QUARRYBASICS® X Colors – metallic additive
for Added Slip Resistance.
Description and uses. Metropolitan Ceramics' quarry tile with a metallic additive dispersed throughout the body of the tile for enhanced slip resistance. All of the features and benefits of the clear tone colors, designed for heavy traffic areas subject to frequent spills and moisture. The QUARRYBASICS® X Colors have a coefficient of friction of 0.9 dry and 0.7 wet, at time of manufacture, meet ADA guidelines as manufactured, and when properly maintained offer enhanced slip resistance for the life of the installation. QUARRYBASICS X Colors also have a distinctive "speckled" look that is appealing and helps hide dirt and marks. Because of the nature of the additive, X-Colors will perform best when maintained using the proper equipment. A copy of our maintenance guide is available from our web site, www.metroceramics.com. While the metallic additive makes the X-Colors the optimum choice for high traffic commercial applications with slip/fall concerns, the texture of the surface may preclude using QUARRYBASICS® X Colors in some commercial and residential applications.
