Adds maximum non slip protection to any grab bar. The surface of the grab bar grip tape is made from a combination of rubber and adhesive, providing an extremely durable and secure grip that won't slip even in wet conditions.

Bathroom transfers require reliable stability. In fact, a biomechanical study published in Clinical Biomechanics demonstrated that individuals apply an average of 23% of their total body weight onto a grab bar during normal movements, and navigating slippery or wet bathroom conditions significantly increases the time they must tightly hold onto the bar.

Its easy to install too -- just peel off the backing paper, press firmly onto the grab bar, and you're done!

Grip tape makes a grab bar easier to hold, but the bar itself has to be secured into the wall first. MedlinePlus advises installing grab bars by the tub and toilet as a key bathroom fall prevention step. For more ideas, see our bathroom safety guide for older adults.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does the Non Slip Grab Bar Tape work?

The Non Slip Grab Bar Tape works by adding a textured, rubber-adhesive surface to any grab bar. Simply peel off the backing paper and press firmly onto your existing grab bar. The combination of rubber and adhesive creates an extremely durable, secure grip that prevents slipping even in wet bathroom conditions.

Q: What sizes are available for the grab bar tape?

We carry the 2 inch wide roll, 16.4 feet (5 meters) long, which wraps most standard grab bars. Cut it to length with scissors for each bar.

Q: Is the grab bar tape waterproof and suitable for wet areas?

Yes, the grab bar tape is specifically designed for wet conditions. According to safety data from the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the bathroom is one of the most hazardous areas in the home due to slippery surfaces. It's weather-resistant and maintains its secure grip even when exposed to water, making it perfect for bathroom grab bars, shower areas, and other moisture-prone environments.

Q: How long does the Non Slip Grab Bar Tape last?

The tape is made from an extremely durable combination of rubber and adhesive materials that are built to withstand daily use and wet conditions. Its weather-resistant properties ensure long-lasting performance, though exact lifespan depends on usage frequency and environmental conditions.

Q: Can I install the grab bar tape myself?

Absolutely! Installation is simple and requires no special tools. Just clean the grab bar surface, peel off the backing paper, and press the tape firmly onto the grab bar. The adhesive creates an immediate, secure bond.

Q: Will the tape work on all types of grab bars?

The Non Slip Grab Bar Tape is designed to adhere to most grab bar materials including metal, plastic, and painted surfaces. For best results, ensure the grab bar surface is clean and dry before application.

Q: Who can benefit from using grab bar tape?

This product is ideal for anyone looking to improve bathroom safety, including seniors, individuals with mobility challenges, people recovering from injuries, and anyone wanting to prevent slips and falls in wet areas.

Clinical reports by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) emphasize that environmental modifications, like enhancing the grip traction of existing bathroom fixtures, are among the most effective interventions for reducing accidental fall risks at home.

It's also great for caregivers looking to enhance home safety for their loved ones.

Q: How much coverage does one roll provide?

Each roll provides 16.4 feet of coverage. The amount of grab bars you can cover depends on the width you choose and the length of your grab bars. For example, the standard 2" width can typically cover 2-3 average-sized grab bars.

Q: Can you remove the grab bar tape without residue?

This tape can be removed easily using Goo Gone or another similar solution.

Why we know this works!

We love this grab bar tape because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we see wet, soapy hands slide right off smooth metal bars. How do you make a grab bar less slippery? Add a textured rubber surface: this tape combines rubber and adhesive so the bar stays grippy even in wet conditions, which matters because research in Clinical Biomechanics found people put an average of 23 percent of their body weight through a grab bar during normal movements. Installation is peel and stick: clean the bar, press the tape on firmly, done. It also works on walker handles. This is especially helpful for people with weak hand strength from arthritis or a stroke, and anyone who showers with soapy or lotioned hands. The tape only fixes a slippery surface, not a loose bar: if your grab bar wobbles or is held by suction cups, fix the mounting first, because no tape makes an unstable bar safe.
