Metz MicroGRIP® P5 rated slip resistant tiles

Metz MicroGRIP® surface is a fine textured slip resistant finish formulated to Metz specifications and requirements. It achieves a P5 rating, the highest available for slip resistant tiles.  Metz MicroGRIP® is created during the production process prior to firing, so becomes an integral part of the tile (not a post production treatment).  Most Metz ranges can be produced in MicroGRIP® surface, however some minimum production quantities may apply.  Metz commonly holds thousands of sqm of MicroGRIP® finish in our Australian warehouses in many ranges and formats. MicroGRIP® provides an excellent balance between ease of cleaning and high slip resistance that performs under heavy traffic and provides excellent Accelerated Wear Test (AWT) results.

Accelerated Wear Testing is a critical slip resistance test criteria that involves the application of artificial wear conditioning of surfaces, as recommended by AS:4586:2013 and the Standards Australia slip resistance handbook HB:198. Many products exhibit good slip resistance when brand new, however such results can quickly decline to unsatisfactory levels. AWT provides an excellent predictive measure of how to differentiate between products that otherwise seem similar. MicroGRIP® is a solid performer under AWT and this durability is what sets it apart from many other surfaces.
