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.
Pietra Italia is a rectified through body porcelain that emulates limestone. It provides a clean, natural stone looks to any environment. It is available in a variety of sizes and finishes for versatile design options. 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, medium bed mortar 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. Pietra Italia is available in two finishes: Matte Finish and R11 Anti-Slip Finish. The R11 Anti-Slip Finish is specifically designed for outdoor, exposed areas, as well as wet applications, including shower floors.
| TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS | NORM | EXPECTED LIMIT VALUES | TYPICAL VALUE |
|---|---|---|---|
| DYNAMIC COEFFICIENT OF FRICTION | ANSI A137.1 : 2012 | DYNAMIC WET ≥ 0.42 | DYNAMIC WET ≥ 0.42 |
| VISIBLE ABRASION RESISTANCE | ISO 10545-06 / ASTM C1243 | 175mm³ | 145mm³ |
| CHEMICAL RESISTANCE | ISO 10545-13 / ASTM C650 | REQUIRED | RESISTANT |
| FROST RESISTANCE | ISO 10545-12 / ASTM C1026 | REQUIRED | RESISTANT |
| WATER ABSORPTION | ISO 10545-03 / ASTM C373 | ≤ 0.5% | ≤ 0.4% |
| BREAKING STRENGTH | ISO 10545-04 / ASTM C648 | ≥ 250 lb/ft² | ≥ 400 lb/ft² |
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 above result is for the Standard Finish. The testing for R11 Anti-Slip Finish is static, which is different from the Dynamic Coefficient of Friction (DCOF) test which is a dynamic test. These two tests measure for different and separate results, therefore the DCOF test is not the appropriate test for the R11 Anti Slip finish. To be certified as R11 Anti-Slip Finish, a tile must pass internationally recognized testing.
