D9-1509

Buyers choosing a dark floor for a condominium unit usually worry about dust. Tuscan coffee is a deep brown, and it does show more than a pale tile, but the satin texture face breaks up the light and softens what settles, unlike a smooth dark surface that reveals every speck. Nine random faces keeps a long open plan living area free of visible repeats. It suits a unit with plenty of window light, where a dark floor grounds the room instead of closing it in. Planks are 150 x 900 mm, packed 8 per box for 1.08 m2 of coverage, weighing 22 kg. Sweep before mopping and it stays sharp.
