Almond

An 8 x 48 inch plank is long enough to change how a room reads, drawing the eye down its length and making a space feel longer than it is. Almond uses that length in a dark coffee brown on a lightly textured satin face. Four random faces per design, glazed ceramic at 9 to 9.5 mm, a carton of 5 covering 12.91 sq ft at 25 kg. Long dark planks want a room of about 200 square feet or more and real daylight, or they close the space in. The light satin relief still mops fast, which matters in a dining room. Blend cartons before setting, since four faces is not many for a plank this size.

• Can Almond go over radiant floor heating?
