D26-27562

Light globes change this floor. Golden honey already leans warm, so 2700K warm white LEDs push it further towards orange after dark, while a neutral 4000K globe keeps it near the tone you picked in the showroom. Decide the globes at the same time as the tile, because a living area is lit more hours than it is daylit. The face is a deep matt texture, which stops downlights laying a bright strip down the length of the planks. Six random faces is a generous count for a living and dining floor. 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.
