What is the non-slip tile surface on wet floors?

A tile surface that does not slip on wet floors is often called "anti-slip" or "anti-slip". These types of tile surfaces are specifically designed to improve safety in wet or water-exposed areas such as bathrooms, shower areas, poolsides, kitchens and outdoor use.

Non-slip tiles can generally have the following features:

Surface Pattern: Non-slip tiles often feature a special pattern or surface texture. This pattern can increase the drainage of water or other liquids on the floor and prevent slipping.

Surface Coating: Some non-slip tiles are coated with a special surface coating. This coating can create a water-resistant and non-slip surface.

Non-slip Classification: Non-slip tiles usually have a specific anti-slip classification. This classification is usually expressed by the "R" value. Higher R values provide greater slip resistance.

Material Selection: Some ceramic or porcelain tiles may have inherent anti-slip properties. This may be due to the natural structure of the material or achieved by a special process.

When choosing non-slip tiles, you must ensure that they comply with local construction standards and safety requirements. Additionally, it is important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations and choose tiles with a non-slip classification appropriate to the area of use.
