D19-20904

New launch condominium units are tight, and a pale floor is the usual way to make one feel less so. D19-20904 carries a natural clear stain colour, pale and close to a limed oak, on a deep matt texture. The matt surface is the practical part. It hides dust, which a pale smooth floor would not, and it holds grip near a balcony door or a shower threshold. Five random faces is fair for a unit of that size, though it is worth opening a few boxes and mixing. Planks come at 200 x 1200 mm, five in a box, 1.20 m2 of coverage, roughly 25 kg.

• Will D19-20904 swell in a humid climate?

  No. D19-20904 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 D19-20904 for a 4 x 5 m living room?

  A 4 x 5 m room is 20 m². With 10 percent extra for cutting, that is 19 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 D19-20904?

  D19-20904 works on floors and walls in family halls, bedrooms, shoplots and offices. It is rated for interior use.

• How do I clean D19-20904?

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