I'm adding a second bath to my home and I would like the floor to be as slip-resistant as possible when wet. I've seen a measure of slipperiness for some flooring called DCOF, dynamic coefficient of friction. Can you tell me what the DCOF value for marmoleum is? SAMPLE - Forbo Marmoleum Click Cinch Loc Seal, Cork Tree Waterproof Click - Floating

Unfortunately, Forbo, the manufacture does not test for a dynamic coefficient of friction. However, they do test for the Static Coefficient of Friction (ASTM D 2047). I'd recommend getting some samples of the embossed Click Cinch Loc which does have some texture on the surface and is available in the colors; Pacific Beaches, Cliffs of Moher. There is also the Textura collection of sheet good if your looking at sheet Marmoleum as an option.
