THE REAL RISK

The Slip Risk in Aquatic Centres & Wet Recreation Facilities

Aquatic Centres & Wet Recreation Facilities environments present specific slip hazards that generic treatments can’t adequately address. Industry-specific contaminants, traffic patterns, cleaning regimes, and compliance requirements demand a purpose-built solution.

Patron slips on wet tiles walking from communal shower to change room

Fractured wrist. Facility faces public liability claim and council investigation.

Aquatic centre fails P5 wet barefoot compliance audit

Amenities block closed until remediation. Revenue loss and reputational damage.

Standard anti-slip coating degrades within 8 months from chlorine exposure

Facility must retreat at additional cost and disruption.

Every one of these scenarios is preventable with certified anti-slip treatment from Stellmann, backed by our Slip-Test Pass Guarantee.

Why Stellmann for Aquatic Centres & Wet Recreation Facilities vs Alternatives

Most anti-slip products used in aquatic centres & wet recreation facilities environments are generic, designed for standard conditions, not for the specific contaminants, cleaning regimes, and traffic patterns your facility faces. They degrade rapidly, requiring frequent re-application and creating compliance gaps between treatments.

Stellmann’s coating is purpose-built for commercial and industrial environments. Our dual-component polyurethane formula bonds to surfaces without acid etching, preserving your existing floors while delivering certified slip resistance that withstands aquatic centres & wet recreation facilities-specific conditions. P5 wet barefoot rated coatings that maintain aesthetics while delivering certified slip resistance in change rooms and wet amenities, no facility downtime required

The result: documented compliance, reduced liability, a Slip-Test Pass Guarantee, and performance that lasts years, not months.

TRUSTED RESULTS

1,500+ Australian Sites. Proven in Aquatic Environments.

From council leisure centres to private waterparks, aquatic facility managers trust Stellmann to protect their patrons, and their compliance records.

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.

James Harrington Facilities & Asset Manager, Metropolitan Aquatic Sports Centre

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.

Karen Nguyen Aquatic Centre Manager, Regional Council Leisure Facility

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 almost invisible, the P-rating is documented, and we haven't had a single incident in two seasons.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Questions Aquatic Facility Managers Ask

Straight answers from people who've treated aquatic environments across Australia.

Will Stellmann’s coating withstand the conditions in our aquatic centres & wet recreation facilities facility?

Yes. Stellmann’s coating is CSIRO-certified and engineered for commercial and industrial environments. It withstands the specific contaminants, cleaning chemicals, traffic patterns, and environmental conditions found in aquatic centres & wet recreation facilities facilities. Our Slip-Test Pass Guarantee means if your floors don’t pass a certified slip test, we retreat at no cost.

Do we need to shut down our facility for installation?

No. Stellmann’s technicians work around your operating schedule - overnight, between shifts, during maintenance windows, or on weekends. Most areas are walk-ready within hours of application. Your aquatic centres & wet recreation facilities facility stays operational throughout the entire process.

What compliance documentation do we receive?

Every treated surface receives a formal Nata accredited, P-rating compliance certificate to AS 4586. This documentation satisfies insurers, WorkCover auditors, food safety inspectors, and WHS regulators. We also provide maintenance guides and warranty documentation for your compliance records.

How long does the coating last in aquatic centres & wet recreation facilities environments?

Stellmann’s coating is engineered for multi-year performance in commercial environments, significantly outlasting acid-based treatments that typically degrade within 6–12 months. Exact lifespan depends on traffic volume, cleaning frequency, and environmental conditions. We provide maintenance guidance to maximise longevity.

What’s the Slip-Test Pass Guarantee?

If your treated surfaces don’t pass a certified slip test to the P-rating we agree upon before treatment, we retreat at no additional cost. This guarantee eliminates your risk and ensures documented compliance.

How is Stellmann different from acid etching or standard anti-slip products?

Acid etching chemically attacks your surfaces to create texture, permanently damaging finishes and degrading within months, especially in demanding aquatic centres & wet recreation facilities environments. Stellmann’s dual-component polyurethane coating bonds to surfaces without damage, preserving appearance and delivering certified slip resistance that lasts years. P5 wet barefoot rated coatings that maintain aesthetics while delivering certified slip resistance in change rooms and wet amenities, no facility downtime required
