European standard NBN EN 14231

This standard indicates the extent to which a natural stone limits the risk of slipping. The slip resistance of a tile has an effect on the comfort and safety of potential users, as well as on the cleanliness and general appearance of the floor. The level of resistance can diminish with time, as a result of wear, dirt, maintenance products, etc.
The slip resistance value is to a large extent determined by the surface finishing of the tile.
For applications where slip resistance is an important element, it is preferable to opt for a rougher finish. European criteria for this norm still need to be definitively established.

Brachot-Hermant has invested heavily in know-how. The Brachot Stone Expert Centre is unique in Europe. Our technical data sheets are evidence of our thorough knowledge of the properties of natural stone.
Each sheet contains detailed information relating to appearance, petrographic profile (if available), finishing options, technical specifications in respect of the above mentioned tests (if available), possible uses and recommended placement and maintenance techniques.
