R Value

R Value

The “R value” in relation to slip resistance on flooring typically refers to the “coefficient of friction,” often denoted as “R” or “R value.” This value represents the ratio of the force of friction between two surfaces (in this case, the shoe sole and the floor surface) to the force pressing them together (the weight of the person). In simpler terms, it measures how much grip or resistance a surface provides against slipping. A higher R value indicates greater slip resistance, meaning it’s less likely for someone to slip or fall on that surface. Different flooring materials and finishes have varying R values, which are determined through testing under standardised conditions.
