Oaklore Taupe

Oaklore Taupe sits between gray and beige, and in this size it comes with a matte textured face. Six 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. Taupe is the answer when gray feels too cold and brown too warm, and the matte surface keeps it grippy for a kitchen or bathroom while returning no glare. It goes with white, sage, black and oak, and hides dust better than a white floor. In the wider plank it makes living rooms and hallways feel generous. Also produced in 6 x 36, 8 x 48 and 8 x 56 inch planks.
