Under ISO 7010, BS 5499 and the Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996, red is specified for prohibition and fire safety marking — fire extinguisher locations, fire exit door surrounds, prohibition zones and emergency stop points. Red anti-slip tape applies this safety colour convention to floor and step surfaces, marking step edges on fire escapes, floor exclusion zones around fire equipment, and prohibited access areas while simultaneously providing anti-slip grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRed is also widely used in industrial and commercial environments as a colour-coded floor marking system — red zones denoting stop points, danger areas, defective goods holding areas and areas immediately adjacent to hazards. The silicon carbide grit surface ensures that anyone entering or working near these red-marked areas also has physical anti-slip protection on the floor surface itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#f2f2f2;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:700;\"\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eRed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:700;\"\u003eGrit Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eSilicon carbide — coarse grade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#f2f2f2;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:700;\"\u003eRoll Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e18.3 metres\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:700;\"\u003eAvailable Widths\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e50mm, 100mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#f2f2f2;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:700;\"\u003eBacking\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003ePressure-sensitive adhesive\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:700;\"\u003eBond Time\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eWalk on immediately; full bond within 24 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#f2f2f2;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:700;\"\u003eWater Resistance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eWaterproof — indoor and outdoor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:700;\"\u003eUV Resistance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eUV stable for outdoor applications\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#f2f2f2;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:700;\"\u003eCompatible Surfaces\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eConcrete, tile, metal, wood, laminate, stone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e50mm vs 100mm\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#2c3e50;color:#fff;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003eBest Applications\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#f2f2f2;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:700;\"\u003e50mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eFire escape stair nosing strips, emergency door threshold marking, narrow exclusion zone borders\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:700;\"\u003e100mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eFloor safety zone marking, exclusion zones around fire equipment, wide ramp and platform safety strips\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features and Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISO 7010 and BS 5499 red — fire safety colour standard\u003c\/strong\u003e — red is the internationally recognised colour for fire safety equipment locations and prohibition marking.

Using red tape on fire escape stair nosings creates a consistent safety colour coding between the step edge marking and other fire safety equipment in the building. However, yellow is also widely used on fire escape stairs for DDA step edge visibility. Both are legitimate; the choice depends on your building's colour coding scheme and any specific fire safety signage strategy in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between red anti-slip tape and red hazard tape?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStandard red hazard tape (barrier tape) is a flat, non-adhesive or lightly adhesive tape used for temporary exclusion zones — it provides visibility but no anti-slip function and no permanent bond. Red anti-slip tape has a permanent pressure-sensitive adhesive and a silicon carbide grit surface — it bonds permanently to floors and steps and provides physical grip alongside the visual colour marking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use it on metal fire escape stairs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The adhesive bonds well to clean, degreased metal surfaces. For external metal fire escape stairs subject to weathering and cleaning, apply anti-slip tape edge sealer along the long edges after installation to prevent water working under the adhesive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy From Stair Nosings UK?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSafety and stair accessories specialist with a complete colour range of anti-slip tapes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilicon carbide grit — higher specification than budget alternatives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoth standard widths available in red from one supplier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUK stock for fast dispatch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpert team with safety marking and compliance knowledge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSelect your width above — 50mm for stair nosing strips and emergency door thresholds, 100mm for floor zone marking and equipment exclusion areas.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stair Nosings UK","offers":[{"title":"50mm × 18.3m Roll","offer_id":48017133928606,"sku":"SNUK-AST-RED-50MM","price":43.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"100mm × 18.3m Roll","offer_id":48017133961374,"sku":"SNUK-AST-RED-100MM","price":86.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/5274\/2046\/files\/b29ed127881897b363525bc25eacc868.png?v=1784746239","url":"https:\/\/stairnosingsuk.co.uk\/products\/red-anti-slip-tape-silicon-carbide-fire-safety-18m","provider":"Stair Nosings UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
