D12-25102

D12-25102 carries a nutmeg brown, close to pale spotted gum, on a smooth satin plain face. With four random faces it is the least varied tile in the D12 series, and that is a real constraint on a plank 1200 mm long: laid straight from one box the repeat becomes obvious down a hallway. Open four or five boxes and mix the planks before starting. Used in a bedroom or a study, where the run is short, the low count barely registers. Planks are 200 x 1200 mm in glazed ceramic at 9 to 9.5 mm, 5 per box, 1.20 m2, 25 kg.

• How many square metres are in a carton of D12-25102?

  Each carton holds 5 planks of 20 x 120 cm and covers 1.20 m², at about 25 kg. D12-25102 is a timber look tile with a smooth satin face.

• How many cartons of D12-25102 for a 16 m² rumpus room?

  Add 10 percent to 16 m² for cuts and breakage, which gives 17.6 m². At 1.20 m² a carton that is 15 cartons.

• Can D12-25102 go in an alfresco area?

  No, D12-25102 is rated for interior use. For a covered alfresco or verandah, choose one of Metro's designs rated for outdoor use.

• What grout joint should D12-25102 be laid with?

  D12-25102 is a curve-edge plank rather than a rectified one, so lay it with a 3 to 5 mm joint. That spacing takes up the small natural variation along the plank and reads like the gap between real boards.
