DCOF Rating (See Tech Specs Tab) is a measurement of a tiles frictional resistance. It is the specifier’s responsibility to ensure the chosen tile is appropriate for each interior and exterior application.
The Shibusa Series is a porcelain tile inspired by the rich texture of bamboo. This series has a clean, linear look that offers a simplistic and modern appeal. Because this material is a porcelain product, minimal maintenance is required. It is available in five colors and provides an industrial and commercial aesthetic that is now available for residential installations as well.
For proper bonding, LHT/LFT mortar for large format and heavy tiles should be used when installing tiles with a dimensional length greater than 15 inches and rectangular shape and plank tile, per industry standards. Proper thinset coverage is also necessary, and in some cases, back buttering of tile may be required. Minimal chipping on the edge of the tiles is to be expected in mesh mounted products.
