| Floor Tiles |
Good indoors; sheltered exterior floors possible with suitable textured finish |
Performs well under regular pedestrian use when properly sealed and protected from sand, grit and harsh chemicals. |
Performs well under regular pedestrian use when properly sealed and protected from sand, grit and harsh chemicals. |
Polished floor tiles may be slippery when wet; honed or textured finishes improve traction. |
Sweep sand before it scratches the surface, damp-mop with neutral cleaner and periodically inspect the need for resealing. |
Best for practical residential and hospitality flooring where regular pedestrian use and straightforward maintenance are expected. |
Wet polished floors and uncontrolled abrasive grit |
| Stair Treads & Risers |
Suitable indoors; sheltered outdoor stairs can work in dry climates with textured finishing and sealing. |
Best for staircase treads and risers with strong support, textured finish and periodic sealing. |
Villa staircases, hotel steps and coordinated treads-and-risers |
Stair treads need textured grip; risers have negligible slip relevance |
Sweep grit frequently, use pH-neutral cleaner and maintain textured tread grip and periodic sealing on both treads and risers. |
Best for coordinated stair treads and risers where a consistent stone finish creates visual continuity across the staircase. |
Avoid for polished wet stair treads, heavily exposed exterior stairs or installations where textured grip, sealing and substrate support are neglected. |
| Bathroom Vanity Tops |
Best indoors; exterior bathroom vanity tops should only be used in completely covered, dry locations protected from direct sunlight and rain. |
Best for vanity tops with moderate use, quick drying and routine sealing to protect the surface from toiletries and moisture. |
Suitable for family bathrooms, hotel guestrooms, residential powder rooms and practical light-toned vanity counters. |
No direct slip concern for bathroom vanity tops; promptly dry water around the basin and nearby floor. |
Remove water after use, clean toiletries promptly and maintain sealing around basin cut-outs and exposed edges. |
Family bathrooms, hotel guestrooms and residential powder rooms requiring a practical light-toned vanity for everyday use. |
High-use public washrooms and rough daily vanity service |
| Interior Wall Cladding |
Best indoors; exterior cladding should only be considered in sheltered, dry settings with proper sealing. |
Best for interior cladding with rigid substrates, secure fixing and low-impact conditions with gentle maintenance. |
Interior corridors, hotel lobby walls, villa living spaces and warm architectural wall cladding. |
Interior wall cladding presents no walking-surface slip concern. |
Dry-dust regularly, use pH-neutral cleaner and inspect cladding joints and mounting points periodically. |
Warm interior corridor wall cladding |
Avoid flexible substrates, high-impact corridors and interior cladding exposed to abrasive maintenance. |
| Fireplace Surrounds |
Indoor fireplace surrounds preferred; covered exterior use may work in dry, mild weather away from direct rainfall. |
Best for fireplace surrounds with stable support, indirect warmth and gentle soot maintenance. |
Living rooms and traditional fireplace surroundings |
Fireplace surround; pedestrian slip resistance not applicable. |
Remove cooled soot gently, use pH-neutral cleaner and avoid acidic or abrasive fireplace products. |
Traditional fireplace surrounds for welcoming rooms |
Unsheltered hearths and abrasive soot-cleaning conditions |
