Oaklore Taupe

Oaklore Taupe sits between Oaklore Beige and Oaklore Nero: dark enough to hide dust and give a room weight, warm enough that it does not feel severe. In the longest plank available it becomes the standard bedroom and living area floor for a house being finished to sell, since it needs no explaining to a buyer and shows fewer joints than the shorter version. The deep rustic texture grips underfoot and returns no glare. Six random faces carries a whole floor. Planks are 200 x 1400 mm in glazed ceramic at 9 to 9.5 mm, 4 per box, 1.12 m2 and 24 kg.
