Sequoia Maroon Base/Decor

Sequoia Maroon is a dark coffee with a faint red cast on a satin face with raised grain. Base and decor are color matched, which takes the guesswork out of a kitchen with a tiled floor and a tiled range wall. Five random faces per design, 6 x 36 inch planks in glazed ceramic at 9 to 9.5 mm, 8 to a carton for 11.62 sq ft and 22 kg. Dark wood look tile wants daylight and pale walls; given those, it gives a room weight. In dining rooms, wine bars and hotel rooms it conceals wear. It sits with white, cream, brass and dark leather, straight set or in a herringbone.
