Monolight

a property of a surface describing its ability to prevent slippage; one of the selected parameters is usually used to express this property:

slip resistance class according to DIN 51130 – R9, R10, R11, R12, R13

slip resistance class according to DIN 51097 – A, A+B, A+B+C

Coefficient of friction

the testing of this parameter is subjective and the result most often cannot be replicated; however, even with identical measuring conditions, it may be burdened with error; when choosing tiles, we should be guided by our individual perception of this parameter, and we should also consider the target location of the tiles; it should also be remembered that tiles with a higher coefficient of friction will be more difficult to keep clean.

The body of full-coloured tiles has a similar colour as their face, which gives the effect of a homogeneous product; both unglazed and glazed tiles can be full-body coloured; as a result, the aesthetics of the tiles remain intact even during their intensive use – a possible surface defect is not as visible as in the case of standard production technology; additionally, the fitting of full-body coloured tiles edge-to-edge gives a better visual effect.

physical resistance of tiles to multiple temperature changes (freezing and thawing); this feature makes it possible to use the tiles outside or in places where the temperature periodically drops below 0⁰C; this property is strongly linked to water absorption.

is a process of mechanical edge processing of tiles by grinding them to the required dimensions; rectified tiles can be laid without fear of dimensional discrepancies; maximum dimensional discrepancies between rectified tiles are limited to tenths of a millimetre.
