NRC-402

NRC-402 is a warm chestnut on a satin face with grain in light relief and six random faces per design. Planks measure 6 x 36 inches in glazed ceramic at 9 to 9.5 mm, a carton of 8 covering 11.62 sq ft at 22 kg. The tone runs unusually even, which recommends it for rooms where the floor should stay in the background: galleries, clinics, a living room with art on the walls. Chestnut wood look tile takes oak, white and black equally well. In a bath the satin texture suits the floor, paired with white wall tile and wood cabinetry.

• How is NRC-402 sold?

  NRC-402 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-402 do I need for a 10 x 12 ft bedroom?

  A 10 x 12 ft room is 120 sq ft. With 10 percent added for cuts and breakage that is 132 sq ft, or 12 boxes at 11.62 sq ft each.

• Can NRC-402 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-402 need?

  NRC-402 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.
