Moire Beige

Moire Beige pairs a light honey gold with a matte, textured face. That combination is less common than it sounds: most light tiles come with a smooth glaze that throws window and downlight glare straight back at you. Five random faces per design, 8 x 40 inch planks in glazed ceramic at 9 to 9.5 mm, 5 per carton for 10.76 sq ft and 20 kg. The texture gives grip for a bathroom or kitchen while the pale tone lifts a small room or a windowless hall. Honey wood look tile goes with white, sage and terracotta. For the same color with a single face and a very even floor, look at Deckwood Beige.
