T4-465404

Read the surface before the rating on this one. Satin texture is a light relief, so while the tile is rated outdoor it gives more grip underfoot than a smooth face, though Matt Texture is the better call at a pool surround or an open step. Under a roof it is easy work. A verandah or a covered entertaining area sweeps and hoses down in one go. The pale natural clear stain keeps the space light, and five random faces are enough for a normal sized patio if you mix cartons. Five planks per box, 200 x 1000 mm, 1.00 m2 and 20 kg. Glazed ceramic between 9 and 9.5 mm thick.
