D12-25102

Teak reads as a warm nutmeg brown, and that is the colour D12-25102 prints. It is a good match for a small apartment where a single floor colour runs through hall, bedroom and dry kitchen. The satin plain surface is smooth and mops fast, though dust shows on it and it gives no grip, so keep it away from the wet kitchen. Four random faces is the drawback. In a compact unit you see the whole floor at once, which makes a repeat obvious, so open every box first and mix the planks. Planks are 200 x 1200 mm, five per box, 1.20 m2, 25 kg.

• Will D12-25102 swell in a humid climate?

  No. D12-25102 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 D12-25102 for a 3 x 4 m bedroom?

  A 3 x 4 m room is 12 m². With 10 percent extra for cutting, that is 11 boxes, since each box of 5 planks (20 x 120 cm) covers 1.20 m² and weighs about 25 kg.

• Which rooms in a condo or landed house suit D12-25102?

  D12-25102 works on floors and walls in living and dining areas, study rooms and corridors. It is rated for interior use.

• What upkeep does D12-25102 need?

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