2. Vinyl composition tile - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinyl_composition_tile

   Vinyl floor tiling. Vinyl composition tile (VCT) is a finished flooring material used primarily in commercial and institutional applications. Modern vinyl floor tiles and sheet flooring and versions of those products sold since the early 1980s are composed of colored polyvinyl chloride (PVC) chips formed into solid sheets of varying thicknesses (1 ⁄ 8 in or 3.2 mm is most common) by heat and ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flooring

   Resilient flooring includes many different manufactured products including linoleum, sheet vinyl, vinyl composition tile (VCT) [dubious – discuss], cork (sheet or tile), and rubber. Vinyl flooring is available in large sheets or pre-cut tiles; the former is resilient. Some come with a pre-applied adhesive for peel-and-stick installation ...

4. Sustainable Slip Resistance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sustainable_Slip_Resistance

   Sustainable Slip Resistance is a particular floor friction testing method and selection criteria for use in choosing and sourcing slip-resistant flooring that maintains good tribological characteristics over its life cycle to minimize slip and fall accidents. Testing floors before and after they are in place on a property can assure a building ...

5. Sheet vinyl flooring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheet_vinyl_flooring

   Sheet vinyl flooring should be allowed to rest in the room it will be installed in, to avoid having to make multiple cuts as it relaxes. Any unevennesses in the subfloor will show through the sheet flooring, so they must be smoothed in advance. Bathtub floors may join the sheet flooring to the wall after bending it up the wall like skirting-board.

6. Tile - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tile

   Stone tiles with a riven surface such as slate or with a sawn and then sandblasted or honed surface will be more slip-resistant. Ceramic tiles for use in wet areas can be made more slip-resistant by using very small tiles so that the grout lines acts as grooves, by imprinting a contour pattern onto the face of the tile, or by adding a non-slip ...

7. Floor slip resistance testing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floor_slip_resistance_testing

   To assess a floor's slip resistance, a reliable, thoroughly researched (in interlaboratory studies) floor friction test method must be used, and then a minimum safety criterion (0.42, 0.60, 36, etc.) is needed to apply to the results. Each different slip test device will have its own safety criterion. If the floor is likely to be lubricated ...
