Non-slip coating for tiles adds grip with no acid etching. Stellmann coatings carry CSIRO-certified slip resistance ratings from P3 to P5 under Australian Standard AS 4586. Do it yourself with a DIY kit or have a Stellmann Certified Installer apply it, in homes and commercial buildings.
What sets Stellmann apart: CSIRO-certified coating that doesn't damage tiles whereas acid treatments etch and discolour
Whether you’re a facility manager responsible for slip compliance across commercial surfaces or a homeowner looking for a reliable anti-slip solution, Stellmann has you covered.
Application by a Stellmann Certified Installer
Stellmann supplies the CSIRO-tested coating, and a Stellmann Certified Installer applies it. Ideal for commercial properties, strata buildings, aged care facilities, and any project where documented compliance is essential.

HOW IT WORKS
We assess your tile type (ceramic, porcelain, glazed), current surface condition and traffic patterns. A pH-neutral cleaner prepares the tile surface without damage, removing dirt and grime that would interfere with coating adhesion.
Free product match by surface
Our dual-component polyurethane coating is applied using techniques specific to tile surfaces, ensuring even distribution across grout lines and glazed areas. The application creates a nearly invisible micro-textured layer that bonds without etching.
Walk on it after 12 hours
Stellmann coatings carry CSIRO-certified slip resistance ratings from P3 to P5 under Australian Standard AS 4586: P3 for indoor bathrooms, P4 for outdoor tiles and commercial wet areas, P5 for high-risk zones. The glaze is not etched and the colour stays the same. On-site assessment and slip testing can be arranged for commercial projects.
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 facing tile surfaces.
No acid, no etching of the glaze
AS 4586 compliant with P3/P4/P5 ratings
Maintains the natural look of your flooring
Bathroom tile flooring safety ensures protection for elderly residents and children in slippery wet conditions
Most anti-slip treatments for tiles rely on acid etching, a process that chemically attacks the surface to create texture. While this adds temporary grip, it permanently damages the finish, voids surface warranties and typically degrades within 6-12 months.
Stellmann takes a different approach. Our dual-component polyurethane coating bonds to the tile surface and adds grip without etching the tile. The treated surface has a fine, slightly gritty micro-texture: the grit is the grip.
The result: a coating with CSIRO-certified slip resistance under AS 4586. On-site assessment and slip testing can be arranged for commercial projects.

MEASURED, NOT PROMISED
Independent wet pendulum results from sites we've treated, tested to AS 4586 / AS 4663 by accredited testing labs. Full reports available on request.
Results shown were measured after treatment by independent testing laboratories. A lab test result is one measure of a surface, not a guarantee of future performance in changing conditions.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Straight answers about tiles from the Stellmann team.
Acid treatments etch the tile surface, creating texture but permanently dulling the glaze, discolouring tiles, and typically failing within 6-12 months. Stellmann's polyurethane coating bonds to the tile surface without etching, preserving appearance and lasting longer with superior durability.
The colour stays the same. On a gloss tile the sheen can change slightly toward satin; that is the only visible difference most customers notice. Underfoot, the coating has a fine, slightly gritty micro-texture: the grit is the grip.
AS 4586 is a slip test, not a set of minimums. For indoor wet areas like bathrooms, we usually recommend P3.
