What is a slip rating certificate and why does it matter?
A slip rating certificate confirms a tile has been independently tested for slip resistance under the AS 4586 standard — commonly required for commercial and public wet-area installations to meet safety compliance.
What does "through-bodied porcelain" mean?
It means the colour and pattern extend through the full thickness of the tile, not just the surface. This makes the tile far more resistant to visible wear, chipping, and heavy foot traffic over time compared to glazed tiles.
Are these mosaics suitable for pool surrounds?
Yes — the textured, slip-resistant surface combined with through-bodied durability makes them well suited to pool surrounds and other wet, high-traffic outdoor areas.
Do I need a specific slip rating for my project?
Slip rating requirements vary by application and local building code — check with your builder or certifier for the required R-rating (e.g. R10, R11) for your specific project.
