* These figures are typical properties achieved in laboratory tests at 20°C and at
50% Relative Humidity.

**The slipperiness of flooring materials can change significantly, due to the

installation process, after short periods of use, due to inappropriate maintenance,
longer-term wear and/or surface contaminants (wet or dry). Textured systems are
recommended to meet slip resistance value requirements for wet conditions and/
or surface contaminants (wet or dry) - please contact our Technical Advisors for
further details and specifications.
