COTTO is seriously entering the market with Anti-Slip Tiles after receiving positive feedback from consumers who prioritize the safety of residents, especially families with elderly members and children who are at higher risk of slipping.

         Mr. Thanakrit Rattananeen Marketing Manager of Thai Ceramic Industry Co., Ltd. stated that consumers are increasingly prioritizing safety, as children and the elderly make up about 50% of the country's population, which is quite significant. Tiles have become a product that many people are meticulous about choosing. Previously, aesthetics were the main consideration, but now functionality that helps reduce the risk of slipping is also a priority. Therefore, COTTO recognizes that floor tiles can be developed to meet the needs of this demographic, leading to the official launch of Anti-Slip tiles. COTTO Anti-Slip tiles have a rougher surface than standard tiles, with an R value (Slip Resistance Test) starting from 10 and are designed beautifully to meet various needs, allowing consumers to choose appropriately based on the area of use, with properties that comply with international standards to reduce slip and fall risks.

          "Different areas require different tiles. Therefore, consumers should have knowledge and understanding when selecting tiles suitable for each area. The choice of tiles should consider the R value, which measures the surface resistance level according to international standards. Tiles with an R9 value are suitable for dry indoor areas such as halls and living rooms, R10 is suitable for dining areas, bathrooms, and kitchens, R11 is suitable for wet areas like laundry spaces, sloped outdoor areas, outdoor walkways, indoor staircases, parking lots, and pool areas, while R12 is suitable for areas around swimming pools and very wet areas, as well as large parking lots. COTTO has tested the R value of its tiles using methods according to international standards, so consumers can be confident in the quality of the tiles," Mr. Thanakrit added.

          Mr. Thanakrit further stated that the introduction of COTTO Anti-Slip tiles at the recent '61 Siam Architect event received very positive feedback, especially as it was promoted in collaboration with SCG Elderly Care, focusing on the elderly demographic with a strong emphasis on safety. For future plans regarding COTTO Anti-Slip Tile products, we will expand the variety of designs by developing new series beyond the current focus on natural patterns like stone and wood designs, to cater to consumers of all lifestyles.
