Performance-Tested for Demanding Environments
The Aldridge collection carries both commercial and residential ratings, meaning these tiles meet the rigorous durability standards required for high-traffic business settings while remaining perfect for home use.
With a DCOF (Dynamic Coefficient of Friction) rating exceeding 0.42, these tiles provide excellent slip resistance surpassing ADA requirements for safe walking surfaces, even when wet. The exceptionally low water absorption rate of ≤0.5% classifies this porcelain as impervious, meaning it essentially repels moisture and won't harbor bacteria or mold.
This superior water resistance, combined with freeze-thaw resistance, makes the Aldridge suitable for both interior and exterior applications, including outdoor patios and pool decks in any climate.
Natural Beauty with Predictable Results
The collection features a Level 2 shade variation, which creates a beautifully balanced aesthetic you'll enjoy moderate color and texture differences between tiles that mimic the organic variation found in natural limestone, without the dramatic unpredictability of higher variation levels.
This moderate variation ensures your space looks authentically natural while maintaining design control. With 48 unique faces (distinct tile patterns), your installation will have minimal pattern repetition, creating an expansive, non-repetitive appearance even in large spaces. The rectified edges provide precision-cut sides that allow for tight grout lines as narrow as 1/16", delivering a sleek, contemporary look.
At 0.35 inches thick, these tiles offer substantial durability while remaining compatible with standard installation methods and transitions to other flooring materials.
