Oaklore Grigio

Oaklore Grigio carries the light gray brown of weathered, untreated board with a matte textured grain, here in the wider 8 x 40 inch plank. Six random faces per design, glazed ceramic at 9 to 9.5 mm, 5 to a carton for 10.76 sq ft and 20 kg. Light gray wood look tile reads warmer than a flat gray because the brown in it holds some heat, and the wider board keeps a large room calm. The matte texture grips in a bathroom, kitchen or entry. Against white walls and light oak the result is Nordic; against black and concrete it turns plainer. Also produced in 6 x 36 and 8 x 56 inch planks.
