Oaklore Wallnut

Twelve random faces is double what most wood look tile designs carry, and it shows most on a large landed property ground floor, where a repeating plank is easiest to spot. Oaklore Wallnut is a merlot red brown, close in tone to nyatoh, and the rustic texture gives it the deep open grain that reads as real board rather than print. It suits a hall running into a dining area with no threshold between them. Each box holds 5 pieces at 200 x 1000 mm, 1.00 m2 of coverage, 20 kg. At 9 to 9.5 mm thick in glazed ceramic, it will not cup or gap the way timber does here.

• Does Oaklore Wallnut cope with Malaysian humidity?

  Yes. Oaklore Wallnut 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 Wallnut for a 5 x 6 m living and dining area?

  A 5 x 6 m room is 30 m². With 10 percent extra for cutting, that is 33 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 Wallnut?

  Oaklore Wallnut works on floors and walls in master bedrooms, living rooms, cafes and feature walls. It is rated for interior use.

• What upkeep does Oaklore Wallnut need?

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