S6-17117

Nyatoh and meranti give Malaysian houses their familiar mid red brown, and S6-17117 lands in the same family with a merlot tone that reads warm under yellow light. The upper floor of a shophouse or an older link house takes it well, particularly where the doors and staircase railings are already red brown. Six random faces are sufficient for bedrooms and landings. The satin plain surface is smooth, quick to mop, and shows dust sooner than a textured face, so this is an indoor floor only. Every box carries 5 planks of 200 x 1000 mm, 1.00 m2 of coverage and 20 kg of weight.

• Will S6-17117 swell in a humid climate?

  No. S6-17117 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 S6-17117 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 S6-17117?

  S6-17117 works on floors and walls in master bedrooms, living rooms, cafes and feature walls. It is rated for interior use.

• What upkeep does S6-17117 need?

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