How We Help You Choose the Right Tile Thickness

The Critical Fall Height (CFH) is determined by the tile’s thickness and the density of the rubber used, in accordance with international standards ASTM F1292 and EN1177. CFH refers to the maximum height from which a person can fall without sustaining serious injury. You can determine the appropriate tile thickness based on the following:

1- CFH of 0.5 m → 10 mm tile thickness recommended
2- CFH of 0.7 m → 20 mm tile thickness preferred
3- CFH of 0.9 m → 25 mm tile thickness ideal
4- CFH of 1.0 m → 30 mm tile thickness recommended
5- CFH of 1.2 m → 40 mm tile thickness preferred
6- CFH of 1.5 m → 50 mm tile thickness recommended
7- CFH of 2.0 m → 75 mm tile thickness ideal
8- CFH of 3.0 m → 100 mm tile thickness preferred for high-impact areas
