Penny Marfil Base/Decor

Renovators who want one feature strip in a kitchen or dining floor tend to look at Penny Marfil, since the decor tile matches the base plank exactly. The golden honey colour reads like blackbutt, warm without going orange. Its surface is a satin texture, lightly textured underfoot and still simple to mop. Four random faces is a low count, so pull from several cartons at once and shuffle the planks as you lay, or the pattern will read in rows. Each box has eight 150 x 900 mm planks, 1.08 m2 of coverage, and weighs 22 kg. Indoor rated.
