Oaklore Bianco

White pushes a small room outwards, and Oaklore Bianco is a limewashed oak white with the grain still visible rather than a blank slab. In a condominium bedroom with a low ceiling, it lifts the whole room. The rustic texture carries a deep grain relief, so it grips underfoot, kills glare from a ceiling light and hides dust better than a smooth white would. Six random faces covers a bedroom or a study comfortably, though a long open floor wants the boxes mixed first. Planks are 200 x 1000 mm, five in a box, 1.00 m2 of coverage at 20 kg. Grout colour matters more with white.

• Is Oaklore Bianco suitable for a humid home?

  Yes. Oaklore Bianco 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 Oaklore Bianco 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 Oaklore Bianco?

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

• What upkeep does Oaklore Bianco need?

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