D6-15243

D6-15243 is a darker, more even reddish merlot than D6-15234, on a smooth satin face with five random faces per design. Planks are 8 x 40 inches in glazed ceramic at 9 to 9.5 mm, 5 per carton for 10.76 sq ft and 20 kg. The evenness is the point: across a large floor it reads calmer than a busier grain would. Red brown wood look tile brings warmth to dining rooms, wine bars and libraries and works with dark wood, cream walls and brass. The smooth glaze takes daily mopping. Laid in a herringbone the red comes forward further.
