NOTES
Manufacturer Warning:
0.42 as measured by the DCOF Acutest method. Tiles with DCOF Acutest values less
than 0.42 are not recommended for use in areas with wet or slippery conditions. If such
tiles are used as a walking surface where water, ice, oil, grease and/or other substances
are present, such a condition could cause a reduction in foot traction and become
unexpectedly slippery resulting in a fall or personal injury. See ANSI standard A137.1
section 6.2.2.1.10, available at www.tileusa.com.
Special care should be taken when grouting with dark pigmented colors. A grout release
is recommended to prevent finely powdered pigments from lodging in the pores of the
surface. Use of a latex modified thin-set is recommended for installation.
For proper bonding, medium bed mortar should be utilized in installing tiles with a
dimensional length size greater than 20" x 20", large rectangles or tiles with greater
dimensional thickness than normal. Back buttering tiles of this nature in the installation
process will also assure proper coverage for bonding.
Since there are variations in all fired ceramic products, tile and trim supplied for your
particular installation may not match these samples. Final color selection should be made
from actual tiles and trim and not from tile and trim samples or color reproductions.
Manufactured in accordance with ANSI A137.1 standards.
Water, oil, grease, etc. create slippery conditions. Floor applications with exposure to
these conditions require extra caution in product selection. Not for use on ramps.

Polished tiles have a dynamic coecient of friction less than
MEDIUM (V2)
