Microtec Tiles

The leading-edge microtec technology gives porcelain tiles a high degree of slip resistance combined with a surface that is still soft to the touch and easy to clean, since it has no superficial roughness. Microtec porcelain tiles also undergo a mechanical treatment across the entire surface which maintains their soft “feel”, combined with a high dynamic coefficient of friction (SRV). This coefficient measures tiles’ performances when their surfaces becomes wet. The New Zealand building code will often refer to an SRV classification of not less than 39 from the wet pendulum test method of AS 4586 for areas deemed to require slip resitant flooring. Microtect tiles blow this measure away with SRV values of between 50 - 60.
