Schneppa Glass™ is Australia’s trusted supplier of 100% recycled Australian coloured glass for polished concrete floors, benchtops, pathways, pool surrounds, polished concrete, exposed aggregate and driveways.
Stunning Concrete Finishes with Vibrant Coloured Glass
Coloured glass is a strong and reliable decorative material made from recycled glass. It is designed for polished concrete, exposed aggregate, landscaping, and other surface finishes. Each piece of 100% recycled Australian coloured glass is tumbled for safer handling. It is then coated and UV-protected to help the colour stay bright over time.
With 19 standard colours and a tough polyurethane coating, this coloured glass aggregate delivers long-lasting results. The glass chips create sparkle and light depth in both home and commercial projects.

DIY Coloured Glass Ideas Showcase
Coloured Glass transforms everyday surfaces into vibrant, design-led features with depth, clarity, and lasting visual impact. In concrete benchtops, it creates a refined, jewel-like finish that catches the light; in polished concrete and exposed aggregate, it reveals striking colour flecks that add texture and movement underfoot; and when used as coloured glass mulch or in landscaping, it delivers bold, low-maintenance ground cover that stands out in any outdoor setting.
