Frassino

The trade in Frassino is easy cleaning against grip. Its satin plain face is smooth, so a mop clears it in one pass with nothing caught in a texture. That also means no grip advantage and more visible dust, which rules it out of a wet kitchen, a bathroom and anywhere outdoors. A dry kitchen, a bedroom or a condominium living room is where it belongs. Warm chestnut keeps it mid brown and forgiving on marks. Six random faces will run a whole unit without repeating. Each box holds five 200 x 1200 mm planks, 1.20 m2 laid, 25 kg, on a 9 to 9.5 mm glazed ceramic body.

• Is Frassino suitable for a humid home?

  Yes. Frassino 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 Frassino 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 Frassino?

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

• How do I clean Frassino?

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