Technical Specifications

Confirm actual measurements, thickness, carton coverage, and the current lot before ordering.

Recommended Applications

Residential floors and walls, plus medium-commercial and light-institutional spaces within the supplier's PEI 4 guidance. Verify slip requirements and the complete installation system before selecting it for a wet location.

Installation and Handling Guidelines

Inspect and blend planks from several cartons before setting so the printed grain and V2 variation distribute naturally. Plan the layout, grout joint, and offset with an experienced tile installer. Follow the setting-material and tile suppliers' directions for the substrate and location.

Care and Maintenance

Clean the tile and grout with a product approved for porcelain. Remove grit before wiping, avoid abrasive tools, and follow the cleaner's instructions for routine maintenance.

Design Profile

The brown palette can bring warmth to pale walls, limestone tones, and restrained black metal details.
