Glaze List
Winter 1993

Durability Considerations
Depending on specific conditions, all glazed tile is subject to wear over time. To determine the suitability for specific applications, each McIntyre glaze has been tested and ranked on the MOHS scale and classified according to hardness and recommended use. Light colors and matte glazes are a better choice in heavy use areas rather than dark colors and gloss finish glazes because scratches on the tile surface are less apparent. A means must be provided for people to clean abrasive materials off their shoes before walking on a glazed tile floor.

Application Guide
Group 1 (MOHS 4-5): All interior and exterior vertical surfaces and bathroom floors.
Group 2 (MOHS 5-6): General residential except entry and kitchen floors.
Group 3 (MOHS 6-7): All residential; light comrnercial floors with diffused traffic.
Group 4 (MOHS 7-8): Moderate commercial floor use.
Group 5 (MOHS 8-9): Commercial applications where extra durability is required.

* = "1/2 Tone" (lighter) versions of glazes are available.
