With an emphasis on safety coming into home design more and more lately non-slip floor tiles are a fantastic choice! They’re designed with special textures that provide excellent grip, helping to prevent slips and falls in busy areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and entryways. Plus, they come in a wide range of styles and colours, so you can find the perfect match for your décor. With their durability and easy maintenance, non-slip tiles are a smart and stylish way to enhance safety while keeping your space looking great!
R Ratings
The R ratings on floor tiles are an important measure of slip resistance, which directly relates to the effectiveness of non-slip tiles. These ratings, ranging from R9 to R13, indicate the level of grip a tile provides underfoot, especially in wet or slippery conditions. R9 tiles have a lower slip resistance, suitable for most areas, while R10 to R12 are ideal for spaces like bathrooms and kitchens where moisture is common. We tend to recommend that any tiles used in an outdoor setting are at least R11 and above.
The R ratings are obtained from the manufacturer using method DIN51130. This is a shod foot test only. Barefoot ratings can be obtained upon request for areas like swimming pools and wetrooms.
Please note a tiles surface must be kept in it’s original state, modern household cleaners and general dirt can contaminate the surface and build layers that reduce the effectiveness of their surface.
