Oaklore Nero

Most dark floors go wrong because the surface is smooth and every footprint shows on it. Oaklore Nero is dark grey with a deep rustic texture, which is why it survives a house with dogs and kids better than a glossy black would. It is a strong pick for a media room, a study, or any floor you want to disappear under pale furniture. Six random faces means a good spread of grain across the room. Keep it indoors. Each plank is 200 x 1200 mm in glazed ceramic, 9 to 9.5 mm thick, packed 5 to a box for 1.20 m2 of coverage at 25 kg.
