Non-Slip Glass Coating

Glass floor panels are increasingly popular and can create innovative spaces. However, they are prone to causing slips and falls, especially in wet conditions. The unique characteristics of glass, makes it inherently difficult to achieve the required level of slip resistance. Moreover, etching or sandblasting are expensive non-slip solutions for glass, especially when a pattern is required.

Non-Slip for Glass

The Australian Standards for Slip Resistance, AS 4586-2013, set rigorous requirements to ensure the safety of walking surfaces. According to these standards, floor panels must have a certain level of slip resistance, measured by the Pendulum Test Value (PTV). The challenge lies in finding a solution that can increase the slip resistance of glass without compromising its aesthetic appeal.

Conventional solutions for non-slip glass include etching (often called frosted glass) or sand blasting. A drawback is that it significantly reduces to possibility of light to travel through the glass. Furthermore, some of these solutions still not achieve the required non-slip rating. Some manufacturers offer textured glass floor panels as an anti-slip option. However, such glass panels rarely meet the Australian Standard for slip-resistance in an independent assessment.

Non-Slip Glass Coating

Swiss GriP Non-Slip has developed an innovative coating that makes it possible to create non-slip glass. Besides excellent durability and a range of slip-ratings, our coating has a minimalistic impact on the aesthetics of the glass floor panel.

Uniquely, our coating can be applied in combination with a custom template to optimise the transparency of the glass. Doing so, you can create non-slip glass that is almost 100% transparent. For example, our dot pattern is a popular way to allow pedestrians to see through the glass with minimal obstruction while maintaining a P3, P4 or even a P5 slip-rating.

Custom Non-Slip Glass Patterns

With your input, our designers can create custom templates that achieve a stunning non-slip pattern on glass. Besides our transparent non-slip coating we can also create a coloured non-slip pattern. Our advanced templates achieve sharp edges without bleeding, assuring the best aesthetics. Besides our dot or square patterns, unique designs are possible, including the incorporation of company logos.

Swiss GriP Non-Slip Glass

Swiss GriP is the global leader in transparent non-slip coatings, drawing on more than 25 years of experience in development and manufacturing. Our non-slip coatings have excellent adhesion on glass and we will make sure the surface will meet and exceed the Australian Standard for Slip Resistance (AS 4586).

Our coatings are completely transparent when applied to tiles, marble, and other surfaces. On glass, our coatings have a translucent finish. Unlike other non-slip solutions, Swiss GriP allows for 92% of the light to travel through.
