NR-142009

Take the landing and three bedrooms of a semi-D as one job and the floor has to hold together across all of them. NR-142009 does that with twelve random faces, so no two planks near each other look alike. The colour is nutmeg, a warm mid brown that suits both white and dark timber doors. Its satin texture reads like lightly sanded board underfoot, which is safer than a smooth finish on a landing next to a staircase. Planks are 200 x 1400 mm, packed 4 to a box, covering 1.12 m2 and weighing 24 kg, light enough to carry upstairs in one trip.

• Will NR-142009 swell in a humid climate?

  No. NR-142009 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 NR-142009 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 NR-142009?

  NR-142009 works on floors and walls in family halls, bedrooms, shoplots and offices. It is rated for interior use.

• How do I clean NR-142009?

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