FOR PETS / SLIP RESISTANCE

Know the slip resistance,
choose the floor.

What you can’t tell from looks alone: the feel underfoot.
The C.S.R·D′ shown with each product is a value for considering how slippery a floor is for dogs.

First, how to read the number ↓
C.S.R·D′0.53

What does this number show?

Example display. Not the value of every product.

01 / READ THE NUMBER

Under the same test conditions,
the larger the number, the less slippery.

C.S.R·D′ (pronounced “C-S-R D-dash”) is an index of slip resistance measured in a test that imitates a dog’s paw. When choosing a product, first remember it as a number for looking at slip resistance.

0.5 does not mean “50% safe.” Nor can it be read as twice as safe because it is twice 0.3. It is one clue for choosing a floor, to be considered together with your pet’s condition and how it moves.

A number alone cannot say a floor will not be slippery. It also changes with claws, paw pads, body size, how the dog moves and dirt on the floor.

Hardwood flooring 0.214, non-skid 0.530, carpet tile 0.460. Representative test examples from different sources are compared. The numbers are not a guarantee of safety.

02 / HOW IT IS MEASURED

Imitating a dog’s paw,
we measure the resistance when it starts to move.

A conceptual diagram based on the test method published by Sangetsu. The test conditions of every product are not necessarily identical.

  1. Place a slip piece that imitates a paw

    Foam rubber and linen fabric are used to recreate how a paw touches the floor.

  2. Pull under fixed conditions

    A weight is loaded and the piece is pulled diagonally upward, and the maximum force until it starts to move is measured.

  3. Turn it into a number to compare

    According to Sangetsu, the value is found by dividing the maximum pulling load by 5 kgf.

Are C.S.R and C.S.R·D′ the same?

C.S.R, which evaluates human walking, and C.S.R·D′, for dogs, differ in conditions such as the load and the slip piece. A value for people cannot be compared directly as a value for dogs, nor converted with a fixed coefficient. When looking at products, check for the “C.S.R·D′” label.

03 / CHOOSE FOR YOUR LIFE

Once you know the number,
find the piece that suits your life.

01

Choose by price

Residential cushion floor is an entry-level model that lets you change your floor at low cost. Its reference value is 0.354, and its slip resistance is on the lower side compared with the other floor materials listed. Consider it according to where you will use it and how your pet behaves.

02

Choose by slip resistance

With “Least slippery first” on the list, you can see products from the largest displayed value. Because measured and estimated values are included, this is not a confirmed ranking of actual performance.

03

Think through care as well

Ease of wiping up water, partial replacement when damaged, and the feel underfoot and how claws catch are also points to choose by. Check the look and the feel of use together with a sample.

0.354 is a reference test value for residential cushion floor shown by Sangetsu, not a value common to all residential cushion floor.

How the numbers are used and their sources

Reference information assuming indoor, dry conditions. It includes values published by manufacturers, values given by sales representatives, series representative values and unverified estimates by renovy. The numbers are not guaranteed values and cannot be used for a strict comparison of products whose test conditions do not match.

Check the difference between measured, answered and estimated values
  • Toli CF, FF2401, Sangetsu HW and HM: manufacturer-published test values and series reference values are listed.
  • Toli NS4213 and NS4231: the representative value of the corresponding series is listed. These are not measurements of the individual product numbers.
  • Sangetsu PX961, 963, 4822 and 4823: listed based on answers from a sales representative. The written reply has not been obtained.
  • Toli NS (10 items) and Sangetsu carpet (9 items): estimates based on renovy’s internal hypothesis. They include ratio estimates from values for people and provisional values borrowed from the specifications of other products, and have not been verified as conversions to values for dogs. Estimated values do not replace the manufacturer’s measurement results.
