Belmond Mercury

Grey reads cool and quiet, which is why it suits a condominium hall that already takes strong afternoon light. Belmond Mercury carries six random faces, so a 30 square metre living area lays without an obvious repeating plank. The satin texture surface is lightly textured, close to sanded board under bare feet, and it still wipes clean with a normal mop. Each plank measures 200 x 1000 mm and the box holds 5 pieces covering 1.00 m2 at 20 kg, light enough for one person to carry up in a lift. Glazed ceramic will not cup or gap through the monsoon the way solid timber does.

• Is Belmond Mercury suitable for a humid home?

  Yes. Belmond Mercury 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 Belmond Mercury 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 22 boxes, since each box of 5 planks (20 x 100 cm) covers 1.00 m² and weighs about 20 kg.

• Which rooms in a condo or landed house suit Belmond Mercury?

  Belmond Mercury works on floors and walls in family halls, bedrooms, shoplots and offices. It is rated for interior use.

• How do I clean Belmond Mercury?

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