AS 4586 Wet-Area Ratings
Commercial kitchen floors are specified to the higher wet classes; home kitchens typically target P3. Your free product match states the rating per area, and we certify what we treat.
Non-Slip Coating for Kitchen Floors
Kitchen Floors Get Wet, Greasy and Busy. Grip Is Not Optional.
Restaurant owners, kitchen managers and homeowners: kitchens combine water, oil and fast-moving people on smooth floors. Stellmann's non-slip coating for kitchen floors is CSIRO-tested and certified to AS 4586, grease-resistant, and easy to keep clean. Commercial kitchens are matched to the high wet-area ratings inspectors expect; home kitchens need everyday grip without a rough, dirt-trapping finish.
What sets Stellmann apart: grip that survives grease and daily degreasing. Many treatments lose their rating the first time the floor is properly cleaned.

What is AS 4586?
AS 4586 is the Australian Standard slip test: the surface is tested wet and given a P rating from P0 to P5, and the higher the number, the more slip resistance it has.
Why Kitchen Floors Are a High-Risk Slip Zone
Water, Oil and Pace: All in One Floor
Slips, trips and falls cause about 32,000 serious workers’ compensation claims a year in Australia, 21.8% of all serious claims (Safe Work Australia, Key WHS Statistics 2025), and hospitality kitchens are a classic source: grease film, wet mopping, service-pace movement.
Commercial Kitchen
A kitchen hand slips on grease-splashed tiles during the dinner rush, near fryers and hot surfaces. The WorkCover claim asks what slip prevention was in place.
Inspection
A health or safety inspection flags the kitchen floor's slip resistance and the operator needs certified remediation fast.
Home Kitchen
An elderly homeowner slips on wet vinyl in front of the sink.
School Cafeteria
A school cafeteria's grip tape peels within months and becomes a trip hazard for students carrying trays.
Every one of these is avoidable. Stellmann's coating reduces the slip risk and documents it, while surviving the conditions a real kitchen demands.

Kitchen Compliance at a Glance
Compliance is documented at the time of treatment and testing. We recommend periodic re-testing for commercial kitchens.
Work Health and Safety
Kitchen operators owe staff a safe floor. Slips, trips and falls are among the leading causes of serious claims (Safe Work Australia, 2025). Documented treatment is part of a defensible position.
Food-Safe Operation
Treatment is low odour, applied out of hours, and the cured coating is easy to clean and suited to food-premises floors.
Insurance
Documented slip resistance supports both premium discussions and claim defence.

Questions, answered
Kitchen Coating FAQs
What slip rating does a commercial kitchen need?
Commercial kitchen floors are specified to the higher AS 4586 wet-area classes, and inspectors want to see documentation. Your free product match states the exact target rating for your kitchen, and every treated area is certified at the time of treatment and testing.
Will degreasers and daily mopping strip the coating?
No. The coating is formulated to hold its rating under normal commercial cleaning regimes. The maintenance guide lists compatible cleaners; harsh solvent stripping is the main thing to avoid.
Can I apply it myself in a home kitchen?
Yes. The P3 kit is roller-applied and designed for a DIY afternoon. Commercial kitchens should use the professional service so the floor is certified and covered by the FEEL-THE-GRIP GUARANTEE* (terms and conditions apply).
Will the floor look different?
The finish is nearly invisible with a fine micro-texture underfoot.
How fast can a restaurant kitchen be done?
The coating is applied in one out-of-hours visit and needs up to 12 hours to cure. Most kitchens schedule treatment ahead of a closed day or a late start, and larger kitchens are staged in sections so part of the floor is always in service.
Will it change the look of a gloss tile?
On a gloss tile the sheen can change slightly toward satin; that is the only visible difference most customers notice.
