Shiny versus Matte, Glazed
versus Unglazed, Wet versus Dry, Light versus Dark, Rough versus
Smooth, Hard versus Soft… there’s many things to consider when
trying to better understanding ceramic tile.
There are many myths concerning slip-resistance of different
surfaces.
It is often thought that a matte glazed surface will be
slip-resistant. This is not true. Even rough glazed tiles can be
slippery when wet, if not treated with the ‘Safe Solution®’
anti-slip treatment.
Everyone wants easy-clean tiles but they are willing to trade
some of the ease of cleaning for greater slip-resistance and
safety. Even to buy a slip-resistant tile initially is to trade
some of this ease of cleaning.
