Description
The H2O Slip Grip tread is a 2 by 24 inch textured strip that bonds to pool steps and floor areas to cut slipping on wet surfaces. It installs on vinyl, fiberglass, concrete, and gunite pools, and the white finish blends into light-colored pool steps and walkways.
Where This H2O Slip Grip Tread Gets Used
Pool builders and service techs place this tread on steps, benches, and shallow-end floor areas where swimmers step out of the water barefoot. Because it bonds with H2O AquaBonder adhesive, a crew can apply it underwater without draining the pool, which keeps a repair or upgrade job to a single visit. Municipal and commercial pool operators also install these treads as part of routine safety upgrades ahead of a health department inspection.
Installing the H2O Slip Grip Tread
Surface prep matters more than cure time on this job: the substrate needs to be clean of algae and scale before the adhesive goes down, wet or dry. Once bonded, the textured strip stays flexible enough to follow the slight curve of a pool step without lifting at the edges. Most residential step applications use one tread per step, centered on the step’s landing area, while commercial pools and public facilities often run a full step width of treads side by side to meet local slip-resistance code. A crew resurfacing a full staircase should order enough strips to cover every step in one pass, since color and texture can vary slightly between production lots.
