D26-27559

Rumpus rooms take scooters, textas, spilt cordial and half the backyard walked in on small feet. Grey carries all of that without having to be spotless to look right, and the deep matt texture keeps socks and bare feet steady when someone runs the length of it. Ceramic also refuses to dent the way a coated timber board does, and a dent in timber stays visible for the life of the floor. D26-27559 is a mid grey with five random faces, a fair count for a room this size. Planks are 200 x 1200 mm in glazed ceramic at 9 to 9.5 mm, 5 per box, 1.20 m2 and 25 kg.

• What does a carton of D26-27559 cover?

• What grout joint should D26-27559 be laid with?
