Good slip resistance is essential to prevent injuries caused by slips, trips and falls. This presentation looks at the common methods of measuring slip resistance for ceramic tiles. The seminar covers:- Slip resistance values- The ramp test and interpretation of results- The pendulum test and interpretation of results- The surface roughness test and interpretation of results

This CPD seminar gives a comprehensive overview of tiles and the key information specifiers need to know when selecting tiles for a project. It covers a brief history, the raw materials, and the different types of tiles available, key sustainability information and what to look for when specifying for sustainability, types of fixing methods, slip resistance ratings and how these relate to different types of projects, and the importance of Light Reflectance Values. By the end of this CPD seminar, delegates ought to know:1. An overview of tiles, including the history, raw ingredients, and the different types of tiles available.2. Sustainability, including EPDs, relevant eco-certifications, sustainable manufacturing processes, and recycled materials.3. Fixing methods, including adhesives, grouting and mechanical fixing systems.4. Slip resistance: the different types of tests and ratings, and examples of when they are applicable.5. Light Reflectance Values and its importance in design.

Sustainability is a central driver in design. As suppliers, it is our responsibility to help you make informed decisions.Our Sustainability Manager has created this CPD to give a detailed assessment of the climate crisis and the role that ceramics play in creating sustainable buildings. Successful participants will be better able to understand the products they are specifying, their carbon profile, and the impact they have.
