Oaklore Cemento

Grey reads as weathered hardwood here, the silvered look of a fence board that has had twenty years of sun on it. Six random faces mean a large open plan floor runs without an obvious repeat. The rustic texture carries a deep grain relief, so it grips underfoot, kills the glare from a north facing window and hides dust between mops. Planks are 200 x 1000 mm and come five to a box, covering 1.00 m2 and weighing 20 kg. It is glazed ceramic at 9 to 9.5 mm, rated indoor, so keep it to living areas, hallways and bedrooms rather than the verandah.
