D26-27564

Two random faces is the plain fact to plan around here. With only two printed faces the same plank comes up often, so open four or five boxes at a time, mix the planks before laying, and keep the run to smaller rooms. A guest room, a study or a single bedroom suits it. The merlot red brown carries the same warm meranti tone as the rest of that group, and the matt texture gives it depth and grip. Boxes hold five 200 x 1200 mm planks, 1.20 m2, 25 kg. Handled that way it lays well. Spread across a whole ground floor without mixing, the repeat will show.
