D12-25104

A hall in a bungalow can carry a strong floor colour, and merlot is exactly that, a deep red brown that anchors a large room. D12-25104 prints it on seven random faces, enough variation that a wide open plan area reads as timber rather than as tile. The satin plain surface is smooth. It mops end to end in one pass and needs sweeping fairly often, since dust is visible on a dark floor. There is no grip benefit, so leave the wet kitchen to a matt design. A box holds five 200 x 1200 mm planks, 1.20 m2, about 25 kg.

• Is D12-25104 suitable for a humid home?

  Yes. D12-25104 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 D12-25104 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.

• What upkeep does D12-25104 need?

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