- Exterior Wall ○ Exterior wall areas of buildings and houses (please consult us separately regarding soffits and ceilings).
- Interior Wall ○ Interior wall areas of buildings and houses (bathroom walls, kitchen backsplashes, toilet walls, shop walls and other relatively low wall areas. Please consult us separately regarding soffits and ceilings).
- Interior Floor ○ Interior floor areas that do not get wet (kitchen floors, indoor toilets, indoor shop floors and other areas walked on in shoes or slippers, where the floor is not exposed to rainwater or other moisture).
- Exterior Floor ○ Exterior floors of buildings and houses, and floors walked on in shoes that get wet or where rainwater is carried in (including interior floors such as building lobbies and house entrances). Please consult us separately regarding public exterior areas such as parks and pavements.
- Slip Resistance R11 A measure of the slip resistance of floor tiles. This site lists either the C.S.R. value or the DIN 51130 rating. Note on DIN 51130: the higher the R value, the less slippery the tile. In Europe, tiles rated R10 or higher are recommended for outdoor use.
- Frost Resistance ○ Indicates whether the tile can be used in cold regions and other environments where temperatures fall below freezing.

Pattern
The basics of tile design
Floor tile is not limited to laying one size in a repeating grid. Combining different sizes into a patterned layout, or working in accent tiles, gives a space rhythm and depth.
The way the tiles are combined changes the character of the space.

FAQ
FAQ
Q1. What kind of tile is a Class I tile?
It is the classification fired at the highest temperature, with the best performance in water absorption and strength. Within it, unglazed tile is fired without any glaze, so the material itself becomes the surface character.
Q2. What level of performance does a slip resistance rating of R11 mean?
It is a high slip-resistance grade that stays secure underfoot even on wet or sloped floors. It can be used with confidence in a wide range of settings, including entrances, shops, outdoor terraces, approaches, and floors outside the bath.
Q3. What kind of design is the terracotta look?
It reproduces the warm reddish, earthen tones of terracotta, with the plain simplicity and depth of a natural material. It suits many kinds of interiors, from natural and Mediterranean to resort styles.
Q4. Can it be used outdoors?
Yes, on both walls and floors. Porcelain tile has low water absorption, so it resists frost damage, and together with its R11 slip resistance that makes it especially well suited to outdoor use.
Q5. Is maintenance difficult?
No special maintenance is required. Porcelain tile does not absorb dirt easily, and day-to-day cleaning with water or a neutral detergent is enough.
Q6. Can it be used on bathroom floors?
Yes, on both walls and floors.
Q7. How long is the lead time?
This product is available while stocks last. Once stock runs out we cannot supply it, so please plan accordingly.
