Cicilia Naranza Base/Decor

The decision here is whether you want a plain timber look floor or one with a patterned decor running through it. Cicilia Naranza Base/Decor gives you both in the same cinnamon colour, so a laundry or a small entry can carry a feature run without a second product. The satin texture has a light grain you can feel, close to sanded board, and it still wipes clean easily. Only four random faces exist, so open several cartons and shuffle the planks before laying or the repeat will be obvious. Planks measure 150 x 900 mm in glazed ceramic, 8 to a box, 1.08 m2 of coverage, 22 kg.

  Each carton holds 8 planks of 15 x 90 cm and covers 1.08 m², at about 22 kg. Cicilia Naranza Base/Decor is a timber look tile with a satin textured face.

• What grout joint should Cicilia Naranza Base/Decor be laid with?
