Product Specifications Flooring Type Tile & Stone Style CS29V GENESIS MOSAIC Color 00150 GREY Collection GENESIS Product Type Glazed Porcelain Glaze Hardness Product Specifications Glaze Hardness Glaze Hardness The relative hardness of glazed tile is an important issue that should be addressed when selecting a tile. The test is performed by scratching the surface of the tile with different minerals and subjectively assigning a Method of Hardness "MOH's" number to the glaze. The softest mineral used is talc (a #1 rating if no scratch), the hardest is a diamond (a #10 rating if no scratch). Other minerals of varying hardness that provide MOH's values of five or greater are suitable for most residential floor applications while a value of seven or greater is normally recommended for commercial applications. Both abrasion resistance and glaze hardness should be addressed when considering using glazed tiles as floor products.
