Oaklore Wallnut

Dark floors anchor a room, and Oaklore Wallnut gives you walnut depth without the refinishing schedule real walnut demands. Twelve random faces is a high count for this format, so knots and grain shift from board to board instead of repeating every few rows. The matte surface keeps ceiling lights and window glare off the floor, which matters in rooms with a lot of glass. Each 6 x 36 inch plank is glazed ceramic at 9 to 9.5 mm, and a carton of 8 covers 11.62 sq ft at 22 kg. Pair it with pale walls, brass hardware and light oak furniture in a living room, entry or media room.
