Hi all,
I'm trying to choose some tiles for my utility room containing a walk-in shower (concrete floor with a 1500x900 impey aqua grade former built into it so standard 4 degrees or whatever it is fall to drain in the shower area)
I'm aiming to have one continuous type of tile over the whole floor, envelope cut in the shower but I'm not sure what I should be aiming for in terms of slip resistance. As a room where there's likely to be moisture, I'm obviously avoiding highly polished tiles but I'm not sure what 'R' rating I'll need.
e.g. I quite like the look of these tiles from Tile Giant.
The 'standard' ones have a slip rating of R10

But they also do an 'anti slip' version which is R11

I've also read a load of stuff that suggests an 'R' rating is pretty meaningless.
Am I overthinking this?
