When enhanced traction is required, you can count on Safety Zone tile. It’s a modular option that features an embossed surface embedded with proprietary particles for exceptional slip-retardant performance.
The colors and patterns provide hiding power against scuffs, scratches, and abrasion, and our exclusive Fast Start factory finish protects the tile during installation and makes initial maintenance quick and easy.
MATERIAL: A composition of polyvinyl chloride resin, plasticizers, stabilizers, fillers, pigment and grit. Safety Zone tile shall have a nominal 0.020 in. (0.51 mm) thick pattern layer containing grit.
CONSTRUCTION AND COLORS: Color and pattern detail are dispersed uniformly throughout the thickness of the material. Color pigments are insoluble in water and resistant to cleaning agents and light.
NOTE: Darker-colored Safety Zone Tile patterns may be susceptible to scratch whitening.
