Caleste Greyses

Nine random faces is the reason to pick this one. On the ground floor of a semi-D, where hall, dining and dry kitchen run together as one sheet of flooring, a low face count starts to read as a pattern from across the room. Caleste Greyses does not. The colour is grey, close to balau that has silvered after a few seasons outdoors, and the satin texture face is lightly textured and simple to mop. Planks are 200 x 1000 mm, 5 per box, 1.00 m2 covered and 20 kg per box. Order the whole area in one go and the repeat stays out of sight.

• Does Caleste Greyses cope with Malaysian humidity?

  Yes. Caleste Greyses 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 Caleste Greyses 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 Caleste Greyses?

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

• How do I clean Caleste Greyses?

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