Oaklore Beige

At 1400 mm each board carries a longer run of printed grain before the design starts over, so a plank reads closer to one piece of timber than the 200 x 1200 mm version of the same tile does. Oaklore Beige is the golden honey of the range, warm without going orange under artificial light. Its deep rustic texture keeps glare off the floor and gives more grip underfoot than a smooth face. Six random faces is a modest count for a floor this size, so pull planks from four or five boxes at once rather than one box at a time. Planks are 200 x 1400 mm in glazed ceramic at 9 to 9.5 mm, 4 to a box, 1.12 m2 and 24 kg.
