Madera Teak

The rustic texture is the reason to look at Madera Teak. It is the deepest surface in the range, with real grip underfoot and no glare from a window or a downlight, and it holds dust far less obviously than a smooth floor. That makes it the sensible choice for a wet area, an ensuite floor or a kitchen where water lands. Eighteen random faces backs it up, so even a whole ground floor lays without repeating. Warm chestnut reads close to brushbox. Planks are 200 x 1000 mm, five per box, 1.00 m2 and 20 kg. Matt does take a little more effort to mop clean than a smooth face.

• How many square metres are in a carton of Madera Teak?

  Each carton holds 5 planks of 20 x 100 cm and covers 1.00 m², at about 20 kg. Madera Teak is a timber look tile with a matte textured face.

• How many cartons of Madera Teak for a 28 m² open plan kitchen and dining area?

  Add 10 percent to 28 m² for cuts and breakage, which gives 30.8 m². At 1.00 m² a carton that is 31 cartons.

• Can Madera Teak go in an alfresco area?

  No, Madera Teak 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 Madera Teak be laid with?

  Madera Teak 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.
