck’s and N&C will only sell this to you at trade price and that would be well over the top in my books 🙄 sorry you guy’s but I deal with them from time to time and know there prices are always high unless on offer when prices come back to planet earth.

All the best
Paul 🙂

Yeah, I know Buck and Hickman are expensive Paul, and I’ve been meaning for ages to find a cheaper supplier of 3M, but never quite got around to it. 😳

Anyways, I’ve remembered the name of the folks we buy from when our customers don’t specify 3M. http://www.heskins.com

Yes, they do Paul. And are very friendly, helpful people to deal with.

If you have a requirement for a volume, even a low one, they will contour cut it to your shape. Very handy when you, for instance, have a customer that wants non slip applying to all the door steps on their Renault Trafics. Send Heskins templates and the non slip arrives all ready to stick on the vans.

As I said above, Heskins stuff is easily as good as 3M in real world use.
