Conejo Hardwood

Rated for outdoor use, Conejo Hardwood is the one to take out onto a patio, a pool deck or a covered walkway. The deep matt texture is the grippiest surface here, it keeps its footing when rain blows in, and it hides dust rather than showing every mark. Merlot is the red brown of merbau decking, the colour most Malaysian outdoor timber starts at before it greys off. Six random faces gives reasonable variation across a long terrace run. Real merbau needs oiling every year in this climate. This does not. Boxes carry five 200 x 1200 mm planks, 1.20 m2, around 25 kg.

• Is Conejo Hardwood suitable for a humid home?

  Yes. Conejo Hardwood 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 Conejo Hardwood 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 28 boxes, since each box of 5 planks (20 x 120 cm) covers 1.20 m² and weighs about 25 kg.

• Can Conejo Hardwood go on a balcony or porch?

  Yes. Conejo Hardwood is rated for outdoor use, so covered balconies, porches and walkways can have a wood deck look without the upkeep of real timber.

• What upkeep does Conejo Hardwood need?

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