Oaklore Grigro

Oaklore Grigro carries the pale tone of oak finished with a clear coat rather than a stain, matte textured, six random faces per design. Planks are 8 x 48 inches in glazed ceramic at 9 to 9.5 mm, a carton of 5 covering 12.91 sq ft at 25 kg. Unstained oak is the least committed floor in the range: it takes on the color of whatever is put in the room rather than setting it, which is why it holds up through repainting and new furniture. It works in a Scandinavian scheme with white and gray, and equally under strong color. The matte face gives grip in a bathroom.
