NRC-309

Nutmeg is the warm brown people usually mean when they say teak, and it carries the same yellow undertone under evening light. A dining hall or a formal living area in a landed property is where it earns its keep, since the colour holds its own against heavy furniture. Six random faces let a long run pass without an obvious repeat. The satin texture is lightly textured, so it grips a little better than a smooth face and does not glare under downlights. Each box carries 8 planks of 150 x 900 mm, 1.08 m2 of floor and 22 kg. Termites are not a consideration with glazed ceramic, which real teak cannot claim.

• Does NRC-309 cope with Malaysian humidity?

  Yes. NRC-309 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-309 for a 4 x 5 m living room?

  A 4 x 5 m room is 20 m². With 10 percent extra for cutting, that is 21 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-309?

  NRC-309 works on floors and walls in family halls, bedrooms, shoplots and offices. It is rated for interior use.

• How do I clean NRC-309?

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