HOW IT WORKS
How Our Professional Glass Coating Process Works
1
Architectural Design Integration
Before application, our team can collaborate with your architect or designer to understand the vision. We can discuss custom options that transform anti-slip protection into a visual feature rather than a compromise.
Usually completed within 48 hours
2
Precision Frosted Application
The dual-component polyurethane coating is applied using precision techniques to create the frosted appearance. The coating bonds to the glass at a molecular level, producing micro-texture that provides certified slip resistance while maintaining the glass's structural integrity.
Zero downtime for your facility
3
Full Integration & Compliance Verification
Your treated glass surfaces receive a documented P-rating (P3, P4, or P5) compliant with AS 4586. You get a certificate of compliance reducing your slip liability and giving you peace of mind. P-rating certificate. Warranty included.
Backed by our Slip-Test Pass Guarantee. Terms & Conditions Apply

Most facilities are fully treated and compliant within 48 hours of first contact.

Why Stellmann vs Anti-Slip Tape & Acid Etching
Stellmann vs Adhesive Tread Tape: Tape-based solutions look temporary require annual replacement as adhesive degrades, and create visible "band-aid" solutions that no architect would intentionally specify. Stellmann is permanent, nearly invisible as a separate product, and becomes part of the glass aesthetic.
Unique Angle: Frosted Finish as Design Feature: Dano Estermann specifically noted that glass anti-slip coating produces a frosted appearance (not transparent). Rather than hiding this, Stellmann positions it as an architectural advantage: architects can integrate anti-slip protection directly into design intent, creating privacy visual interest, and safety.
Who Needs Anti-Slip Coating for Glass?
Glass is one of the most aesthetically demanding surfaces to make slip-safe. Traditional solutions, adhesive tread tape, applied strips abrasive overlays, compromise the architectural vision and require ongoing maintenance as adhesive fails or abrasive coatings wear. Stellmann delivers something architects and designers have requested for decades: certified slip safety on transparent glass without sacrificing visual continuity. The frosted finish is not an accident, it's the engineered result of a dual-component coating that creates micro-texture at the molecular level, delivering consistent traction while maintaining the glass's structural and optical integrity.
Commercial Architects: Designing office atriums and corporate lobbies where glass stairs are a feature, not a hazard
Luxury Hotel Designers: Requiring safety on glass features without visible modifications or ongoing maintenance
Heritage Building Managers: Needing slip safety on historical glass elements that cannot be modified with overlays
Residential Glass Companies: Offering upgraded shower screens, deck panels and internal balcony railings with safety included
Municipal Infrastructure Planners: Installing or upgrading glass walkways, heritage glass features and public artistic glass installations

"We'd used another provider before, the coating degraded within nine months and the change room tiles looked worse for it. Stellmann was different from the start: they tested our specific surfaces before quoting, scheduled the treatment across two overnight sessions, and our wet areas were open for morning training the next day. The AS 4586 P5 certificate was on my desk within the week."
P5 certified · Zero patron disruption
"I'll be honest, I was concerned about the Slip-Test Pass Guarantee sounding too good to be true. But when Stellmann came back a month after treatment and conducted an independent slip test, the results spoke for themselves. P5 wet barefoot across all treated surfaces. That documentation has already been used to satisfy our insurer and close out a WHS audit."
Independent test confirmed P5 — WHS audit closed
"Our outdoor concrete surrounds were a major liability - wet, barefoot, high traffic. We looked at replacement (prohibitively expensive) and grip tape (looks terrible and peels). Stellmann coated 1,200m' of pool surrounds and amenity surfaces over four nights. The finish is invisible, the P-rating is documented, and we haven't had a single incident in two seasons."

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers from people who've treated glass surfaces across Australia.
What does the frosted finish look like?
The frosted finish resembles professionally etched or sandblasted glass, a uniform translucent whiteness that maintains optical clarity while adding texture. The appearance is permanent and professional integrated into the glass rather than sitting on top. Many architects appreciate the frosted aesthetic as a design feature that also provides safety.
Can custom patterns be applied to the glass?
Yes. The anti-slip protection is applied uniformly, but the frosted visual effect can be customised to create patterns that integrate safety into the architectural vision.
Does the coating compromise the glass's structural rating?
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.
Will the frosted finish yellow or fade over time?
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.
Can the frosted coating be removed if future modifications are needed?
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. Get a Free Glass Assessment Ready to add certified slip safety to your glass?
