Safer Choice Standard

Through extensive research, testing, and
development, MSI’s porcelain and natural
stone pavers are engineered with
technology!
These pavers are where safety and beauty
meet. Not only do the porcelain pavers deliver
the look of natural stone, marble, metal, but
both porcelain and natural stone pavers from
MSI provide peace of mind when it comes to
safety. This proprietary technology offers ex-
ceptional slip-resistance, ensuring a dynamic
coecient of friction (DCOF) value of at least
50% greater than the industry standard of 0.42
and far exceeds the DCOF of many of the most
popular pavers on the market.
HOW IS SLIP RESISTANCE DETERMINED?
DCOF, or dynamic coecient of friction, is a
measurement that determines how much
friction there is on wet, level oors when
walked upon.
The results of DCOF testing help MSI
determine the likelihood of whether a tile
surface could contribute to someone slipping
and/or falling.
