Class 0
Tile in this class should not be exposed to wear/traffic or aggressive maintenance practices and is generally used on walls. See Frost Resistance for installation-specific details.
|
 |
Class 1
Tile in this class may withstand soft-soled foot traffic, provided that dirt and/or other abrasives are not present on the wear surface. Class I tile should not be used in areas with direct access to the outside or large amounts of foot traffic. See Frost Resistance for installation-specific details.
|
 |
Class 2
Tile in this class may withstand soft-soled and some normal foot traffic provided the dirt and/or other abrasives are kept to a minimum. Class II tile should not be used in areas with direct access to the outside, large amounts of foot traffic, or areas exposed to abnormal footwear. See Coefficient of Friction and Frost Resistance for installation-specific details.
|
 |
Class 3
Tile in this class may withstand normal footwear and regular traffic, with some dirt and/or other abrasives present in limited quantities. Tile in this class may be used in light commercial installations with limited foot traffic and with no direct access to the outside including residential kitchens and hallways, with limited traffic from the outside. See Coefficient of Friction and Frost Resistance for installation-specific details.
|
 |
Class 4
Tile in this class may withstand heavier amounts of traffic with greater amounts of dirt and/or other abrasives present including commercial kitchens and areas with regular traffic from the outside. See Coefficient of Friction and Frost Resistance for installation-specific details.
|
 |
Class 5
Tile in this class may withstand constant foot traffic with larger amounts of dirt and/or other abrasives including airports, malls, and other commercial walkways subject to high volumes of foot traffic and constant traffic from the outside. See Coefficient of Friction and Frost Resistance for installation-specific details.
