NRC-306

Choosing between a red brown and a neutral brown usually comes down to the furniture already in the house, and merlot works when the doors, frames and cabinets are dark to begin with. It suits a shophouse conversion or an older terrace with joinery worth keeping. Five random faces are enough for a hall, but mix boxes as you lay so two identical planks do not end up side by side. The satin texture gives a light grain underfoot and stays easy to clean. Each box has 8 planks of 150 x 900 mm, 1.08 m2 of coverage, 22 kg. Unlike solid timber, it will not swell and gap once monsoon humidity climbs.

• Will NRC-306 swell in a humid climate?

  No. NRC-306 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 NRC-306 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.

• Which rooms in a condo or landed house suit NRC-306?

  NRC-306 works on floors and walls in living and dining areas, study rooms and corridors. It is rated for interior use.

• What upkeep does NRC-306 need?

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