D26-27557

Owners of condominium units usually want the floor to stay quiet so the room feels larger, and a mid grey does that better than a strong brown. The tone sits near balau that has silvered off outdoors, cool but not blue. Matt texture means no shine bouncing off a floor to ceiling window, and better grip near the balcony door where rain gets tracked in. Five random faces cover a typical two or three bedroom unit without a pattern showing. Planks are 200 x 1200 mm, five per box, 1.20 m2 laid, 25 kg to carry up in the service lift. At 9 to 9.5 mm it adds little height over an existing screed.
