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. 

GLOSS: (typical (typical value) 3 – 5, Light Reflectivity Chart: CLICK HERE.

REFERENCE SPECIFICATIONS:

Numerical flammability ratings alone may not define the performance of the product under actual fire conditions. These ratings are provided only for use in the selection of products to meet the specified limits.

STATIC LOAD LIMIT:
ASTM F 970*; 800 psi
*Testing at loads above 250 psi is outside the scope of the test method. Since testing is conducted on uninstalled flooring, results do not consider the performance of the adhesive, underlayment, or subfloor. These test results are not an indicator of the installed flooring system performance
