Please checkout the following advertisement.
Customer asked me to check some tiles there thinking of purchasing.
This is the info I looked at.
Can you spot anything that doesn't make sense..

I took this from a tile store web site.


‘The majority of floor tiles these days are given an anti slip rating. This rating comes in the form of an 'R' value. The 'R' stands for 'ramp test'. This 'R' value ranges from R9, which has a small degree of slip resistance, right up to R13, which is the highest slip resistance. This 'R' value shows the degree of slip resustance the tile has.

R13 is the resistance recommended by many professionals for public wet areas such as showers in a changing room and pool surrounds, whereas R9 and R10 values are often used for domestic situations such as bathrooms and kitchens.’

So it has nothing to do with the quality of the tiles, just you might slip on your arse if you're a clumsy prat...??
