One plank is 0.24 square metres. A box of 5 covers 1.20 square metres.
PLANK FORMAT
Why Choose the 200x1200mm Format
The 200x1200mm plank is Metro's second-largest catalogue by design count, with 61 options across Oaklore, Belmond, D19, D26 and other series. Each box holds 5 tiles covering 1.20 square metres at 25 kg, giving strong per-box coverage for open-plan living and dining areas.
Every design in this size shares the same specification: glazed ceramic construction, curve-edge (non-rectified) profile, 9 to 9.5 MM thickness, and 6-8% water absorption. The longer plank reduces the number of grout lines across a large floor compared with 150x900mm or 200x1000mm, which is why architects often specify it for open-plan renovations. Filter by colour or finish above to compare designs in this size.
Where the 200x1200mm plank works
A 1200mm board covers ground quickly and cuts the number of grout lines across a large floor, which is why this size is specified most often for open plan living and dining areas, showrooms and offices. In a small room the same length works against you, because more of the planks end up cut at the walls.
Best coverage per box
At 1.20 square metres per box this size covers more floor per box than anything else in the range, including the longer 200x1400mm. On a large area that means fewer boxes to move, open and track, and less part used stock left at the end of the job.
Regular and IPE series
This format carries both the Regular Series and the IPE Series, so the same 200x1200mm proportion is available for indoor floors and for balconies and covered patios. Check the series on the individual product page before specifying for an outdoor application.
