Ten Terms, Defined Properly.
The vocabulary on every quote and TDS, in plain language. Each definition stands alone, so you can send the link instead of explaining on call.
R10 slip rating
The R scale measures grip on an inclined, oiled surface. R10 is our standard across all floor series.
PEI rating
PEI classes I to V measure glaze wear resistance under abrasion. Class IV covers most commercial floors.
Sintered stone
Mineral powder pressed and fired to near-zero porosity, produced in slab formats up to 1600x3200mm.
Large-format porcelain
Porcelain tile in sizes from 600x1200 upward, balancing visual continuity with standard tiling methods.
Rectified edge
Tile edges mechanically cut after firing to exact size, allowing grout joints as tight as 2mm.
Digital glaze
Inkjet-printed surface decoration that gives porcelain the veining and texture of natural stone.
Shade variation
The V1 to V4 scale describing how much tone and pattern differs between tiles in one series.
Water absorption
Percentage of water a tile body absorbs. Under 0.5 percent defines porcelain and enables outdoor use.
Mitred edge
