Faded Lines and Cracked Surfaces Compromise Safety

Step Safe Heavy Duty is engineered to solve these problems, creating a crack-resistant, high-traction surface with crisp, fade-proof markings that direct traffic and protect pedestrians effectively.

Why choose shieldcoat

Engineered for Australia's Toughest Conditions

A car park coating must withstand both intense UV exposure and constant vehicle abrasion. Our Step Safe system is manufactured in Australia for these exact conditions, providing professional applicators with a reliable, fit-for-purpose solution backed by a comprehensive 7-year warranty.

Extreme Durability for Vehicle Traffic

The heavy-duty, flexible acrylic resin formula is specifically designed to handle the unique stresses of car parks, including vehicle weight, tyre friction, and constant movement. It resists cracking and peeling, ensuring a longer lifespan for the surface.

Guaranteed Safety with a P5 Slip Rating

Pedestrian safety is non-negotiable. Step Safe Heavy Duty provides a P5 anti-slip rating, the highest classification, ensuring maximum grip in wet or dry conditions and helping property owners meet their safety and compliance obligations.

Vibrant, Fade-Proof Line Marking

Effective traffic management relies on clear communication. The system's superior colour stability means directional arrows, parking bays, and safety zones remain highly visible and won't fade under the harsh Australian sun, reducing confusion and improving traffic flow.
