Oaklore Cemento

Grey is the easiest colour to build a room around, and Oaklore Cemento keeps it quiet rather than cold. The rustic texture carries a deep grain relief, so it grips underfoot, throws no glare back at ceiling lights and hides the fine dust that settles in a dry kitchen between mopping days. Six random faces spread across a hall floor without an obvious repeat, though laying from two boxes at once still gives the best mix. Each box holds 5 planks of 200 x 1000 mm, covers 1.00 m2 and weighs 20 kg. Glazed ceramic, 9 to 9.5 mm thick, so humidity does not move it the way solid timber moves.

• Will Oaklore Cemento swell in a humid climate?

  No. Oaklore Cemento 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 Cemento for a 3 x 3 m bedroom?

  A 3 x 3 m room is 9 m². With 10 percent extra for cutting, that is 10 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 Cemento?

  Oaklore Cemento works on floors and walls in bedrooms, living areas, hallways and home offices. It is rated for interior use.

• How do I clean Oaklore Cemento?

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