D19-20903

Staircases and landings in a link house are where grip actually matters, with children running barefoot and wet slippers coming in from the garden. D19-20903 handles that with a deep matt texture that grips underfoot and does not show every speck of dust. Warm chestnut is a mid brown that hides the odd scuff better than a pale floor would. Five random faces is middling, so lay from two or three open boxes at a time. Solid timber on stairs cups through the wet months and attracts termites. This does not. Five 200 x 1200 mm planks per box, 1.20 m2, about 25 kg.

• Is D19-20903 suitable for a humid home?

  Yes. D19-20903 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 D19-20903 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.
