E. Step Bond™ Installation Tape System.
A fast, easy, cost-effective alternative to rubber tile liquid stair tread
adhesive. Use with stair tread, nosings, riser and landing tiles in areas
requiring immediate walk-on or where odor sensitivity presents a challenge.
VOC-free and odorless, Step Bond™ reduces stair tread installation time and
costs.
NOTE: All receiving treads must be dry, level, smooth and DUST FREE.
Paint, oil, grease, old adhesives and any foreign matter must be removed.
Step Bond™ Tape is available in rolls 6” x 164’ (80 lineal feet or 80 square
feet).
Apply strips of StepBond™ Tape to the tread of the stair, beginning at the
inner edge and progressing to the front of the step. PRESS FIRMLY INTO
PLACE.
Apply StepBond™ Tape to the face of the stair tread riser. PRESS FIRMLY
INTO PLACE. Remove the face paper from the StepBond™ on the tread. Fit
the rubber stair tread nosing to the stair nosing. The rubber nosing must fit
snugly to the stair nosing.
Applying hand pressure, and starting at the front of the tread, roll the
remainder of the stair tread into position. “Pat” down to achieve adhesion.
Riser: Remove the face paper from the Step Bond™ on the riser. Fit the
rubber riser tightly into place on the stair riser. Using your hand, rub the
surface of the riser to insure good adhesion. Using a hand roller, roll both
the rubber stair tread and rubber riser to insure a uniform, secure bond.
