The Apollo Bay Hotel, a cherished destination in Victoria, offers guests stunning ocean views and excellent dining experiences. This vibrant hotel is part of the Australian Venues Group, which manages a diverse collection of premier hospitality venues known for their excellent service and high-quality facilities.

With over 200 hotels, restaurants and pubs, Australian Venues trusts Stellmann Non-Slip to provide slip-resistance. Recently, our customer DK Floors, one of our certified installation partners, applied Stellmann Non-Slip Clear to the front patio dining and bar area of the Apollo Bay Hotel. This project aimed to improve safety and enhance the functionality of these high-traffic zones.

CSIRO-Certified Slip-Resistant Tiles

Firstly, DK Floors applied Stellmann Non-Slip Clear PRO “P3 Easy Clean” to the general undercover dining area. This innovative coating ensures easy maintenance, essential for busy areas, while meeting slip-resistance requirements as outlined in AS 4663-2013. This standard governs slip resistance for existing pedestrian surfaces to help prevent accidents and improve safety.

Moreover, to increase safety on the stairs, DK Floors applied our P4-rated coating. This step ensured guests could navigate the stairs securely, even during wet conditions. The roller application process was straightforward and efficient, allowing for minimal disruption to hotel operations.

“We are really impressed by the easy rollability of the Stellmann Non-Slip coating”, remarks Dennis, owner of DK Floors. ”It makes the application process smooth and efficient. The trade pricing and priority shipping that Stellmann offers have also been game-changers for our projects.” Because DK Floors is a certified installer, the company benefits from receiving installation enquiries from Stellmann.

Why Stellmann Non-Slip?

Unlike anti-slip treatments, Stellmann Non-Slip does not damage the surface it is applied onto. Instead the durable coating creates a clear and UV-resistant non-slip seal on top of the tiles. In addition, our coatings are CSIRO-certified with a range of slip-resistance. For example, the “P3 Easy Clean” rating combines the benefits of cleanability and slip resistance. It allows quick cleaning with a simple mopping routine while still providing the necessary protection against slips.

Besides P3 Easy Clean, Stellmann also offer a P3 Plus, P4 and P5 slip-rating. Our P4-rated coating has been applied to the stairs at the Apollo Bay Hotel. It adds another layer of safety to areas requiring higher traction.

AS 4663-2013 sets standards for slip-resistance measurements, ensuring flooring solutions meet strict safety requirements. Compliance with this standard means peace of mind for hospitality venues like Apollo Bay Hotel, prioritising the well-being of guests and staff alike.

Conclusion

The Apollo Bay Hotel’s upgraded patio and bar area now feature superior slip resistance without sacrificing easy maintenance. Thanks to DK Floors’ expertise and Stellmann Coatings’ reliable products, the hotel remains a welcoming and safe venue for visitors.
