NRC-301

NRC-301 combines a red leaning cinnamon with a satin face where the grain sits in light relief. Three random faces covers a bedroom or a study; on a larger floor, blend cartons before setting so the faces spread out. Planks are 6 x 36 inches in glazed ceramic at 9 to 9.5 mm, 8 per carton for 11.62 sq ft and 22 kg. The tone reads like freshly oiled timber and holds its own against cream walls and dark furniture. A textured wood look tile feels more like real board underfoot than a smooth glaze does, which is an argument for it in a bedroom or a bath.

• How many square feet does a box of NRC-301 cover?

  NRC-301 comes in 6 x 36 inch planks, 8 to a box. One box covers 11.62 sq ft and weighs about 49 lb.

• How many boxes of NRC-301 do I need for a 12 x 15 ft family room?

  A 12 x 15 ft room is 180 sq ft. With 10 percent added for cuts and breakage that is 198 sq ft, or 18 boxes at 11.62 sq ft each.

• Can NRC-301 go over radiant floor heating?

  Yes. It is a glazed ceramic plank 9 to 9.5 mm thick, so it does not gap, cup or split as the floor warms, and it has no 80°F (27°C) surface limit the way engineered wood does.

• What grout joint does NRC-301 need?

  NRC-301 is a curve-edge plank, not rectified, so plan on a joint of 3 to 5 mm, about 1/8 to 3/16 inch. The wider joint gives each board its own line, the way real planks sit.
