You may be familiar with Slip-Stop tiles, known for their versatility across various applications. However, it’s important to note that Slip-Stop tiles are distinct from anti-slip tiles. While both types aim to create safe environments by reducing slips, they differ in how they achieve this effect and in their specific applications.
One common method for testing a tile’s slip resistance is the pendulum test, which rates tiles from P0 to P5 (with higher ratings indicating greater slip resistance). Typical tiles usually fall between P2 and P3, meeting most health and safety standards (indicating a 1 in 1 million chance of slipping). In contrast, anti-slip tiles intended for outdoor use typically require a rating of P4 or higher, which Slip-Stop tiles achieve even in wet conditions.
Now, let’s explore the key differences between anti-slip tiles and Slip-Stop tiles.
