Oaklore Grigio

The rustic texture is the reason to buy Oaklore Grigio. It is the deepest surface in the range, with the best grip and no glare, which puts it in the laundry, the ensuite and any wet area where a smooth floor turns slippery. It hides dust better than the smooth faces too. The colour is a natural clear stain, pale and close to Tasmanian oak, so a room stays light. Six random faces handle a normal room size without a visible repeat. Eight 150 x 900 mm planks to a box, 1.08 m2, 22 kg. Water absorption is 6 to 8 percent, so keep it indoors.

• How is Oaklore Grigio packed?

  Each carton holds 8 planks of 15 x 90 cm and covers 1.08 m², at about 22 kg. Oaklore Grigio is a timber look tile with a matte textured face.

• How many cartons of Oaklore Grigio for a 16 m² rumpus room?

  Add 10 percent to 16 m² for cuts and breakage, which gives 17.6 m². At 1.08 m² a carton that is 17 cartons.

• Can Oaklore Grigio go in an alfresco area?

  No, Oaklore Grigio is rated for interior use. For a covered alfresco or verandah, choose one of Metro's designs rated for outdoor use.

• What grout joint should Oaklore Grigio be laid with?

  Oaklore Grigio 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.
