Review on Houseables Friction Abrasive Ladders Forklifts by Mark Patterson

My initial opinion of this product was very positive. This has certainly prevented my elderly dog from slipping on the stairs for the past year. But about a month ago, 11 months after installation, I noticed that most of the strips were peeling off and curling up at the ends. My preparation was very good: I painted a concrete staircase with latex facade paint. The steps were thoroughly cleaned and dried prior to stripping. These are very flat steps with no texture. I used a roller to press each strip firmly against the surface, paying more attention to the edges. They looked very good and performed very well, but only for a year. Let me add: It's the adhesive on the back of the tape that failed, NOT THE PAINT ON MY STEPS, which adheres well to the concrete. Like I said it's been an amazing year and I don't want a negative review but I wish the steps took longer. PS: It's in Southern California where it rains very little but gets pretty hot in the summer. Next time I'll pay a little more for a 3m product!
