HOW IT WORKS
Tell us about the glass: where it is, how it is used and who walks on it. We match the product and P rating to the job.
Free product match by surface
The two-part polyurethane coating cures to a frosted finish with a fine, slightly gritty micro-texture. The grit is the grip.
Walk on it after 12 hours
On-site assessment and slip testing can be arranged for commercial projects. Keep the test report with your maintenance records.
We guarantee your treated floors achieve the P rating you specify on an independent slip test.* If they do not, we reapply to achieve it or refund the product price.
*Requires an independent NATA-accredited test within 48 hours of completion. Full conditions at stellmann.com.au/policies/terms-of-service.
WHY STELLMANN
Every benefit below addresses the specific challenges of glass.
Combines grip with a frosted finish that suits the design
Coat the whole panel, or use a dot pattern that keeps part of the glass clear
Slip resistance ratings from P3 to P5 under Australian Standard AS 4586
No etching, no weakening no impact on safety glass ratings or lamination properties
Frosted finish remains stable and consistent under extended sunlight exposure without yellowing or fading
The coating comes off with the Stellmann Coating & Paint Stripper and the glass is unharmed
Water-based, dual-component formulation ensures long-term durability without delamination from temperature cycling
Stellmann vs Adhesive Tread Tape: Tape looks temporary, needs replacing as the adhesive breaks down, and looks like a patch-up job. Stellmann leaves an even frosted finish that becomes part of the glass design.
Glass is one of the hardest surfaces to make slip-resistant without spoiling the design. Tape, strips and grit overlays look like a repair and need replacing as they wear. Stellmann adds a frosted finish with a fine micro-texture, and that texture is the grip. The glass looks frosted, not clear.
Commercial Architects: Designing office atriums and corporate lobbies where glass stairs are a feature, not a hazard
Luxury Hotel Designers: Adding grip to glass features with a frosted finish that suits the design
Heritage Building Managers: Checking whether a frosted surface treatment suits their glass
Residential Glass Companies: Adding grip to glass stairs and floor panels in homes
Municipal Infrastructure Planners: Installing or upgrading glass walkways

COMMON QUESTIONS
Straight answers about glass from the Stellmann team.
It looks like etched or sandblasted glass: an even, translucent white finish with a fine, slightly gritty texture. It's not clear. Light still passes through, but you cannot see clearly through it.
Yes. Coat the whole panel, or use a dot pattern that keeps part of the glass clear.
No. Stellmann's formulation bonds to the glass surface without etching, weakening or chemically altering the substrate. Tempered glass remains tempered, laminated glass retains lamination integrity, and safety glass ratings are unaffected.
No. The coating is UV-resistant and maintains its frosted appearance indefinitely, even on south-facing glass exposed to extended sunlight. The frosted finish does not discolour or degrade under UV exposure.
Yes. Unlike acid etching (which is permanent), Stellmann's polymer-based coating can be removed using specialised techniques if a building undergoes renovation or the glass surfaces are repurposed. This reversibility is valuable for heritage buildings and temporary installations.
