Module 1 · Read the numberSample
Will this tile work here?
Every tile data sheet lists a wet DCOF: a measure of grip when the floor is wet. Pick where the tile is going, enter that number, and see what to do next.
Step 1 · Where is it going?
Step 2 · Wet DCOF from the data sheet
Step 3 · What it means
Higher is not always better: too much texture can cause trips, trap wheels, and resist cleaning. Categories and the 0.42 reference: ANSI A326.3, as summarized by Crossville. A lab number on a new tile is not the same as the installed floor; test it after installation.
