Anti-slip classes refer to the ability of a ceramic tile to provide good traction and reduce the risk of slips and falls, especially in wet or slippery areas.
These levels are classified into four categories:
No R or Class 0: These are mostly applied as wall cladding tiles. They are the least commonly used in flooring.
R9 or Class 1: Used in areas where the risk of slips and falls is low. They are usually tiles with a smooth, flat surface, suitable for dry, low-traffic areas such as the bedroom of a house, hallways, waiting rooms... i.e. flat surfaces.
R10 or Class 2: Used in spaces where the risk of slips and falls is moderate. They are usually tiles with a textured or slightly rough surface, so they are suitable for areas with occasional moisture such as wet areas of a house, kitchens and bathrooms. They are also suitable for sloping surfaces or stairs.
R 11 or Class 3: These are found in areas where the risk of slips and falls is high. They are usually tiles with a textured or rough surface, suitable for very wet areas such as showers, swimming pools or exteriors that may be affected by rain or snow.
