Oaklore Cemento

Oaklore Cemento in this size runs the gray oak tone through the longest plank available: 8 x 56 inches, matte textured, six random faces per design, glazed ceramic at 9 to 9.5 mm, a carton of 4 covering 12.05 sq ft at 24 kg. A long plank in a concrete leaning gray reads closer to a poured floor than a shorter one does, with fewer joints breaking the surface, which suits a loft or a converted industrial space. Gray takes white, black and steel without adjustment. The matte face grips in a kitchen and shows no glare.
