D26-27560

Sand and salt are hard on a coastal floor. Sand scratches a coated timber board and salt air gets into the coating, which is why beach houses end up recoating floors that a city house would not. D26-27560 is a limewashed white with delicate grain on a deep matt texture, so sand does not mark it and the surface still grips with wet feet coming in off the beach. The tone belongs with pale walls, linen and weathered timber furniture. Five random faces suits a holiday house. Planks are 200 x 1200 mm in glazed ceramic at 9 to 9.5 mm, 5 per box, covering 1.20 m2 at 25 kg.
