P5-21085

White here is a limewashed oak rather than a flat paint white, with the grain still legible through it. That makes it useful in an apartment or a small bedroom where a darker floor closes the room down. There are only four random faces, so open several cartons and mix the planks before you start laying, otherwise the repeat shows up along a straight run. The satin texture is lightly textured, close to the feel of sanded board, and still wipes clean easily. Boxes hold five planks at 200 x 1000 mm, 1.00 m2 and 20 kg. Glazed ceramic 9 to 9.5 mm thick, for indoor use.

• What grout joint should P5-21085 be laid with?
