Design & Specification Notes
Dense porcelain tiles for bathroom and kitchen wet zones, combining low water absorption with robust slip resistance and easy cleaning.
Typical Uses
- •Wet areas
- •Durable floors
- •Wall tiling
Key Performance
Durable surface for daily wear.
Watch For
- •Slip risk if wrong texture selected
Specify tested wet slip resistance and verify with project mock-up.
- •Grout staining in high-use wet areas
Use suitable grout system and maintenance protocol aligned to occupancy.
Specification Actions
- •Provide EPD and declaration of kiln energy source for selected porcelain ranges.
- •Verify slip resistance class (R/pendulum), water absorption, and stain resistance for intended wet-area use.
- •Detail movement joints and modular layouts so damaged tiles can be selectively replaced rather than full-room renewal.
Indicative Health & Indoor Air
Inert finish with no off-gassing once installed. Verify grout and sealant as low-VOC for enclosed bathrooms.
