White Pine

Grey timber look flooring stayed popular because it does not fight anything else in an apartment. White Pine is a light grey with the look of hardwood that has silvered off outdoors, brought back inside. Its surface is satin plain, smooth, so a mop clears it in one pass, though the flip side is that dust and lint turn up on a pale smooth floor sooner than they would on matt. Five random faces suits a unit or a single room rather than a full house. Keep it away from wet areas. Planks are 200 x 1200 mm in glazed ceramic, 9 to 9.5 mm, 5 to a box, 1.20 m2, 25 kg.
