Madera Teak

Bedroom floors get walked on barefoot more than any other floor in the house, and that is where the deep rustic texture of Madera Teak earns its keep. It has a slight tooth underfoot, closer to a sanded plank than to polished tile, and it never turns cold or glassy. The warm chestnut colour sits a shade darker than raw teak and settles well against the dark wardrobes most people already own in a semi-D. Five random faces gives enough spread for a master bedroom and its walk in wardrobe without an obvious repeat. Boxes hold 5 planks of 200 x 1200 mm, 1.20 m2, 25 kg. Thickness is 9 to 9.5 mm.

• Does Madera Teak cope with Malaysian humidity?

  Yes. Madera Teak 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 Madera Teak for a 3 x 3 m bedroom?

  A 3 x 3 m room is 9 m². With 10 percent extra for cutting, that is 9 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 Madera Teak?

  Madera Teak works on floors and walls in bedrooms, living areas, hallways and home offices. It is rated for interior use.

• How do I clean Madera Teak?

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