DCOF rating is a measurement of a tile’s frictional resistance. It is the specifier’s responsibility to ensure the chosen tile is appropriate for each interior and exterior application.
The Metalwood series is a rectified color body porcelain which has a subtle metallic striation design on the face of the tile. This series adds a beautiful textural aesthetic to any design project. Also, it’s versatility in applications range from the most original building of modern architecture to the restoration of classic buildings. Metalwood is specifically designed with commercial applications in mind and suitable for dry, wet or humid spaces. In addition it is ideal for high traffic applications and can withstand significant physical-chemical stress. And because this material is a porcelain product, minimal maintenance is required.
Piece to piece variation in shade or color are inherent in all fired clay products; therefore, it is recommended to mix tiles from several boxes at a time during installation to achieve the best range of color. When mixing sizes within a series, shade, texture and calibration differences should be expected. This series is suitable for residential and commercial applications.
For proper bonding, LFT/LHT 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.
