NRC-334

NRC-334 is a dark coffee brown on a satin textured face, specified with big areas in mind. Five random faces per design, 6 x 36 inch planks in glazed ceramic at 9 to 9.5 mm, a carton of 8 covering 11.62 sq ft at 22 kg. Set against NRC-305, the grain here is more even, which reads calmer across a store floor or a hotel lobby. Dark wood look tile conceals shoe marks and scuffs and pairs with brass, leather and white walls. In a house it belongs in rooms with plenty of daylight, where a dark floor grounds the space rather than closing it in.

• What comes in a box of NRC-334?

  NRC-334 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-334 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-334 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-334 need?

  NRC-334 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.
