introductioncompany credentials
Founded in 1901 Johnson Tiles (formally
H & R Johnson Tiles Ltd) is the leading
manufacturer and supplier of ceramic tiles
in the UK, with a long history of market
leadership and industry production
development.
Part of the Norcros Group we have sister
manufacturing bases in South Africa and
Greece with additional offi ces in Dubai,
USA and Australia.
In 2001 an investment in excess of
£35 million allowed us to develop a new fully
automated production facility on a single
integrated site in Stoke-on-Trent.
Our UK factory produces over 5 million
square metres of ceramic tiles for use in the
UK and overseas markets.
Johnson Tiles products are used in a wide
range of commercial and non commercial
projects and we supply ceramic tiles to
almost every country of the world.
Our strength is based on a comprehensive
portfolio of leading edge quality products
combined with very high levels of
customer service. As manufacturers
we have extremely stringent quality and
environmental control standards.
In 2006 we created and opened the award
winning Material Lab design resource
centre at 10 Great Titchfi eld Street,
London, offering designers and architects
an environment where products such as
ceramics, glass, wallpaper, carpet tiles,
eco-resins, fabrics and many more materials
can be explored.
We have a longstanding commitment to
environmental management and have had
a formal environmental policy since 1992.
Our environmental management system is
certifi ed against the ISO14001 standard.
We were the fi rst ceramics company within
the whitewares sector to gain certifi cation
against the ISO14001 standard in 1998
and have since successfully upgraded our
certifi cation to meet the latest requirements
of ISO14001:2004. We are the only UK
wall tile manufacturer to have ISO14001
accreditation.
The company has never been subject to
any prosecutions or formal environmental
regulatory action for any breaches of
environmental legislation.
In 1997 Johnson Tiles were awarded
the Queens Award for Environmental
Achievement for our ceramic waste
recycling scheme.
To our knowledge we are the only
manufacturer in the world to operate such
a scheme. This scheme which has been in
continuous use since 1992 also enabled
Johnson TIles to win the Manufacturing
Industry Achievement Award for
Environmentalist of the Year in 1997.
In 2008 Johnson Tiles was the only
ceramics manufacturer or supplier to appear
in the Times 50 Best Green Companies list.
Approximately 25% of the material used to
produce our wall tiles comes from recycled
ceramic materials from our own and other
local companies.
Various recycling and energy saving
schemes throughout our production and
offi ce processes allow us each year to:-
Save 20,000 tonnes of ceramic landfi ll from
our own and local ceramic factory waste
saving 360 tonnes of CO2 in transportation
on materials
Save 1250 tonnes of virgin timber
Use 92% recycled materials in our
packaging
Re-use 32 million litres of water
(30% of the total factory usage)
Save 42 million kWh of energy
Save 2400 tonnes of CO2
Our energy and material savings are
detailed in our “Ceramic Tile Environmental
Strategy” document.

V1 Low Variation
Least possible shade variation between tiles in a box. When installed and mixed correctly the effect is a consistent overall appearance.
V3 High Variation
Considerable shade variation within a box. When installed and mixed correctly the effect is a fi nish with high degree of shade variation. These differences are a design feature of V3 rated tiles.
V2 Moderate Variation
Low to moderate shade variation within a box. When installed and mixed correctly the effect is a fi nish with subtle shade differences. These differences are a design feature of V2 rated tiles.
V4 Random Variation
Highest possible shade variation within a box. Colours vary from tile to tile and when mixed and fi xed correctly create a high degree of shade variance in the installation. This high shade variance is a design feature of V4 rated tiles.
colour shade variationColour Shade Variation (CSV) values are assigned to fl oor tiles within this literature. These values must only be used as a guide. Shade, colour and pattern variation are inherent characteristics of all ceramic tiles. Before fi xing several cartons should be opened and the contents mixed to ensure that the shade variation and/or patterning are acceptable. CSV is split into 4 categories:
50 51
technical
technical - slip resistance
technical
technical - slip resistance
Slip Resistance
The slip resistance of a fl oor fi nish is the most important safety consideration. Effective and suitable slip resistant characteristics will reduce the likelihood of slipping particularly for the elderly, visually or mobility impaired.
Slip resistance depends upon many factors:
The roughness of the surface
Whether it is wet or dry when in use
Whether the fl oor fi nish is regularly contaminated by liquids or other contaminants
The wear characteristics of the fl oor fi nish
Implementation of a suitable cleaning and maintenance schedule
In addition there are other factors that can affect the slip resistance and performance characteristics of a fl oor fi nish, these include:
Lighting, glare and humidity
Slopes and ramps
Visual or acoustic distractions
Type of footwear worn
The risk of slipping or tripping is increased if the coeffi cient of friction values of the two materials varies greatly. This can be minimised by locating the material or fi nish change at predictable locations ie door or wall openings.
Slip resistant fl oor fi nishes are recommended for use in areas where safety is paramount i.e. entrances, ramps, stairs and landings, escape routes, commercial kitchen areas, areas adjacent to hazardous machinery or activities and areas subject to frequent wetting i.e. shower fl oors, swimming pool surrounds – this is not an exhaustitive list.
Maintaining Slip Resistance of Floor Finishes
The two main factors affecting the ongoing slip resistance performance of a fl oor fi nish are wear resistance and surface contaminants.
Wear Resistance
Porcelain tiles offer the commercial specifi er unrivalled wear resistance. Correctly specifi ed and installed these tiles would be expected to last the lifetime of the building. The slip resistant characteristics of the tiles are maintained with the implementation of a suitable cleaning regime.
Surface Contaminants
Areas subject to expected surface contaminants should incorporate the use of slip resistant fl oor tiles. The degree of slip resistance changes with the contaminant - i.e. water as a contaminant has less effect on slip resistance than oil or margarine. Further details can be found on www.hse.gov.uk
Falls in Floors
Where fl uid contamination cannot be avoided HSE guidance recommends that fl oors are laid to falls so that the majority of the contamination drains to properly constructed outlets. Profi led tiles allow the contaminant to collect in the low areas whilst the high areas remain relatively dry or at least above the surface of the contaminant. The degree of slope of a fall depends upon many factors including – surface contaminant, degree of usage, affected area etc. As an example a minimum fall of 1:50 is recommended in the “Specifi ers Handbook for Inclusive Design – Internal Floor Finishes” available from RIBA Bookshops.
Floors Subject to Surface Contamination
Swimming Pools and Wet Areas
Wet barefoot areas (showers, wet change areas and pool surrounds) must be slip resistant when wet with a non-abrasive surface
Should be easy to keep clean to maintain the slip resistance of the fl oor material at all times
Should have a texture that is as comfortable as possible for bare feet
Should be laid to falls
Should incorporate fl ush drain covers wherever possible
Should use fl oor fi nishes that achieve either category “B” or category “C” slip resistance when tested by DIN51097 Wet Ramp Test. (Category “C” has greater slip resistance than category “B” – in certain instances only category “C” is suitable).
Commercial Kitchens
Hygiene and slip resistance are extremely important in Commercial Kitchens. Kitchens are likely to not only receive water contamination but also wet and dry foods. oils and greases from cooking either through spillage or splashing.
Floors for commercial kitchens should provide suffi cient surface roughness to create a slip resistant fi nish. Roughness values of over 20µm are normally adequate (“Specifi ers Handbook for Inclusive Design – Internal Floor Finishes” available from RIBA Bookshops) for areas that are frequently or permanently wet.
Floor fi nishes should also be easy to clean and stain resistant to maintain hygiene.
Further information on slip resistance and good practice for fl ooring is available from the HSE website www.hse.gov.uk/slips

To date no single test method is universally accepted for slip resistance by British and European Standards. Aesthetics of a fl ooring installation must not override safety.
All of the slip resistance values given in this publication are factory gate values (based on as supplied tiles). These slip resistance values can only be maintained in service with the implementation of a suitable cleaning and maintenance regime.
Pendulum Test (for general usage areas) TRRL – Transport & Road Research Laboratory)
A swinging test apparatus which determines the co-effi cient of friction using a 4S rubber slider to simulate soled shoes. The test value equates100x the co-effi cient of friction.
High Slip Potential – 24 and below Moderate Slip Potential – 25 to 35 Low Slip Potential – 35+
Surtronic Surface Roughness
This is determined using a TR100 roughness meter. A stylus traverses across the surface and the movement of the stylus is electronically recorded to ascertain the surface roughness.
Below 10 µm – high slip potential 10 µm to 20 µm – moderate slip potential 20+ µm – low slip potential
Ramp Test (DIN51130) Wet Shod Traffi cked areas
Used to assess fl oor tiles for shoe traffi cked areas. The test utilises a surface lubricant (R value).

Wet Ramp Test (DIN51097) Wet Barefoot Areas
Used to assess a fl oor tile’s suitability for wet barefoot conditions. Tiles are classifi ed in 1 of 3 groups as an indication of their suitability.
Class A – Dry areas including dry changing areas, dry barefoot corridors
Class B – as A plus pool surrounds, communal showers, pool beach areas, disinfectant spray areas, wet change areas
Class C – as A & B plus pool surround inclines, walk through pools, Jacuzzi fl oors and seats, inclined pool edges and steps

installationCodes of Practice
All fi xing of fl oor and cladding tiles should be in accordance with the following codes of practice guidelines:-
BS5385 Part 1 – 1995 (Code of practice for the design and installation of internal wall tiling and mosaics in normal conditions)
BS5385 Part 2 – 2006 (Code of practice for the design and installation of external ceramic wall tiling and mosaics)
BS5385 Part 3 – 1989 (Code of practice for the design and installation of ceramic fl oor tiles and mosaics)
BS5385 Part 4 – 1992 (Code of practice for ceramic tiling and mosaic in specifi c conditions)
BS8000 Section 11.1 – 1989 (Workmanship on Building Sites, Part 11, Code of practice for wall and fl oor tiling).
Floor and cladding tiles are made from quality refi ned raw materials and are un-glazed class BIa (porcelain) products, as such they require the use of polymer modifi ed adhesives (classifi cation C2*) and grouts specially formulated for fi xing and grouting of porcelain tiles.
* Check with adhesive manufacturer for additional C1 product suitability.
Substrates
Before tiling is commenced it is important to ensure that the correct minimum curing periods have been observed for all substrates:-
Concrete – 6 weeks
Screed (non modifi ed) – 3 weeks
Rendering (non modifi ed) – 2 weeks
Gypsum Plastering – 4 weeks
Brickwork/Blockwork – 6 weeks
Accuracy of the substrate must be checked to ensure that the guidance given in BS5385 has been achieved i.e. “local variations in level for a nominally fl at fl oor or wall should be such that, when checked with a 2m straightedge, any gap under the straightedge between points of contact does not exceed 3mm”.
Design/Layout
Consideration to locations of plane changes and room sizes should be undertaken to ensure the best tile size is selected to minimise cutting and improve aesthetics.
Movement Joints
The location, type and scope of all movement joints must be ascertained prior to any fi xing works. All structural joints must be followed through to the face of the tile at full width with intermediate movement joints (minimum 6mm wide) being situated at:-
Changes of plane
Wall/fl oor junctions
Where tiling abuts other materials
Additionally at 3 to 4.5m maximum centres for wall tiling and 8 to 10m maximum bay centres for fl oor tiling (in suspended fl oors the bay dimensions should be reduced by providing additional joints over supporting walls and beams).
Movement joints can either be fi lled with a suitable backer, bond breaker and fi ller (e.g. epoxy polysulphide – please check with manufacturer for suitability) or be of the pre-formed variety.
Adhesives
Adhesives should be in accordance with BS EN 12004, Class C2*. Particular adhesive choice will be governed by the substrate.
* Check with adhesive manufacturer for additional C1 product suitability.
Johnson Tiles recommend the use of Johnson’s Professional adhesives and grouts, see below:
Grouts
The choice of grout type should refl ect the expected service conditions of the installation.
For general fl oor tiling grouts should be class CG2 ie Johnson Professional Wide Joint Flexible Grout.
For fl oors subject to frequent wetting ie showers and pool halls grout should be class CG2 for hard water areas or RG1 for soft water areas ie Johnson Professional Wide Joint Flexible Grout (CG2), Easy Clean Epoxy (RG1).
Where hygiene is important ie commercial kitchens and hospitals grout should be class RG1 ie Johnson Professional Easy Clean Epoxy.
For specifi c adhesive or grout advice please contact Johnson Professional helpline 0870 609 2851
Fixing Tiles
All fl oor tiles should be fi xed with a solid bed of adhesive, this ensures maximum durability and strength within the installation and long term adhesion performance. This is achieved with the use of a notched solid bed trowel. It is good practice to periodically remove a recently fi xed tile to ensure that the correct bedding is being achieved and maintained. When fi xing all tiles care must be taken to ensure that no lipping of tiles occurs.

cleaningMaintaining the appearance and characteristics (especially slip resistance values) of fl oor tiles is achieved with the implementation of a suitable cleaning regime. It must be stressed that the cleaning material manufacturers instructions must be followed at all times. Regular and correctly undertaken cleaning should maintain a fl oor product as close to its original state as possible. Incorrect or infrequent cleaning will adversely affect the properties of the fl ooring material and increase potential hazards. Generally the smoother the surface of the tile the easier it is to clean. However, it should be noted that textured products, required to give adequate slip resistance when wet, can be satisfactorily cleaned – the cleanability of a surface is more a function of the contaminant than the texture of the surface. It is therefore essential when selecting and specifying a fl oor fi nish that the use of the area and likely contaminants, safety, aesthetic and hygiene requirements are all taken into account at the specifi cation stage.
Cleaning can be split into several categories, each of which is dependant upon installation type (ie wet barefoot areas, shopping malls, public toilets etc) and frequency of usage (ie high, medium or low traffi c):-
Builders Clean
This should be undertaken prior to a fl oor being brought into service. The builders clean removes any residual fi lm left over from the grouting operation and is a one off cleaning process. It is imperative that this is carried out as any grout residues left behind will act as a key for dirt resulting in the installation being diffi cult to clean.
Temporary sealers may be used to facilitate cleaning off after laying which can be removed with the use of alkaline detergents.
Cementitious Grouts
The use of a mild acid decementing solution followed by thorough rinsing will remove all but the most stubborn of cement residues.
Epoxide Grouts
It is essential that ALL residue be removed from the surface of the tiles during the grouting process and before the resin cures. Failure to achieve this will result in a very diffi cult and expensive process using gel-type epoxide removers.
Routine Cleaning
The regular use of detergents or other cleaning agents which are excessively acidic or alkaline could cause irreversible damage to the ceramic tile surface. Degreasing agents that contain wax, sodium silicate or other additives which leave sticky deposits and thus retain dirt should be avoided. Oil residues or build-ups of wax can be removed with a proprietary wax and polish remover.
Manual Cleaning
In normal conditions tiles require little maintenance and can be easily kept clean by sweeping and then mopping with warm water to which a neutral or nearly neutral detergent has been added. The cleaning solution should remain on the fl oor for 5 to 15 minutes (see manufacturers instructions) to allow it to penetrate and emulsify the dirt after which it should be removed by rinsing thoroughly with clean water. The rinsing process removes the dirt so the use of clean water is important.
Mechanical Cleaning
For larger fl oor areas or areas of textured tiles the use of a rotary scrubbing machine is recommended (machines should not be used at speeds in excess of 450rpm). The choice of brush type is very important. Union mix brushes are suitable for light washing and scrubbing, polypropelene brushes are suitable where dirt deposits are especially heavy. The cleaning solution should remain on the fl oor for 5 to 15 minutes (see manufacturers instructions) after which a secondary scrubbing action and clean mop or suction should be undertaken to remove the solution and dirt.
High Pressure Cleaning
Tiles seldom require the use of high pressure cleaning. Whilst the process will not damage the tiles care must be taken to avoid erosion of the grout. To minimise grout erosion ensure that the water beam is continually moved from side to side and not allowed to concentrate on the grouted joints. Water containing abrasives or steam cleaners should not be used on ceramic tiles.
Wet Areas
Wet barefoot areas may attract build-ups of body fats, soaps, oil residues and organic growth. To prevent these a mildly acidic cleaning agent used regularly is preferable. If build up has been allowed a preliminary deep clean with a proprietary cleaner is required followed by regular use of a mildly acidic cleaning agent solution.
Periodic Deep Cleaning
Occasionally foreign matter may cause surface marks that cannot be removed with the usual cleaning processes and materials. If the surface mark cannot be removed, other materials should be considered (it is advisable to experiment on a small inconspicuous area):-
Paint – Paint Remover
Organic Stains – Bleach or one off treatment with washing soda
Rust – Masonry Cleaner
Oil, Fat, Grease – Detergent or degreaser
Mould Growth – Household bleach or proprietary cleaner
Tea, Coffee, Ink – Household bleach or proprietary cleaner
Abrasive powders or cleaners should never be used on ceramic tiles.

FM 26818
dda - disability discrimination actThe Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (DDA) introduced new measures to prevent discrimination against disabled people. The Act was broadened in 2005 to form the current Disability Discrimination Act 2005.
The DDA requires accessible environments to be provided for disabled people, either in their place of work or for access to goods, services or facilities (public spaces). Those commissioning new buildings or adaptations to existing buildings must consider the implications of the DDA and their ability to provide buildings that do not discriminate against disabled people (physical or mental impairments).
When specifying ceramics there are 2 main areas of relevance within the DDA.
Colour Refl ectance (Contrast)
The DDA gives guidance on good visual contrast for the visually impaired between various elements of a building by the use of Light Refl ectance Values (LRV).
LRV is a general term for contrast and is measured as the proportion of useful light refl ected by a coloured object, fl oor, wall or ceiling. LRV is measured on a scale of 0 to 100 where 0 is perfect black and 100 perfect white (in reality 0 and 100 are unobtainable colours). According to NCS Colour Centre in practical terms black is approx 6 and white approx 85. See pages 44-47 for values.
The current guidelines from Building Regulations Approved Document M on contrast are that a minimum difference of 30 LRV points should be specifi ed for adjacent surfaces to ensure that visually impaired people are not discriminated against. In the specifi c example of ceramic tiles this difference should be between:
Floors to walls
Ceiling to walls
Handrails to walls
Sanitary fi ttings to walls
Visual contrast between fl oors and walls is important in enabling visually impaired people to assess and gauge the size and shape of a room. It is important that the greatest visual contrast occurs where the fl oor meets the wall (skirting) as this gives the most accurate visual indication of the extent of the room. Where provided, skirtings should contrast visually with the fl oor and be similar in colour and tone to the wall surface.
Tactile Foot Braille
Recommendations from the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions (DETR), the joint mobility unit of the RNIB and the Centre for Accessible Environments (CAE) led to the need for Tactiles to be used as warning features for stairs, ramps and platforms.
Available in 400x400x10mm format and in 2 colour options the Johnson Tactile System offers compliance with not only the DDA requirements but also the DETR, RNIB and CAE recommendations. Specifi ed correctly the Johnson Tactile System will ensure that any new building Access Audits will be compliant with the Access to Goods and Services part of the DDA.
The Johnson Tactile System is manufactured to the highest technical and performance standards. The surface of the Tactile products have the enhanced performance qualities of a slip resistance durundum inclusion in the surface of the tile.
The Corduroy profi le is designed to warn visually impaired people of the presence of specifi c hazards. Such a profi le is “Foot Braille” and is a warning associated with steps, ramps or the approach to on-street light rapid transit platforms. The Corduroy profi le is an internationally accepted Tactile surface that conveys the message of hazard and implies proceed with caution.
The Blister profi le is designed to warn visually impaired people of the edge of all off-street platforms. The profi le consists of a series of offset, fl at topped dome studs. The parallel rows of studs are designed to be installed at right angles to the direction of traffi c and are normally located behind the platform edge coping.
For details of Johnson Tiles Tactile System see our Kerastar brochure.
This information is not exhaustive and the requirements at the time of specifi cation must be checked.
BS8300:2001 Amendment 1 indicates that there is anecdotal evidence to suggest that a 20 point LRV difference may be suffi cient – especially where large adjacent areas are involved.
It must be noted that the guidance on LRV values given in this brochure are correct at the time of print. This is a subject that may be reviewed by the regulatory body at any time so it is advisable to check the guidelines at the time of specifi cation of product.
The DDA details given in this brochure are to be used as an outline guide only and are the details as Johnson Tiles understand them at the time of print. If in doubt of any details contained herein the Act should be read in full.
