White Pine

Redoing a condominium living room without moving walls limits what you can change, and the floor ends up carrying most of it. White Pine is grey on a satin plain surface, the combination that reads more like painted board than raw timber, and it lightens a room without forcing the rest of the renovation to follow. Smooth means one pass with the mop and no texture holding grit. It also means dust shows sooner and there is no added grip, so the balcony door is where this floor should stop. Five random faces covers a living room. Boxes hold 5 planks at 200 x 1200 mm, 1.20 m2, 25 kg.

• Is White Pine suitable for a humid home?

  Yes. White Pine 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 White Pine 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 White Pine?

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

• How do I clean White Pine?

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