Your choice of floor marking tape should be based on the adhesive of the chosen safety tape, its durability, the appearance of the tape, and its functional properties. If your tape must give off stored light during a blackout, then use glow-in-the-dark tape. Vinyl floor tape is available as a traction tape that can be used on stairs, inclined walkways, areas that may be exposed to moisture, or other areas where slipping can be a problem. In modern installations, floor marking is usually done with floor marking tape, not paint.
