P.E.I. rating measures Tile design durability from 1-5:
The Dynamic Coefficient of Friction is a rating of the slip resistance of a floor. It is a measurement of how much friction there is on a floor when walked upon. The higher the number, the more slip resistant.
<.42Though absorption rate may vary, product rated greater than 0.5% is not recommended for outdoor installation, but can be used indoors. All tile is recommended for interior use.
Less than 0.50 percentMost manufacturers use the MOHS scale to test the scratch and abrasion resistance of the glaze applied to tile. The MOHS scale is based on a relative value of 1-10; with 1 being the softest and 10 being the hardest. The following are the ten standard minerals used in the scale. 1. Talc, 2. Gypsum, 3. Calcite, 4. Fluorite, 5. Apatite, 6. Orthoclase, 7. Quartz, 8. Topaz, 9. Corundum, 10. Diamond.
