D26-27552

Nutmeg on a deep matt texture is the most forgiving combination in the D26 series. The colour sits close to spotted gum and hides dust, the texture returns no glare from a hard afternoon sun through a west facing window, and neither reads as dated in five years. That makes it the pick for a house someone intends to live in rather than sell. Five random faces covers a room or two, so mix boxes for a larger floor. Each plank is 200 x 1200 mm in glazed ceramic at 9 to 9.5 mm, and a box of 5 covers 1.20 m2 at 25 kg.

• How many square metres are in a carton of D26-27552?

• How many cartons of D26-27552 for a 20 m² living area?

• Can D26-27552 go in an alfresco area?
