| Kitchen Countertops |
Recommended indoors for kitchen countertops; exterior installation requires protection from direct sun, dust and temperature cycling. |
Moderate kitchen use, sealed counter, quick spill cleanup |
Residential kitchens, executive pantries, hotel-suite counters, modern preparation areas |
Not applicable — countertop has no pedestrian slip requirement. |
Clean spills promptly, avoid acidic cleaners and use protective boards and trivets to reduce etching and scratching. |
Modern kitchen worktops in residences and executive suites |
Outdoor countertops and acid-heavy kitchen use |
| Bathroom Vanities |
Indoor preferred; exterior bathroom vanities should remain fully covered and protected from harsh weather. |
Controlled vanity use with sealing and prompt cosmetic cleanup |
Executive bathrooms, hotel suites and dark contemporary vanities |
No meaningful slip requirement for bathroom vanity counters |
Wipe water and cosmetics quickly, use non-acidic cleaners, keep joints dry, and reseal the surface periodically. |
Well suited to contemporary bathroom vanities in executive bathrooms and hotel suites with controlled moisture and careful daily use. |
Avoid exposed outdoor vanities, high-abuse bathroom counters and areas where cosmetics, moisture or acidic products are routinely left standing. |
| Feature Walls |
Indoor use is safest; sheltered exterior feature walls may work in dry weather when protected from rain and prolonged sunlight. |
Best for low-contact feature walls with rigid backing, secure fixing and minimal abrasion or physical impact. |
Hotel lobby feature walls, executive office backdrops, villa living rooms and contemporary reception walls. |
Not applicable for vertical feature walls; slip resistance does not affect normal wall use. |
Dust gently, clean marks with pH-neutral products and inspect wall-panel joints periodically |
Contemporary feature walls for hotel lobbies, executive offices and villa living rooms |
Impact-prone corridors, flexible wall structures, areas exposed to repeated abrasion or feature walls where secure fixing cannot be maintained. |
| Stair Treads |
Indoor stairs preferred; covered exterior treads may suit dry climates with textured finish, drainage and sealing. |
Regular stair use with textured finish, firm bedding and routine grit removal |
Office staircases, hotel steps and contemporary villa circulation |
Textured stair finishing improves traction and reduces wet-slip potential |
Sweep grit regularly, damp-clean with pH-neutral solution and inspect tread edges |
Contemporary stair treads suited to offices, hotels and modern residential circulation. |
Factories, workshops and abrasive high-traffic stair routes |
| Fireplace Surrounds |
Best indoors; covered exterior fireplace surrounds may work in mild, dry weather away from direct rain |
Fireplace surrounds with secure fixing, indirect heat and gentle soot removal |
Contemporary lounges, offices and restrained grey fireplace surrounds |
No walking-surface slip concern for fireplace surround applications |
Dust frequently, remove soot with a soft cloth and use only non-acidic stone-safe cleaner |
Restrained contemporary grey fireplaces |
