Mapple Wood Brown

Maple has a fine, quiet grain with very little contrast, and Mapple Wood Brown keeps that in a nutmeg brown on a smooth satin face. Four random faces per design, 8 x 40 inch planks in glazed ceramic at 9 to 9.5 mm, 5 to a carton for 10.76 sq ft and 20 kg. Because the wood itself is even, the low face count shows less here than it would on a busy grain, though it is still worth blending cartons before setting a large floor. A calm floor suits a room that already has patterned rugs, art or a lot of furniture. Nutmeg hides dust and works with white, beige and oak.
