Madera Teak

Aged teak is the reference here. Madera Teak carries a warm chestnut tone with the nutmeg warmth found in old Malaysian furniture. Its rustic texture carries a deep grain relief, giving grip underfoot, no glare under afternoon light and a floor that does not report every speck of dust. The plank measures 200 x 1400 mm, and laid down a terrace house hall it leaves fewer grout lines across the same distance than the 1200 mm version does. Five random faces is on the low side, so open every box and shuffle the planks before laying. A box holds 4 pieces, covers 1.12 m2 and weighs 24 kg.

• Is Madera Teak suitable for a humid home?

  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 4 x 5 m living room?

  A 4 x 5 m room is 20 m². With 10 percent extra for cutting, that is 20 boxes, since each box of 4 planks (20 x 140 cm) covers 1.12 m² and weighs about 24 kg.

• Which rooms in a condo or landed house suit Madera Teak?

  Madera Teak works on floors and walls in family halls, bedrooms, shoplots and 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.
