PolyGlow™– Glow Stones for Concrete
Schneppa Glass™ is Australia’s number one trusted supplier of PolyGlow™ glow stones for concrete and vibrant architectural applications.
Create Vibrant Ambient Glow with Glow Stones for Concrete
PolyGlow™ glow stones for concrete are designed for both durability and visual impact. In simple terms, they absorb light during the day and release it at night, creating a soft glowing effect. As a result, your concrete surfaces don’t just look good — they become functional after dark as well.
During the day, these stones appear like high-quality crushed aggregate, adding texture and depth. However, once the sun goes down, the surface begins to glow, transforming the entire space.
In addition, PolyGlow™ stones are safe and long-lasting. They are non-toxic, non-radioactive, and built for outdoor use. Because of this, they are widely used across residential, commercial, and architectural projects throughout Australia.

PolyGlow™ Applications – Day & Night Impact
PolyGlow™ glow stones for concrete are designed to work in both daylight and nighttime settings. During the day, they blend naturally into concrete, giving a clean and polished look. Meanwhile, as light fades, they begin to glow, adding both visibility and atmosphere.
Because of this unique feature, they are ideal for a wide range of applications. For example, they are commonly used in pathways, driveways, pool surrounds, and polished floors. In particular, they are perfect for areas where both safety and design matter. Not only do they improve visibility, but they also create a premium finish that stands out.

Next, broadcast the PolyGlow™ stones evenly
Then embed the stones into the surface
Allow the concrete to cure as normal
Once cured, expose or polish the surface
Finally, enjoy the nighttime glow effect
This is a general guide only
Always consult your concrete professional for project-specific advice.
Charging Tips
For maximum brightness, allow PolyGlow™ stones to receive direct sunlight rather than filtered light.
On cloudy days, supplement charging with a UV torch or strong artificial lighting.
Darker areas may require longer charging times to achieve peak glow performance.
Avoid heavy surface coatings that block UV light, as this can reduce overall illumination strength.
Regularly clean surface area to allow optimal light absorbtion
