In recent years, bathroom accidents have frequently occurred. To prevent the elderly from slipping and getting injured in the bathroom, the non-slip tiles must not be sloppy when decorating.
Ceramic tiles that meet the standard must undergo a slip resistance test by an accredited laboratory. The German standard DIN51130 is the most common on the market in Hong Kong. The ideal non-slip tile should perform its best function in wet and dry conditions.
Anti-slip level The DIN 51130 slip resistance is achieved by putting on safety shoes, the tester stands on the lubricated test material, and then calculates at which inclination angle the tester starts to slide.
R9-R11 are sufficient for general household applications, R12-R13 are mainly used for outdoor and special space applications, applications with different slip resistance:
Anti-slip certification There is no proof of slip resistance for ordinary ceramic tiles on the market, especially polished tiles. If you want to use polished tiles with full sense of light to make the floor of the hall, it is easy to ignore the anti-slip function while pursuing aesthetics. For safety reasons, polished tiles with qualified non-slip certificates should be selected. The Asian floor tiles are certified by the Hong Kong laboratory and have the most basic R9 anti-slip grade.
The non-slip tiles commonly used on wet floors are matte. Although they have a certain anti-slip function, they lose a bit of natural and soft light under the light, and their reflectivity is relatively low. The pursuit of non-slip will sacrifice aesthetics and ease of cleaning, especially if the bathroom is wet, there is a chance that bacteria will grow more easily.
So to strike a balance between the two, you can consider soft-gloss tiles, which not only have R10 anti-slip grade, but also retain the natural light feel of the smooth surface.55 degree soft lightIt is Asia's first technology that combines the advantages of polishing and matte, but also makes up for the shortcomings of both, and meets customers' requirements for non-slip and the pursuit of beauty.
An object’s journey begins with a pen’s imaginative strokes, and culminates as it materialises at the warmth of our fingertips. ASA recently had the privilege of crafting tailor-made porcelain tiles for the latest Hong Kong boutique of an international fragrance and skincare brand. Follow us on this odyssey of translating abstract design language into tangible textures.
The meticulous tile design features fine geometric lines as minute as 1.2 mm at its narrowest point. Yet raw clay, in the blazing heat of the kiln at 1,280°C, contracts naturally and unpredictably. To faithfully capture these crisp lines in physical form, our professional team underwent painstaking rounds of trial firings and mould refinements. We understood that achieving this millimetre-level precision in our tiles was paramount to the design vision and a seamless installation.
Unlike the inflexible uniformity of mass production, each piece of tile for this project was glazed individually by hand. As kiln temperatures subtly shifted, the green glaze drifted towards the tile edges, resulting in layered, three-dimensional colours. No two tiles are the same - each carries its own living nuance born from the fire. When applied across countertops, cabinets, and drawers, they interact with the lights to lend the space a vibrant, lively rhythm.
Commercial projects often move at a rapid pace. Delivering artisanal refinement within a tight time frame requires absolute transparency and trust between ASA and the design team. Throughout production, updates on glaze trials and mould adjustments were shared in real time. By aligning on every minutia before firing, potential issues were efficiently resolved in advance. The final goods were delivered safely and on schedule thanks to our shared unwavering commitment.
