Oaklore Bianco

Oaklore Bianco in this size has a matte textured face, where the 6 x 36 inch version is smooth satin. Six 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. That texture takes the chill off the white and adds grip, which makes this the better of the two for a shower floor or a bathroom. White wood look tile is the base for coastal and Scandinavian rooms and lifts a windowless space. In the wider plank it reads closer to a limewashed farmhouse board than a strip floor. Also produced in 6 x 36, 8 x 48 and 8 x 56 inch planks.

• How many boxes of Oaklore Bianco do I need for a 12 x 14 ft living room?

• Can Oaklore Bianco go over radiant floor heating?
