Hannah Nut Base/Decor

Landlords fitting out a rental or a homestay tend to want a floor that hides scuffs between tenants. Tuscan coffee, a dark brown, does that, and the satin texture face adds enough grain to disguise the light scratching a smooth tile would put on display. Four random faces is the weak point, so boxes must be mixed as they are laid. Across a small unit the repeat is less noticeable than it would be in a large hall. Planks come in at 150 x 900 mm, 8 to a box, 1.08 m2 of coverage and 22 kg. Glazed ceramic also takes dragged furniture better than laminate does.

• Will Hannah Nut Base/Decor swell in a humid climate?

  No. Hannah Nut Base/Decor is glazed ceramic with 6 to 8 percent water absorption, so humid months do not make it swell, cup or warp the way timber and laminate can.

• How many boxes of Hannah Nut Base/Decor for a 3 x 4 m bedroom?

  A 3 x 4 m room is 12 m². With 10 percent extra for cutting, that is 13 boxes, since each box of 8 planks (15 x 90 cm) covers 1.08 m² and weighs about 22 kg.
