Transport infrastructure projects are among the busiest applications for a commercial floor, subject to thousands of commuters in all types of weather conditions, frequently in a rush and often distracted.

Metz recommend highly slip resistant products like our Sicodur^® and MicroGRIP^® finishes for such applications.

Put simply, this is the level of slip resistance that can be reasonably expected to be sustained over the many years of a product being in service. Under some standard slip resistance tests, many products score an unrepresentatively high result when brand new, straight out of the box.

The risk to patrons of slipping on floor that is wet from a recent cleaning should be managed from the beginning by selecting a tile with the right amount of slip resistance. In a high traffic area, like that of a transport hub concourse, a P5 rated tiles that performed well after accelerated wear testing is ideal.

Metz carry stock of a large selection of our tiles in MicroGRIP^®. Most Metz architectural ranges of floor tiles can be produced in our custom manufactured MicroGRIP^® finish. MicroGRIP^® is not an applied treatment but a specific surface that is created as an integral part of the tile body, prior to firing in the production kilns. In most cases the production as a MicroGRIP^® finish has little effect on the decorative character of the tile, meaning that Metz MicroGRIP^® offers complete design freedom to select styles from across our tile ranges.

Metz Sicodur^® sets the benchmark in long term slip resistance performance. Sicodur® tiles commonly retain a P5 slip rating after 5,000 cycles of AWT. The extra thickness of 12mm porcelain provides higher durability of service in heaviest traffic areas. Commercial look speckled finish achieves a timeless appearance that masks the effects of years of wear.

Clean bathrooms play an important role in how facilities are experienced by the public. Metz porcelain tiles are non-absorbent and won’t stain. Our Sicodur^® and MicroGRIP^® finish tiles are highly slip resistant, allowing them to be wet cleaned without closing off the area to patrons. We offer complementary wall and skirting tiles to create a cohesive, high quality architectural finish that is both durable and offers a consistent user experience.

Most transport projects utilise their spaces to provide outlets that enhance the travel experience. Quick service restaurants have for decades relied on the performance and reliability of Metz porcelain tiles for their kitchens and customer service and dining areas.

These utilitarian spaces require the safety of Metz Sicura and Sicodur^® tiles for safe movement of goods and personnel without the glamour. Clean facilities, safe floors and durable finishes that are great value are just the ticket.
