Madera Teak

Madera Teak in the 8 x 40 inch plank gives the warm chestnut of teak with a matte, textured grain and eighteen random faces. The wider board reads more generous than the 6 x 36 inch version and suits rooms from about 200 square feet up. Glazed ceramic at 9 to 9.5 mm, a carton of 5 covering 10.76 sq ft at 20 kg. Eighteen faces keeps even a restaurant floor free of a visible repeat. The matte surface returns no glare and grips well enough for a bathroom or an entry. Madera Teak is also made in 6 x 36, 8 x 48 and 8 x 56 inch planks, so one design can run through rooms of different scale.
