Ceramic wear-resistant tiles

Tile wear resistance refers to its ability to withstand mechanical and chemical stresses. Wear resistance is one of the most important criteria for tiles, as it determines their service life and appearance. To help choose the right tile for your needs, there are five categories of abrasion resistance classified using the PEI scale.

The PEI wear resistance classes are defined as follows:

• PEI I and II – ideal for residential areas with low levels of external impact. It is recommended to walk barefoot or in soft footwear. Suitable for bathrooms and bedrooms.
• PEI III – offers higher wear resistance, suitable for areas with moderate and low foot traffic. Can be walked on with harder-soled shoes. Recommended for kitchens, hallways, living rooms, and balconies.
• PEI IV – high wear resistance, suitable for public spaces such as offices, restaurants, residential building corridors, and bars.
• PEI V – the highest level of wear resistance, capable of withstanding heavy damage and loads. Commonly used in high-traffic areas such as metro stations, train stations, sidewalks, and other busy locations.
