Tenura's latest addition to the daily living aids range is self-adhesive non-slip silicone reels. Our new product is our faithful non-slip silicone roll with a bonus: a strong self-adhesive backing. The adhesive backing means you can apply it to any area as an effective semi-permanent non-slip surface that will not only provide excellent non-slip properties but will not damage any items placed upon it.

The adhesive backing was an additional feature people have enquired about online, at meetings and exhibitions. Now Tenura is happy to make this available and supply an inexpensive, self-adhesive non-slip roll.

Tenura self-adhesive non-slip roll is useful in many domestic and industrial applications, such as in toolboxes, workbenches, breakfast bars or side tables at home or desks in the office. It can also be applied to handheld objects to increase grip and comfort. Tenura self-adhesive silicone reels decrease the risk of spills and prevent stains from objects resting on its surface. Thanks to the effortless peel-off backing, this material can be applied quickly and neatly, creating an aesthetically pleasing non-slip surface.

Tenura self-adhesive non-slip roll is highly versatile, due to you being able to cut pieces to size using scissors, making them ideal for when a non-slip surface is required. The cut to size versatility makes anti-slip roll perfect for areas where multiple or specific shape applications may be needed.

Like most of Tenura silicone non-slip and grip aids, Tenura self-adhesive non-slip reels can be cleaned with a simple combination of hot water and soap but will lose all non-slip properties whilst wet. Once dry, the silicone's non-slip properties will return, so we recommend allowing the surface to dry properly before using it.

Tenura self-adhesive non-slip reels are 1m x 20cm giving you a large amount of material to work with for your money. Non-slip reels are 0.5mm thick and available in blue.

Tenura self-adhesive non-slip reels can be purchased directly through our website. You can get free shipping on all Tenura products by spending over £50 or more!

Should you have any questions or queries about Tenura self-adhesive non-slip reels, please contact the sales team via phone or alternatively, complete the contact form and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Grips Aids for Tools for General Maintenance and Repair Work

There are tonnes of tasks in the workplace and home which require the use of spanners, wrenches, screwdrivers, and many other tools, to tighten or loosen parts effectively, and a secure grip can often be necessary. These tasks can become pretty tricky for those with physical impairments or when an incredibly stiff bolt, nut, or screw doesn’t want to budge. We think Tenura anti-slip grip strips and rolls would work flawlessly as grip aids for tools. By using grip strips, or cutting strips from a Tenura anti-slip roll and wrapping these around the handles of tools such as spanners, screwdrivers and pliers, you can dramatically increase the grip and comfort you have on them. This modification makes light work when using tools to twist, turn or lever to get tight or rusted nuts, bolts or screws loose and allows you to continue the maintenance of any machinery or appliance.

Stiff oil caps can also be a nightmare when trying to do routine maintenance on the car at home or in a garage. Without the use of a tool or protective layer, these can be hard to get off by hand. However, we thought about how this cap would fit nicely in our jar openers! By using Tenura jar openers on stiff caps and tops, you can effectively screw them open or closed without any pain or discomfort. Tenura silicone has grip-enhancing properties helping you to grip caps to remove them without putting stress and strain through your joints and muscles. Tenura jar openers are also very resistant to heat, allowing them to withstand temperatures of up to 250°C, making them ideal for use on warm or hot car parts.

 

Tenura Non-Slip Fabric for Kneeling/­Support

Kneeling on hard surfaces, while not only extremely uncomfortable to the point of being painful, could potentially cause long term damage to your knees. Tenura non-slip fabric is an ideal way to prevent this. By doubling over Tenura non-slip fabric, it will provide a comfortable cushion for you to work on without the worry of potential long term damage to your knees. Tenura’s non-slip material is not only soft but non-slip, so it will not move when you do in most cases and will keep your tools in position until you need them. It also raises them from the floor and keeps them away from deep puddles of water, oil, or any other liquids. Non-slip material is also perfect when lying on the floor during maintenance to increase comfort and help extend the time you can spend working in a horizontal position. Tenura non-slip fabric, in most cases, is also easily washed, meaning it can be used again and again without the danger of contamination.

By using the Tenura jar opener as well as Tenura grip strips and non-slip roll and non-slip fabric, you can carry out car maintenance more comfortably and efficiently. You can make tasks in all areas of life much more convenient, and prevent potential damage and injury at the same time.

Cutlery grips are a handy addition to day-to-day life. They provide an enhanced surface area around cutlery, pens, pencils, toothbrushes and many other items, making them easier to use during daily tasks and much easier and more comfortable to hold. Tenura daily living aids are perfect for those who suffer from impairments to strength of grip as increasing the surface area reduces the amount of grip required, helping to decrease pain and strain on joints and muscles. However, these products are for adults, and their size may be cumbersome for children to use and hold.

This query presented a big problem for us as to how good are cutlery grips if they can’t cater to everybody’s needs? The solution brought us to the new product we are announcing today: Tenura children’s cutlery grips.

Tenura children’s cutlery grips are produced in the same way as our adult cutlery grips, but on a smaller scale, to be more accessible for smaller hands. Tenura children’s cutlery grips allow children who struggle with cutlery to gain a much more comfortable grip. Tenura children’s cutlery grips are 98mm in size and weigh only 45g per unit. This is a lot lighter than our adult ones to make them easier for smaller hands to handle and use. Cutlery grips are made from an antimicrobial silicone designed to be durable and easily washed, preventing the harbouring and spread of bacteria on utensils we come into contact with every day, helping to protect parents and children.

Tenura children’s cutlery grips can be applied with ease, slide the handle onto your knife, fork, pen or other small utensils, and it’s ready to go. Tenura children’s cutlery grips can be washed by hand or via dishwasher. Being dishwasher safe makes washing cutlery grips easy for big charities or organisations who see a large turnaround of people and don’t have time to clean everything by hand. You can use Tenura kid’s cutlery grips again and again whilst maintaining a good standard of hygiene.

Tenura children’s cutlery grips come in three vibrant colours; red, blue, and grey and come in packs of two. Cutlery grips can be purchased directly through our website.

All orders to the value of £50 or more will be sent free of charge within mainland UK. Should you have any questions or queries about Tenura cutlery grips, please use the contact us form on the site, we are more than happy to help.

Disabilities and impairments can affect people in many different ways. However, one of the hardest to cope with is full to near full-body paralysis, cerebral palsy, or other disabilities and impairments, which can affect anyone at any time from developmental problems or an unfortunate accident. At this point, communication with the outside world can become very difficult, and most tasks are impossible. However, innovative science and technology advances have shown how tablets and specialist software can be created and used to help these people share their voices.

An excellent example of assistive technology in use would be Stephen Hawking. Stephen Hawking, as we all know, was diagnosed and suffered from Motor Neurone or Lou Gehrig’s disease. This disease affects your nerves in the brain and spinal cord, making messages sent to muscles, unable to get through, leaving muscles to waste away and weaken. Without Stephen Hawking’s Intel programmed voice system, his brilliant mind would have been lost to everyone but himself, leaving him without communication.

Stephen Hawking is a very extreme situation where technology is in use to create an effective communication system, but it paints a picture of how vital it can be. Now a simple app can turn tablets, iPads, and smartphones into a learning and communication method. However, in all situations, pessimists can see the ways this could be ruined or compromised, causing damage and despair to those involved. Yes, that’s right, we are talking about the dreaded and inevitable drop of an iPad or tablet!

Unfortunately, no one is safe from this event. It is one of terror and shock when you see your beloved smart device heading for the floor. Unfortunately, for those who are physically disabled, this may mean they are without an effective communication or entertainment method for some time, leaving them very much isolated. Through some brainstorming in our offices and working in the disability aids market, we think we have a brilliant idea to help prevent this from happening.

Tenura Extreme grip mats are a high-tack PU (polyurethane), preventing all movement from objects resting on its surface. We have seen this material used in motor homes, caravans, cars and even in clinical trials to prevent beakers and glasses from moving around or spilling. We believe that Tenura Extreme, if applied to tablets, smartphones or brackets, will create a significant hold, helping to stop potential falls by providing a solid grip. Extreme grip mats have been tried and tested to stop bowls and plates from moving at very steep angles and leave no residue upon removal. Tenura Extreme mats can also be washed with ease and will regain its tacky surface once dry, allowing the use of Tenura Extreme grip again and again.

We do not recommend applying your phone or tablet directly to a Tenura Extreme grip mat. Tenura Extreme grip mat’s drawback is the same as its benefit, its high-tack, grip-enhancing surface. We recommend applying a case to the Tenura Extreme surface to apply your phone or tablet on to, preventing damage of your expensive devices when removed.

Tenura Extreme mats are available in green or transparent colours. These colour options allow you to create a high-tack surface without detracting from the aesthetics of the surface you have placed it on, or as an easily visible marking solution thanks to its vibrant green colour. Tenura Extreme grip mats are an ideal solution to preventing all movement from objects in the home, on the go, or in a workplace.

Tenura Extreme grip mats can be purchased directly through our website. Spend £50 on our site, and we will ship your order free of charge.

Tenura non-slip fabric offers a soft and comfortable anti-slip surface, which is useful in many areas around the home, such as on kitchen worktops, the dinner table and under rugs and carpet, to prevent movement. Electricians, mechanics, daring DIY experts and any other professional tradesmen or women who require specialist tools but don’t want them moving around, potentially becoming damaged or lost, can also benefit from the use of non-slip fabric.

Recently, a very clever lady who works alongside us at Tenura came up with a brilliant idea. When driving in general, unless your boot is very small or pretty full, things will always slip, slide, and bang around. The moving objects may cause damage and spillages as well as be very distracting and startling when you are trying to concentrate on the road and other drivers. Tenura anti-slip fabric will help prevent this by allowing objects to sink into the material, enabling the material to form a non-slip grip around the base of the item. Tenura anti-slip fabric helps to prevent objects from sliding around the boot or bumping into others, causing possible damage.

Anti-slip fabric is a durable material that possesses strong non-slip properties, and you can cut Tenura fabric to size with just a pair of scissors. It can also be washed with ease and is completely waterproof, meaning any spills and stains with food, drink, and many other liquids will not damage the fabric so that you can use it again and again. The fantastic qualities of Tenura anti-slip fabric make this material very useful for areas exposed to water.

Tenura non-slip fabric is available in 50.8cm x 182cm rolls and the following colours; white, black and beige.

Spills and stains in day to day life are a constant annoyance and very easy to cause. They can lead to burns from hot food or liquids or create deep stains in furniture and fabrics, which can be very hard to remove. Unfortunately, for those with grip impairing diseases and injuries like Arthritis, the chance of injuries and spills and stains from knocking or dropping items is significantly increased. Not only will this be an inconvenience to try and clean, but it can be a tiring or uncomfortable task. Tenura anti slip circular coasters will help to decrease the risk of slips and spills by providing a stable non-slip surface to rest cups, mugs and more.

Tenura anti-slip circular coasters are made from a strong silicone material, which is durable, and high quality. Tenura coasters are antimicrobial, preventing germs, dirt, and bacteria from harbouring on its surface. Being antimicrobial means Tenura anti-slip circular work effectively in areas such as care homes, schools, hospitals, in the home and many other areas to help prevent accidents and injury. Tenura anti slip circular coasters help to prevent spills and stains by forming a strong, non-slip grip with any surface and any objects resting on top of them. This material has adhesive properties, helping to stop the material from moving freely. It creates many possibilities for the circular coasters; use as a mat, coaster, or non-slip surface depending on your requirements. Once removed, Tenura coasters will leave behind no residue so will leave no marks

Tenura anti slip circular coasters are part of our kitchen pack combination of daily living aids. Tenura products, by design, help with every aspect of the daily tasks people undergo by providing a strong, large non-slip surface. The anti-slip coaster is accompanied by a jar and bottle opener to allow jars and containers to be twisted open and closed quickly without pain or discomfort. With high-temperature resistance (dishwasher friendly and autoclave safe up to 250°C), Tenura coasters are perfect for resting chopping boards, mixing bowls and hot pans, and plates on.

Tenura also offers other types of non-slip coasters to help in daily life. Tenura moulded cup holders can be attached to the bottom of cups and mugs to provide a stable non-slip surface on the go or around the home. They can be detached, washed, and re-applied at your convenience. Tenura anti-slip square coasters come in a pack of 4, designed to help prevent spills and stains from glasses, cups, mugs and cans by creating a strong non-slip grip with the surface they have been applied to, allowing little to no movement from any object resting on its surface.

Disabilities and Impairments can make everyday tasks much harder. From operating door handles and preparing and cooking food, these tasks can be tiring and genuinely hard to accomplish. Tenuras wide range of daily living aids have been designed to attempt to make these general tasks as easy as possible for people suffering from such impairments and disabilities. Tenura anti-slip grip strips are one such product. This material offers a versatile non-slip grip, which can be applied almost anywhere. We have seen anti-slip grip strips used in many creative ways to make general tasks much easier. This material can be applied almost anywhere and will hold strong around the object it has been wrapped around without the need for an adhesive that could leave a residue.

Door Handles & Knobs

Door handles and knobs can be very difficult to grip and turn, for able-bodied and disabled people. Door knobs especially can be hard to grip due to their shiny surface. This can make going in and out of a room a harder task then it needs to be. By applying anti-slip grip strips, you can create an effective way to make turning door handles and knobs much easier. Simply wrap the grip strip around the door knob covering the majority of its surface. This will make it easier to grip and make going in and out of rooms a simple process once again.

Pots and Pans

Pans, pots and woks can also be difficult to move in any area. Spills and stains can cause injuries and expensive damage. It can cause a mess or severe injury depending on temperatures and the amount of liquid spilt. A non-slip material is an excellent way to help decrease the chances of clumsy mistakes and makes any object easier to hold and move. This materials thin finish will allow you to create a strong non-slip grip without increasing the bulk of the surface area too much. Tenura anti-slip grip strips are highly heat resistant, meaning they can survive on a pan, pot or wok for as long as you need them to.

Cups & Glasses

We all love a good cup of tea, coffee, or fresh juice in the morning, it’s an excellent start to a day and can help wake you up. One thing you never want to accompany your early morning brew is an early morning mess. A slip of the hand or a clumsy mistake while carrying or moving your cup can easily lead to breakages, nasty spills and stains, or injuries. This will all need cleaning or mopping up which isn’t easy for some people. Tenura anti-slip grip strips can help to make a mug, cup or glass much easier to hold onto and decrease the chances of nasty spills, stains and injuries. By wrapping the material around the cups handle, you can minimise the chances of loss of grip as the material will ensure the handle has an enhanced grip.

Food Preparation

Anti-slip grip strips are also very useful to apply to cutlery, utensils and many other items used during food preparation. Preparing food on the chopping board can be a strenuous task for anyone and can lead to an injury very quickly. Anti-slip grip strips can help by creating a firm grip on the handles of knives, forks, spoons and the chopping board bases themselves. This contributes to improving the general grip of these objects and minimise the chances of slips that could lead to injury. One handed Whisking is now possible with anti-slip grip strips. By placing anti-slip grip strips under the bowl and around the whisk handle, you can increase control and comfort.

 

Another product, designed for cutlery handles is Tenura cutlery grips. Cutlery grips can be slipped onto many different kitchen utensils with ease. Once applied, this material will create an enhanced surface area, allowing objects to be handled and used efficiently, without the strain and discomfort some experience when trying to grip small or thin objects.
