Test on “inclined plane“ Industrial andcommercial areas In canteen kitchens furniture, ceramic floor cover-ings offer decisive advantages: they arepractically indestructible, protect against accidents and are particularly easy to keep clean.Angle of inclination Floor coverings for commercially usedrooms such as canteen kitchens, butcher’s shops or workshops must satisfy particularlysevere requirements at the slip-resistance test on the inclined plane. Profiled floor tiles have displacementspaces in which waste can deposit, which otherwise would cause a risk of slipping. A person walking on these tiles furniture only touches the elevated zones.
