Indoor preferred — floor tiles are better protected from UV, dust and temperature extremes inside UAE buildings. |
Works best in residential or light-commercial traffic with regular sweeping and protection from abrasive grit. |

Exposed exterior floors, very heavy traffic and wet polished circulation areas. |

Slip resistance is irrelevant for fixed interior wall cladding. |
Dust routinely, wipe marks with soft materials and neutral cleaner, avoid impacts, and periodically inspect panel fixing and joints. |
