Oaklore Taupe

Stairs are the one place in a double storey terrace where surface grip is not a matter of taste. Oaklore Taupe uses the deep rustic texture, so a tread gives more grip underfoot than a smooth face, and its tuscan coffee colour hides the wear a staircase collects faster than any bedroom floor. Carry the same dark brown through the upstairs rooms and the landing stops looking like a join between two floors. Six random faces gives enough variation for a full first storey. Boxes hold 5 planks at 200 x 1200 mm, 1.20 m2, 25 kg. Cutting nosings from a 1200 mm plank leaves offcuts long enough to use elsewhere.

• Does Oaklore Taupe cope with Malaysian humidity?

  Yes. Oaklore Taupe 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 Oaklore Taupe 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 Oaklore Taupe?

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

• How do I clean Oaklore Taupe?

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