Merrick Pine

Golden honey on Merrick Pine leans lighter and yellower than most wood look tile in this size, which suits a children's room or a family area where you want the floor to feel bright. Rustic texture means no glare bouncing off the ceiling lights and more grip underfoot for anyone running about. Dust settles into the texture rather than sitting on top, so the floor looks clean for longer between sweeps. The design carries five random faces, low enough that boxes should be opened together and shuffled. Format is 150 x 900 mm, 8 planks to a box, 1.08 m2 covered, 22 kg to lift.

• Does Merrick Pine cope with Malaysian humidity?

  Yes. Merrick Pine 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 Merrick Pine for a 5 x 6 m living and dining area?

  A 5 x 6 m room is 30 m². With 10 percent extra for cutting, that is 31 boxes, since each box of 8 planks (15 x 90 cm) covers 1.08 m² and weighs about 22 kg.

• Which rooms in a condo or landed house suit Merrick Pine?

  Merrick Pine works on floors and walls in master bedrooms, living rooms, cafes and feature walls. It is rated for interior use.

• What upkeep does Merrick Pine need?

  Sweep, then mop with a mild floor cleaner. The glazed satin textured face needs no oiling, sanding or polish.
