Goldfields House, located at 627 Chapel Street in South Yarra, is a prestigious commercial building. With high foot traffic, especially in the main entrance and elevator lobby, safety for visitors and staff is a top priority. However, the natural stone floors in these areas failed a recent slip test. Replacing all tiles would have been a significant cost. Our P3 Soft Non-Slip Coating provided a cost-effective solution.
Instead of replacing all the tiles, the building owner chose Stellmann Non-Slip Clear PRO P3 Soft. This decision helped them avoid the significant costs and downtime associated with a full tile replacement. By opting for our non-slip coating, they preserved the beauty of the natural stone while improving safety.
Stellmann Non-Slip Clear PRO P3 Soft is a premium quality, dual-component coating that seals the surface it is applied onto. While protecting the surface from stains, it provides an easy to clean P3 non-slip finish. The slip-rating is certified by CSIRO, making any surface complaint to AS 4663-2013.
Satin Non-Slip Finish
Our certified installer, Floor Compliance Solutions, applied the coating quickly and efficiently, minimising disruption to the building’s operations. Our non-slip coating has a satin finish, which does not change original appearance of the tiles. Therefore the building’s elegant aesthetics have been kept unaffected.
Our solution passed an independent slip-test after the application, confirming the floors now meet the safety requirements without the need for major renovations or a lengthy installation process.
The building owner appreciated the savings in both time and money, as well as the ability to keep the building operational during the application. With Stellmann Non-Slip Clear P3 Soft, Goldfields House now benefits from a slip-resistant surface that protects both its occupants and its design integrity.
This project demonstrates how our products offer practical solutions for businesses seeking to enhance safety without compromising on style or facing significant downtime. Besides a P3 Soft Non-Slip rating, Stellmann Non-Slip is also available with a high P3, P4 and P5 slip-rating. Therefore, our coatings can make any surface compliant while preventing slips and falls.
