D26-27553

Timber parquet that has cupped and lifted is the usual reason an older house gets a new floor, and D26-27553 is a straight replacement for it. The golden honey colour lands close to what a varnished parquet hall looked like when it was new. A deep matt texture replaces the shine, which means better grip, no glare and dust that does not show. Five random faces gives ordinary variety, so open more than one box as you lay. Unlike the parquet it replaces, glazed ceramic does not swell in the wet months or feed termites. Five planks to a box, 200 x 1200 mm, 1.20 m2, 25 kg.
