Minima Pearl Product Story
Minima Pearl comes in Natural (R10) for interior floors and walls, including bathrooms and commercial areas. Slabs up to 1200 × 2780mm extend it to seamless wall cladding, seamless floors, worktops and islands, vanity tops and basins, tables and furniture, and fireplace and bath surrounds. Every size is rectified for narrow, consistent joints, in thicknesses from 6mm to 9mm, and the collection can contribute to BREEAM and LEED assessments. Minima Pearl has moderate tonal variation (V3) that reads as natural movement rather than a printed surface.

Shade Variation
Provence Minima Pearl is rated .
Shade variation describes how much colour, tone and pattern differ from tile to tile in the same batch, from V1 (uniform appearance) to V4 (substantial variation). Lay out tiles from several boxes before fixing to see the full range.
Slip Resistance
Provence Minima Pearl has been slip tested using the DIN 51130 ramp test. Results by finish:
| Finish | R rating | Slip resistance |
|---|---|---|
| Natural | R10 | Normal |
R ratings run from R9 (minimal slip resistance) to R13 (very high). They classify how a surface performs in the ramp test and are not the angle a floor can safely be laid at. Ramp test (DIN 51130) and pendulum test (BS 7976-2) certificates are available on request.
