First of all, what is slip resistance?
Slip resistance may be simple and obvious, but you must understand slip resistance well for your bathroom tiles and how it will work for you. Slipping and tripping are responsible for one in three non-fatal injuries. With spillages being a common health risk, especially in bathrooms, your flooring professional or salesperson must ensure that all their flooring fits your purpose. At Aurees Tiles, you can rest assured that we have a slip-resistant bathroom tile solution for you.
A slip-resistant tile has a specific purpose: to prevent slipping. These tiles range from everyday residential use to commercial environments.
Slip Resistance Ratings
When it comes to slipping resistance, the ratings correspond with either footwear or barefoot slip resistance measures.
Barefoot: Wet flooring in home areas, such as bathroom tiles, goes through testing with bare feet. From here, it is rated from A (the lowest) to C (the highest). Australian standards state that swimming pool surfaces should have a B rating, whereas bathroom tiles should have a C rating.
Other tiled areas, such as commercial kitchens, are tested using footwear. It measures the slip rating when in contact with shoes and common causes of slips in the home, such as soap, grease, and water.
