NRC-501

This is one of the outdoor rated planks, meant for a car porch, a covered walkway, a balcony or a patio that catches driven rain through the monsoon. Cinnamon holds the nyatoh tone that decking timber loses, and there is no annual oiling and no termite risk. The catch is the face count. One printed face means every plank is identical, so lay it in narrow runs such as a car porch strip or a walkway, where a repeat is not obvious, and stagger the joints. The satin texture is lightly textured rather than fully matt, so keep it to covered areas rather than an open pool surround. Boxes hold 8 planks of 150 x 900 mm, 1.08 m2, 22 kg.

• Does NRC-501 cope with Malaysian humidity?

  Yes. NRC-501 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-501 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.

• Can NRC-501 go on a balcony or porch?

  Yes. NRC-501 is rated for outdoor use, so covered balconies, porches and walkways can have a wood deck look without the upkeep of real timber.

• How do I clean NRC-501?

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