Technical Information
Product Attributes
Floor Tile
Tile meets all criteria for use on floors; however, it may also be used on vertical applications such as walls, countertops and fireplace surrounds. See Abrasion Resistance, Coefficient of Friction and Frost Resistance for installation-specific details.
Wall Tile
Tile meets all criteria for use on vertical applications such as walls, backsplashes and fireplace surrounds. See Abrasion Resistance and Frost Resistance for installation-specific details.

Rectified Tile
Tile that has had all edges mechanically finished to achieve a more precise facial dimension.
Decorative Tile
Specialty tiles designed to enhance floor and wall tile when used as inserts, borders and special accents.
Trim Available
Various complementary pieces designed to finish edges of field tile.
Technical Attributes
Shade Variation V0
Very Uniform Appearance
Pieces of the same shade value are very uniform and smooth in texture.
Low Variation
Uniform Appearance
Differences among pieces from the same production run are minimal.
Medium Variation
Slight Variation
Clearly distinguishable differences in texture and/or pattern within similar colors.
High Variation
Moderate Variation
While the colors and/or texture present on a single piece of tile will be indicative of the color and/or texture to be expected on the other tiles, the amount of color and/or texture on each piece may vary significantly. It is recommended that the entire range be viewed before selection.
Random Variation
Substantial Variation
Random color and/or texture differences from tile to tile, so that one tile may have totally different colors and/or textures from that on other tiles. Thus, the final installation will be unique. It is recommended that the entire range be viewed before selection.
Frost Resistant
Industry criteria dictate that tile shall not exceed 5% water absorption to be recognized as frost resistant. To be recognized as Porcelain tile, the water absorption rate cannot exceed 0.50 % (impervious). Wall tile must not exceed 20% water absorption and is not frost resistant.
Abrasion Resistance I
Class I
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.
Abrasion Resistance II
Class II
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.
Abrasion Resistance III
Class III
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.
Abrasion Resistance IV
Class IV
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.
Abrasion Resistance V
Class V
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.
DCOF Wet Areas (Minimum 0.42)
Water, oil, grease or other fluids create slippery conditions. When installing floors in areas with exposure to these conditions, a minimum D.C.O.F. value of 0.42 is required. Additionally, extra caution is required with regards to product selection and proper maintenance. Visit www.tcnatile.com for complete information regarding the DCOF Acutest test method and values.
