Common Questions

Industry Specification FAQs

For heavy commercial floors — such as retail, restaurants, and lobbies — specify PEI Group IV or V (PEI 4-5). Daltile quarry tile and many porcelain collections carry PEI 5 ratings, suitable for the most demanding foot traffic environments. Residential floors typically require only PEI 3. Each Daltile product datasheet specifies the PEI rating and recommends appropriate use cases.

Yes. Many Daltile products qualify for LEED credits under categories including Materials & Resources (regional materials, recycled content) and Indoor Environmental Quality (low-emitting materials). Daltile's GREENGUARD-certified products contribute to IEQ Credit for low chemical emissions. Contact our technical team for project-specific LEED documentation packages.

The ADA guidelines recommend a static coefficient of friction (COF) of at least 0.6 for accessible routes. Daltile specifies COF values on product datasheets tested per ANSI A137.1 and DCOF AcuTest methods. For wet areas like pool surrounds or commercial kitchens, look for products with DCOF ≥ 0.42 (wet). Our technical team can provide verified COF documentation for project submittals.
