generally floor

Color

20 colors with special cloudy effect. Available from light colors to bright colors

Only maximum 3 colors available. Generally dull by nature

Designs

Various shapes with interlocking, combo tiles are available in different textures

Generally in square in size of 300x300 or 200x200

impact resistance

If sharp and heavy articles falls on laid ultra tiles, physically only small area chipping may occur

poor impact resistance. The tiles may break in pieces and come out from the bonding

Skid resistance

As per ASTM E303 minimum requirement, for antiskid is 25 BPN whereas ultra more than 80 BPN coefficient of friction for skid resistance is > 0.8

Vitrified tiles as per standard requirement should be> 0.40 in coefficient of friction of skid resistance is far below than ultra-designer tiles

Hardness (MOH's)

> 6.0

>6.0

Breaking strength

Ultra-designer tiles is >2850 N

Generally it is > 1300 N

Abrasion resistance

generally 1.4 to 1.6 whereas, maximum allowed as per ISO standard for heavy duty tiles is 2.5

Generally this test of loss in thickness is done as per the ISO 1237 and it should be less than 175 mm cube (as per ISO 4457-2007)
