Oaklore Wallnut

Oaklore Wallnut pairs the two things that keep a tile floor from reading as tile: twelve random faces per design and the longest plank in the range at 8 x 56 inches. Matte textured, glazed ceramic at 9 to 9.5 mm, 4 to a carton for 12.05 sq ft and 24 kg. Twelve faces is double the rest of the Oaklore range, and on a 56 inch board a hotel lobby or a showroom can run a long way before anything repeats in view. Walnut suits dark furniture, brass and cream walls, and it hides dust better than the paler tones.

• How many boxes of Oaklore Wallnut do I need for a 12 x 15 ft family room?

• Can Oaklore Wallnut go over radiant floor heating?

  Yes. It is a glazed ceramic plank 9 to 9.5 mm thick, so it does not gap, cup or split as the floor warms, and it has no 80°F (27°C) surface limit the way engineered wood does.

• What grout joint does Oaklore Wallnut need?

  Oaklore Wallnut is a curve-edge plank, not rectified, so plan on a joint of 3 to 5 mm, about 1/8 to 3/16 inch. The wider joint gives each board its own line, the way real planks sit.
