NR-142008

Houses finished through the nineties are full of honey toned doors, architraves and skirtings, and replacing all of that during a floor job is rarely in the budget. A golden honey floor close to Tasmanian oak keeps the new work in the same family as the joinery that stays. NR-142008 carries twelve random faces, the top of this size, so the tile can run through every room that joinery reaches without a repeat turning up. The satin texture gives a shallow grain you can feel and hands back less glare than a smooth face. Planks are 200 x 1400 mm in glazed ceramic at 9 to 9.5 mm, 4 per box, 1.12 m2 and 24 kg.

• How many square metres are in a carton of NR-142008?

  Each carton holds 4 planks of 20 x 140 cm and covers 1.12 m², at about 24 kg. NR-142008 is a timber look tile with a satin textured face.

• How many cartons of NR-142008 for a 28 m² open plan kitchen and dining area?

  Add 10 percent to 28 m² for cuts and breakage, which gives 30.8 m². At 1.12 m² a carton that is 28 cartons.

• Can NR-142008 go in an alfresco area?

  No, NR-142008 is rated for interior use. For a covered alfresco or verandah, choose one of Metro's designs rated for outdoor use.

• What grout joint should NR-142008 be laid with?

  NR-142008 is a curve-edge plank rather than a rectified one, so lay it with a 3 to 5 mm joint. That spacing takes up the small natural variation along the plank and reads like the gap between real boards.
