D19-20905

D19-20905 shares its warm chestnut and deep matt texture with D19-20903, and the case for it is a room that already has plenty going on. Where a floor has to sit under rugs, artwork and patterned furniture, the quieter of two similar tiles is the better choice, and this is the one to take. The matt face still grips for a hallway or a bathroom and shows no glare. Five random faces means boxes should be mixed before laying. Each plank is 200 x 1200 mm in glazed ceramic at 9 to 9.5 mm, 5 to a box, 1.20 m2, 25 kg.
