T6-465406

A small apartment balcony is the situation this suits. Four random faces is a low count, but across six or eight square metres nobody picks the repeat, and opening two cartons and shuffling the planks handles the rest. The pale natural clear stain bounces light back into the room behind it, which helps on a south facing balcony that never gets sun. The surface is satin texture, a light relief, so it still mops quickly while giving more grip underfoot, and it wants to stay under cover rather than out in the weather. Five planks to a box, 200 x 1000 mm, 1.00 m2 and 20 kg. Glazed ceramic, 9 to 9.5 mm, outdoor rated.

• How many cartons of T6-465406 for a 16 m² rumpus room?

• Can T6-465406 go in an alfresco area?

  Yes. T6-465406 is rated for outdoor use, so a covered alfresco, verandah or balcony can have a timber deck look that never needs oiling or re-staining.

• What grout joint should T6-465406 be laid with?
