Johnson Tiles stays at the frontline of tile manufacturers in Australia. With a service record spanning five decades, the company has built an extensive range of easy-care tiling solutions, including wall tiles, floor tiles, and feature tiles. And Johnson Tiles continue to widen their horizons to service all types of domestic and commercial projects across the country, as well as for overseas clients.
Johnson Tiles solutions are manufactured from nothing less than premium quality porcelain, ceramics and other industry standard raw materials. The sophisticated production harnesses the latest in manufacturing technologies, to result in hard-wearing, aesthetically pleasing tiles. The high-performance tiles exhibit superb durability to deliver long-lasting performance. In addition, the finest tiles are rated for slip resistance in accordance with both the wet pendulum test and the oil-wet ramp test.
As the name suggests, the wet pendulum test is carried out by spraying the surface with water, after which a pendulum is swung across the plane during multiple readings to arrive at an average. And Johnson Tiles have performed with optimum results.
The Riverstone Charcoal Matt porcelain tile registered at 40, with a P3 rating, indicating low contribution to slip when wet with water. Similarly, the Waringa Vitrified Grey Micro Rock floor tile is classified as 45 with a P4 rating. Meanwhile, the Lorimer Pearl structured tile achieved a score of 53 for a Class P4 rating.
Oil-Wet Ramp Test
The oil-wet ramp test quantifies the R-rating, a widely recognised industry standard for determining slip resistance for tile manufacturers in Australia. Here is the performance of a range of Johnson Tiles based on the oil-wet ramp test:
- Lorimer Onyx Structured - R11 at an angle of 22°
- Lorimer Iron Matt - R10 at an angle of 14°
- Sorrento Charcoal Grit - R11 at an angle of 21°
- Waringa Black Micro Rock - R12 at an angle of 29°
All tests are conducted by Industrial Research Services, in compliance with AS/NZS 4586:2004 (Slip resistance classification of new pedestrian surface materials).
