Do tiles tend to be slippery?

No tile is entirely slip-resistant. The likelihood of slipping and falling can be influenced by various factors, such as the building's design, any contaminants present on the tile, the person’s gait (whether running, walking, or limping), and whether they are children or elderly.

Most of our tiles come with ratings that indicate their level of slip resistance, which helps assess their risk of contributing to slips or falls. Therefore, it's advisable to consult with a tile retailer to determine the most suitable tile for your specific needs.

The responsibility for the proper application and usage of ceramic tiles lies beyond the supplier's control, making it crucial for end-users to manage the risk of slips and falls. Effective measures can include installing floor mats at entry points and in wet areas, positioning handrails to assist the elderly, and maintaining regular cleaning of floors to prevent the accumulation of contaminants that could lead to slipping.
