Wet area use for Mosaics
Robbins® produces the Delicate Expressions 2 x 4 stacked mosaic and 1 x 6 stacked Mosaics with the Cross-Sheen (UPS) finish. The ANSI A326.3 wet Dynamic COF of Delicate Expressions
is ≥0.50. Their small sizes ensure frequent grout joints which provides traction and drainage. Robbins cannot control situations involving incorrect installation, improper slope to the drain
for elimination of standing water and poor surface cleaning.

This information is provided so that customers may make a realistic and informed decision when comparing Delicate Expressions to other tile products in wet area environment, such
as residential/commercial bathrooms, showers, and interior pool decks. Information listed here is subject to change.
