Metropolitan Ceramics Meets & Exceeds New Slip Resistance Designations
For many years, the 0.42 Dynamic Coefficient of Friction (DCOF) measurement has been the industry-accepted norm for interior, horizontal surfaces that can be expected to be wet. Now there are also five designations, Interior Dry, Interior Wet, Interior Wet Plus, Exterior Wet, and Oils and Greases incorporated into the standard.
Areas of Use
We have included an additional category beyond the scope of A326.3 which we are calling “Enhanced Grip”. All products are routinely used in the five categories listed but products that include our Quarry Basics® XA-Abrasive and our Metro Tread® can be used in even more demanding applications such as ramps. We encourage you to contact us with your specific application to find out which Metropolitan Ceramics product is suitable for your needs.

Made in the USA for 150 Years
‘Made in the USA’ is not a phrase we take lightly – we have been saying it for 150 years.
As we look forward to the upcoming 4th of July Celebration, it is a great time for us at Ironrock to reflect on a very special anniversary -150 years of making the highest quality brick and ceramic products.
Ironrock is a fifth generation family owned company located in Canton, Ohio. We have a brick making heritage that dates back to 1866. We are the makers of Metropolitan Ceramics® Quarry Tile and two thin brick products – METROBRICK® and Royal Thin Brick®.
In 150 years, our company has seen a lot of the history that makes up the fabric of the United States, and we have made quite a bit of our own.
We are proud to have provided products along the way to help build our country, from road paving bricks that were the foundation of a budding road system, to durable and slip resisting ceramic tile used in countless buildings throughout the country, to thin brick used to clad a wide variety of buildings.
As we celebrate a storied history, we look forward to a bright future and are proud to say we are Made in the USA.
