NRC-712

Warm chestnut is a mid brown, and it sits well against the dark kitchen cabinets going into most link houses now. NRC-712 prints it across seven random faces, so a hall and dining area laid in one direction will not show an obvious repeat from the doorway. The surface is satin plain, which is smooth. It mops in one pass, but it shows dust sooner than a textured face and gives no extra grip, so keep it to the dry kitchen and hall rather than the wet kitchen. Boxes hold 8 planks at 150 x 900 mm, giving 1.08 m2 of coverage at 22 kg.

• Will NRC-712 swell in a humid climate?

  No. NRC-712 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-712 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-712?

  NRC-712 works on floors and walls in living and dining areas, study rooms and corridors. It is rated for interior use.

• What upkeep does NRC-712 need?

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