Slippery when wet?

9 years ago

A reviewer says the tile is slick when wet. If so it wouldn't be appropriate for bathroom floors. Can anyone address this issue?

Hi Nancy,

Thanks for your question! This product has a C.O.F. rating between .60 and .79, which means it is required for commercial applications to meet or exceed ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) Guidelines and is skid resistant. Therefore, it will work great for a bathroom installation as it also has a matte finish.

We've had many customers install these on a bathroom or shower floor with no issues. The reviewer that mentioned the tiles being slippery when wet wanted to use them for an outdoor installation, so there may not have been enough physical texture on the tile for their project. However, a bathroom installation should be just fine.
