HOW IS SLIP MEASURED?

Coefficient of friction (COF) is the measurement of a tile's frictional resistance, closely related to traction and slipperiness. Both static and dynamic measurements can be taken. Static coefficient of friction (SCOF) is the frictional resistance one pushes against when starting in motion. Dynamic coefficient of friction (DCOF) is the frictional resistance one pushes against when already in motion. For SCOF and DCOF, a slip occurs when pushing off with more force than the surface can resist. That can happen when the angle of the force changes (e.g., pushing off harder while pressing down less) or when the floor surface becomes more slippery than anticipated.

While many tile products still show a "COF" value, many manufacturers have stopped reporting coefficient of friction per the ASTM C1028 method because the standard for tile floors has changed. There is now a >0.42 requirement, measured per the DCOF AcuTest℠, for level interior tiles that will be walked on when wet.

Slip Resistance may also be measured using a Pendulum Test.
Class 0: Dry indoor areas only.
Class 1: Dry indoor with slope less than 6 degrees.
Class 2: Wet indoor areas (e.g. bathrooms, kitchen, pool surrounds). Dry indoor areas with slopes or stair steps.
Class 3: Indoor areas where, as well as water, other lubricants are present that can reduce slip resistance (e.g. commercial kitchens, garages, industrial floors, etc.). External areas.

Shade Variation Rating: HIGH

While the colors present on a single piece of tile will be indicative on the colors to be expected on the other tiles, the amount of colors on each piece may vary significantly.”

Sustainable

• The use of hybrid kilns that combine gas and electricity significantly reduces CO₂ emissions in the atmosphere.
• Laminam has led the way in installing a photovoltaic system on the roofs of its two Fiorano Modenese plants.
• Over the course of a year, this photovoltaic system produces approximately 1,050 GWh, enabling the company to generate 10% of its total energy requirements.
• In terms of CO₂ reduction, Laminam’s photovoltaic roof system eliminates the release of approximately 525 tons of CO₂ into the atmosphere annually.
• Laminam is a member of the Green Building Council Italia, an Italian association of manufacturing leaders working to transform the building market toward environmental sustainability and the creation of livable communities. GBC Italia partners promote environmental, economic, and social responsibility by innovating how buildings are designed, built, and used.
