V4
V0 = VERY UNIFORM APPEARANCE
Pieces of the same shade value are very uniform and smooth in texture. They can be measured for small colour differences and are in compliance with colour uniformity requirements.
V1 = UNIFORM APPEARANCE
Differences among pieces from the same production run are minimal
V2 = SLIGHT VARIATION
You’ll notice clearly distinguishable differences in texture and/or patter within similar colours
V3 = MODERATE VARIATION
While the colours and/or texture present on a single piece of tile will be indicative of the colours and/or texture to be expected on the other tiles., the amount of colours and/or texture on each piece may vary significantly. It is recommended that the range be viewed before selection.
V4 = SUBSTANTIAL VARIATION
Random colour and/or texture differ from tile to tile, so that one tile may have totally different colours and/or texture from that on other tiles.
Thus, the final installation will be unique. It is recommended that the range be viewed before selection.
SLIP RESISTANT EXPLAINED
Slip Ratings for tiles have been designed to make it easy when deciding if a tile is suitable for the bathroom, kitchen, an outdoor area, or even around a pool.
The below explanations are based on the level of risk potentially involved:
VERY HIGH
Internal
HIGH
Internal & covered external
MODERATE
Internal & covered external
LOW
External suitable
VERY LOW
External suitable
This angle is used to determine the degree of slip resistance.
FINISH

LAPPATO
Partial shiny surface
MATT
Smooth, non-reflective
NATURAL
Textured surface
ALFRESCO
Slightly textured
EXTERNAL
Slip-resistant
COLOUR AND PATTERN VARIATION
This indicates the level of print variation to expect with a tile range
UNIFORM APPEARANCE
Minimal variation
SLIGHT VARIATION
Pattern with similarities
MODERATE VARIATION
