HOW IS SLIP MEASURED?

Coefficient of friction (COF) is the measurement of a tile's frictional resistance, closely related to traction and slipperiness. Both static and dynamic measurements can be taken. Static coefficient of friction (SCOF) is the frictional resistance one pushes against when starting in motion. Dynamic coefficient of friction (DCOF) is the frictional resistance one pushes against when already in motion. For SCOF and DCOF, a slip occurs when pushing off with more force than the surface can resist. That can happen when the angle of the force changes (e.g., pushing off harder while pressing down less) or when the floor surface becomes more slippery than anticipated.

While many tile products still show a "COF" value, many manufacturers have stopped reporting coefficient of friction per the ASTM C1028 method because the standard for tile floors has changed. There is now a >0.42 requirement, measured per the DCOF AcuTest℠, for level interior tiles that will be walked on when wet.

Slip Resistance may also be measured using a Pendulum Test.
Class 0: Dry indoor areas only.
Class 1: Dry indoor with slope less than 6 degrees.
Class 2: Wet indoor areas (e.g. bathrooms, kitchen, pool surrounds). Dry indoor areas with slopes or stair steps.
Class 3: Indoor areas where, as well as water, other lubricants are present that can reduce slip resistance (e.g. commercial kitchens, garages, industrial floors, etc.). External areas.

Shade Variation Rating: HIGH

While the colors present on a single piece of tile will be indicative on the colors to be expected on the other tiles, the amount of colors on each piece may vary significantly.”

This Crossville collection is certified carbon neutral through measuring embodied carbon (EPD) and purchasing carbon credits to account for what cannot be immediately reduced for the full lifecycle of this product line.

From 2014 to 2019, Crossville realized a 10% reduction in energy usage, demonstrating that a path of carbon reduction in our facilities and operations was possible. 10% reduction is just a starting point for Crossville. We can and will do more to create less impact on the environment. Not all impact can be immediately done away with, but we can take responsibility for our carbon emissions. In the near term, Crossville will support validated and reputable global carbon reduction and removal initiatives by purchasing carbon credits to offset impacts that we cannot immediately eliminate. Because we consider the carbon footprint of our tiles from inception through demolition, recycling or destruction – a true cradle to grave approach - our carbon credits do more for the environment.
