When designing, building, or upgrading the bathroom, in addition to focusing on its look and plans, it is necessary to pay attention to the non-slip properties of the coating material that will line the floor to minimize the risk of falls, as water, steam and fluids are common in this room.
If the house is also inhabited by people with reduced mobility, who are more prone to falls, it is even more reason to opt for non-slip floor materials.
Before reading on, we would like to inform you that the products we will mention in this article comply with the following non-slip ratings according to the following standards:
Class 3 – UNE-ENV 12633:2003 (CTE)
≥ 0,42 – DCOF Wet Dynamic Coefficient of Friction ANSI A 137.1 Standard
Now that you have the most important information, that is safety related, how about starting to design a beautiful non-slip floor with circular mosaic chips?
An Innovative Mosaic with Many Advantages
The trend of using recycled glass mosaic in wet areas is growing not only because it is a highly resistant material with no porosity, but also because of its hygienic properties, its easy cleaning, and its ability to adapt to any surface, making it possible to decorate the entire bathroom floor or a small area, such as the shower floor.
Add to these features a non-slip finish and a totally innovative format, and ONIX Penny circular mosaic is the ideal choice for anyone looking for functionality, safety, and design.
Although we will focus in this article on the bathroom, more and more interior designers and architects around the world are becoming interested in our penny-sized and shaped mosaic for their interior projects, extending its applications to wall coating and endless furniture decoration options.

If we add a designer coating such as the one in this series to a bathroom with white furniture or walls and include small decorative elements in chromatic harmony with the floor (vases, towels, etc.), the result can be astonishing.
All the mosaics in this series are non-slip, which means that with any of them you can add a touch of vintage reminiscence to your bathroom without compromising safety.
