NRC-308

Three printed faces is low. Across a big living area the repeat becomes visible, so this one suits a laundry, a small hallway or a bedroom, and cartons should be opened and shuffled before the first plank goes down. Cinnamon itself is an easy mid brown that sits well against white walls. Satin texture gives a light grain and hides everyday marks. Each box carries 8 planks of 150 x 900 mm glazed ceramic covering 1.08 m2 at 22 kg, thickness 9 to 9.5 mm. Indoor use only. Buy a spare box while you are ordering, since matching a batch later is never certain.

• Can NRC-308 go in an alfresco area?

• What grout joint should NRC-308 be laid with?

  NRC-308 is a curve-edge plank rather than a rectified one, so lay it with a 3 to 5 mm joint. That spacing takes up the small natural variation along the plank and reads like the gap between real boards.
