Slip-Resistant Outdoor Porcelain Tiles

Our outdoor porcelain tiles are available in a variety of finishes and whilst it is never possible to 100% remove the risk of slipping on any product. Our products not only meet the minimum requirements but exceed them.

There are also some other considerations to take into account when choosing your external porcelain pavers.

You will see R ratings on external porcelain pavers and whilst a perfectly valid test (R11) being the minimum you should look to purchase. The only test recognised by the HSE is the PTV test, for which you should be ensuring that the porcelain pavers are a minimum of 36+ PTV (Wet Shod Foot).

What is PTV?

PTV stands for pendulum test value, which is a measurement of how slippery a surface is – whether it is a floor or a pavement.

• 0-18 = very low slip-resistance.
• 18-25 = moderate slip-resistance.
• 25-36 = good slip-resistance.
• 36+ = excellent slip-resistance.

PTV Rating is the rating that is recognised by the HSE

What Is R – Rating?

Floor tiles are issued an ‘R’ rating to show their slip resistance. The ‘R’ stands for Ramp Test. The ‘R’ rating has a scale from R9 – R13, with R9 having the least slip resistance. R11 is the minimum you should look for regarding outdoor porcelain paving.
