T1-465401

One random face is the thing to know first. Every plank carries the same printed grain, so this belongs on a small area, a landing, a narrow verandah or a run of steps, where the eye takes it in at once. Stagger the joints and it reads fine. The pale natural clear stain is a blackbutt tone that stays cooler underfoot in summer sun than a dark tile does, and the satin texture gives some tooth without being rough. It is rated outdoor, so a covered patio, verandah or balcony is fair use. Five planks to a box at 200 x 1000 mm, 1.00 m2, 20 kg, glazed ceramic 9 to 9.5 mm.
