Tip #1: Proper Installation of Floor Tape

To ensure floor tape lasts for years, proper installation is vital. Create a plan for where the tape will be installed and who will install it. It may be a good idea to have two or more people do the actual installation if you plan to apply long segments of tape. Keeping long sections of tape straight and applying them evenly can be challenging for one person.
Before you apply any tape, you must prepare the floor. First, remove any old tape or paint. Never place new tape on top of old markings, as these can cause your new tape to peel. Next, prepare the floor by sweeping up dust and debris. Wash the floor with a cleanser that does not have chlorine or citrus in it, as these can leave a residue on the floor. Dry the floor using fans or allow it to air dry overnight. If you let the floor air dry, do a visual inspection the next morning to make sure there are no wet spots and that no new debris has entered the area.
