D26-27565

Australian sun is hard on a stained timber floor. Shift a rug after two summers and a darker rectangle sits where it was, and the boards nearest the glass have gone lighter than the ones in the middle of the room. A printed glazed face does not move like that, so this red brown stays the colour it was under the window and everywhere else. Eight random faces is a high count, which lets a large floor run on without the eye catching the same plank twice. The surface is a deep matt texture. Planks are 200 x 1200 mm in glazed ceramic at 9 to 9.5 mm, 5 to a box, 1.20 m2 and 25 kg.
