D26-27564

D26-27564 is a reddish merlot with a matte textured face and just two random faces per design. Planks are 8 x 48 inches in glazed ceramic at 9 to 9.5 mm, 5 per carton for 12.91 sq ft and 25 kg. Two faces gives a very uniform floor, the way a sorted clear grade board looks once the knots have been culled, which is what some rooms want: a bedroom, a hotel room, an office where the floor should not draw attention. It is the opposite intent from D26-27565, which carries the same color across eight faces for a lively surface. Merlot sits with cream walls, dark wood and brass.
