This is a rating system developed by the Porcelain Enamel Institute. It is the most effective means to determine the suitability of a particular ceramic or porcelain tile for its intended use. The rating system indicates a tile’s resistance to abrasion and likelihood to wear under use. The PEI ratings are as follows:
– PEI I – tile has lowest wear resistance and is suitable for wall use only
– PEI II – tile has low wear resistance and is suitable for wall use and for floor areas with light traffic such as residential bathrooms
– PEI III – tile has moderate wear resistance and is suitable for all residential uses and in commercial areas where light to moderate foot traffic is anticipated
– PEI IV – tile has high wear resistance and is suitable for all residential uses and all medium commercial and light industrial uses
– PEI V – tile has highest wear resistance and is suitable for all residential, commercial and industrial uses
