Mapple Wood Red

A hall furnished with older merbau pieces is where Mapple Wood Red makes sense. The merlot red brown sits in the same family as that timber, so a floor and a set of inherited furniture do not fight each other. Four random faces is low, so the tiler should mix planks from every box, and a very long run will still show its hand. Satin plain means the face is smooth: fast to mop, quick to show dust, no help underfoot when wet. Keep it to dry rooms. Five planks of 200 x 1000 mm come in a box, covering 1.00 m2 and weighing 20 kg.

• Will Mapple Wood Red swell in a humid climate?

  No. Mapple Wood Red 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 Mapple Wood Red for a 3 x 4 m bedroom?

  A 3 x 4 m room is 12 m². With 10 percent extra for cutting, that is 14 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 Mapple Wood Red?

• What upkeep does Mapple Wood Red need?

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