As part of our continued testing schedule we are pleased to announce that a selection of tiles have now passed 400 cycles freeze/thaw frost test at CERAM® building technology this week.
The UK standard at the moment is Method D and the pass rate for this test is 100 frost test cycles. In addition to this many of the UK manufactures are keen to move to the more rigorous test of Method E. The Pass rate adopted by the UK Manufactures is 150 cycles for Frost testing to method E. The Belief is that method E will show a better quality tile more suited to the ever changing UK climate.
Viewed by Many of the UK Manufacturers as the most stringent test and a benchmark for tiles sold in the UK , a Selection of tiles from our Ashbury Range have achieved 440 cycles on Method E Frost testing. These are on continuous test and the result will be released in due course.
