SeaDek Non-Skid Tape & Pads

SeaDek Non-Skid Tape & Pads: Genuine Marine Traction You Can Trust

When it comes to keeping your footing on a wet deck, trailer step, or boat ladder, not all non-skid solutions are created equal. SeaDek has spent over two decades engineering PE/EVA foam products specifically for the demands of the marine environment, and their non-skid tape and pads bring that same professional-grade performance to targeted, easy DIY applications.

What Sets SeaDek Non-Skid Tape & Pads Apart

The foundation of every SeaDek non-skid product is their signature closed-cell PE/EVA foam blend. Closed-cell construction is the key differentiator here: SeaDek material is made from PE/EVA foam that is closed-cell, meaning it naturally repels water and will remain safe to walk on even in slippery conditions. That translates directly to reliable wet-weather traction on swim platforms, cockpit steps, and trailer fenders — the exact spots where a slip can lead to a serious injury.

SeaDek's non-skid lineup includes two flagship product formats. Their Step Kits are purpose-built pads for high-traffic boarding zones: great for slippery trailer fenders, steps, and boat ladders, each kit is made from 6mm thick PE/EVA blended foam that provides excellent traction when wet or dry, and is backed with a pressure-sensitive adhesive for easy peel-and-stick application. Step Kits are available in both Embossed and Teak texture designs, with each step measuring 3.75" W x 12.75" L.

For applications that require more flexibility, SeaDek Tape is the go-to roll-form solution. The SeaDek Tape delivers instant non-skid traction and surface protection wherever you need it — this highly adaptable, peel-and-stick foam strip easily cuts to size to add a comfortable grip to steps and gear handles, stop hatch vibrations, or protect any high-wear area on your boat, vehicle, and outdoor equipment. Backed with an acrylic-based pressure-sensitive adhesive, SeaDek Tape can be used to add grip to all sorts of things, like fishing rods, railings, or net handles.

Built-In Durability & Easy Maintenance

A major advantage of SeaDek's foam over traditional sandpaper-style anti-skid or marine carpet is how the surface holds up over time. Unlike carpet, teak, or other flooring substrates, SeaDek resists dirt and grime on the surface and can be hosed down with water, or for tougher stains, cleaned with their specially formulated cleaner Dek Magic. The foam is also UV-stable and colorfast, so it won't bleach out after seasons in the sun.

SeaDek step pads are formulated with an acrylic-based high-bond pressure-sensitive adhesive and are shock absorbent, durable, and lightweight. Installation couldn't be simpler: clean the area you'd like to apply SeaDek steps to, peel back the paper liner, and stick.

Versatile Applications Beyond the Boat

While SeaDek's roots are firmly in the marine world, their non-skid tape and pads are equally at home wherever traction matters. The versatile design makes SeaDek Tape suitable for boats, docks, coolers, steps, storage compartments, and more. Whether you're outfitting a bass boat ladder, a pontoon boarding step, an RV entry, or a kayak deck pad, the same trusted PE/EVA formula delivers consistent grip and comfort. SeaDek's revolutionary material was made for the marine industry, and tested against the most rigorous conditions to ensure durability built to last.

With a lineup of 11 products spanning step kits, foam tape rolls, and specialty pads, SeaDek gives boaters and outdoor enthusiasts a straightforward path to safer, more comfortable surfaces — no professional installer required.
