Stellmann Buyer's Guide — TradieCart
This guide helps you choose the right Stellmann non-slip coating for your job. Made in Europe and supplied from South Melbourne, Stellmann coatings go over existing tile, stone and concrete, making a slippery floor more slip-resistant without replacing it. Ratings run P3, P4 and P5 under AS 4586: the higher the number, the higher the wet slip resistance.
Product Range
| Product | Best For |
|---|---|
| Non-Slip Clear PRO P4 (15 m² kit; 30 m² and 60 m² Trades PRO bundles) | Our most popular coating. Clear finish for outdoor entries, walkways, balconies, courtyards, pool surrounds, behind bars and communal showers. No kit under 15 m² |
| Non-Slip Clear PRO P3 (1.2 m², 5 m² and 15 m² kits; 30 m² and 60 m² Trades PRO bundles) | Our second most popular. Clear finish for home showers, bathrooms and kitchens, interior stairs and entries, and commercial bathrooms. Easier to clean than P4, and the cost-effective pick for small jobs |
| Non-Slip Clear PRO P5 (15 m² kit; 30 m² and 60 m² Trades PRO bundles) | Top rating with a textured finish, for external ramps steeper than 1 in 14, undercover loading docks and commercial kitchens |
| Trades PRO Clear Starter Bundle (P3, P4 or P5; 30 m² or 60 m²) | Contractors and larger floors. Adds a 5 L cleaner, rollers, frames, tray, pole and mixing gear. Better value than several 15 m² kits |
| Aqualine PU PRO (12 kg kit; P3, P4 or P5; eight colours) | Coloured two-part polyurethane for concrete in factories, warehouses, commercial kitchens and stairs. Greys for general floors; Yellow, White, Blue, Green and Red for OHS floor marking (no Traffic Blue in P5) |
| Aqualine MA DIY (10 kg kit; Light Grey) | Budget-friendly one-part alternative to PU PRO for concrete with low to medium wear. Not for showers or bathrooms |
| Stair Nosing Coating (900 ml kit; Black or Traffic Yellow; P4) | High-visibility 50–75 mm strips on stair treads, over tile, stone or concrete. Primer and roller supplied |
| Primer Sealer Clear (1 L, 20 L) and Hardener Part B (2 kg) | Top-ups. Kits already include primer; add more for extra area or high-suction surfaces such as concrete and raw timber |
| Prep and Maintenance Cleaner (500 ml, 5 L), Starter Maintenance Kit (brush + 500 ml cleaner) and Coating and Paint Stripper (1 L, 12 L) | Cleaner for surface prep and ongoing maintenance. Methylene chloride-free stripper removes Clear PRO and other coatings |
| PRO Rollers and Tools (sleeves 10, 25 and 36 cm; holders 10 cm and 25–36 cm; pole; Starter Kits 25 or 36 cm) | Stellmann gives no warranty on finish or slip rating with other rollers. Use 10 cm for edges and stairs, 25 cm for kitchens and patios, 36 cm for larger floors |
Clear PRO kits are sized at about 72 g of mixed coating per m². Rough or porous surfaces and high-traffic areas use more. Larger sizes work out cheaper per square metre.

Common Questions
Should I use P3 or P4? — Go by location. P3 suits indoor wet areas at home and cleans with a mop; Stellmann says it is often the better choice for barefoot bathrooms and showers. P4 suits outdoor areas, pool surrounds and communal showers, and needs a microfibre cloth, broom brush or cleaning machine with a brush.
What sizes do P3 and P4 come in? — P3: 1.2 m², 5 m² and 15 m² kits. P4: 15 m² kit only. Both also come as 30 m² and 60 m² Trades PRO bundles. See the TradieCart website for current prices.
What else do I need with a Clear PRO kit? — Kits include Part A, Part B, primer and a roller sleeve. Add Prep and Maintenance Cleaner and a PRO Roller Starter Kit. Mix by weight on an electronic precision scale, wear gloves and eye protection, and follow the Safety Data Sheet.
Aqualine PU PRO or MA DIY? — MA DIY costs less and suits low to medium wear, with a P3 datasheet rating when Non-Slip Particles are added. Choose two-part PU PRO for high-traffic floors, safety colours, or P4 or P5.
Where should I not use Clear PRO? — Over faulty waterproofing, rising damp or high moisture, on water-repellent treatments, where acids or alkalis may spill, or where it will be permanently submerged.
Will the coating make my floor compliant? — A rating describes performance under stated test conditions; preparation, installation, cleaning and wear all affect the result. For commercial jobs, arrange independent on-site slip testing to AS 4663.
