Non-Slip Performance | Bathrooms, Poolsides, Wet Areas | Industry: 0.5 COF (ANSI A137.1 minimum) ▲ Base: 0.6 COF (meets ANSI) ▲ Advanced: 0.7 COF (exceeds ANSI) | Reduces slipping risks in high-moisture zones | Advanced tiles may require specialized adhesive for installation |
Antibacterial Properties | Kitchens, Healthcare Facilities | Industry: No treatment ▲ Base: 99% bacterial reduction (ASTM E2149) ▲ Advanced: 99.9% (same standard) | Minimizes microbial growth on surfaces | Base’s efficacy may diminish without regular cleaning |
Wear Resistance | High-Traffic Areas (Malls, Entryways) | Industry: 500 abrasion cycles (ASTM C1028) ▲ Base: 1000 cycles ▲ Advanced: 1500 cycles | Longer lifespan in busy commercial environments | Advanced tiles are heavier, complicating installation |
Acid Resistance | Outdoor Spaces, Labs | Industry: pH 3–11 ▲ Base: pH 2–12 ▲ Advanced: pH 1–13 (ISO 105-E04) | Withstands harsh chemicals and environmental exposure | Base may corrode in extreme pH conditions (e.g., industrial spills) |
Application Versatility | Villa Exteriors, Indoor/Outdoor | Industry: Floor/Wall Only ▲ Base: Floor/Wall ▲ Advanced: Exterior + Interior (ASTM C67 frost resistance) | Flexible for both indoor and outdoor installations | Advanced requires sealant for exterior use to prevent moisture ingress |
Surface Finish (Glazed) | Modern Interiors, Accent Walls | Industry: Matte Finish ▲ Base: Glazed (800°C firing) ▲ Advanced: Double-Glazed (1000°C) | Enhanced shine and stain resistance | Advanced finish may show scratches more prominently |
Heat Insulation | Sunrooms, Kitchens | Industry: 0.5 W/m·K ▲ Base: 0.4 W/m·K ▲ Advanced: 0.3 W/m·K (ISO 8990) | Reduces heat transfer, lowering cooling costs | Advanced tiles are thicker, requiring deeper substrate preparation |
