Cascais626
A deep, earthen brown — rooted, Atlantic, composed.
Colour measured with an instrument — not judged by eye.
Deep, earthen warmth — restrained, not resort; Atlantic, never Mediterranean.
THE FLOOR · SEEN UP CLOSE

The tones in this floor
Sampled from the real plank — light boards to dark, as you would lay them. Six tones, not one square.
SEE IT AT 1:1The grain, the joint and the floor under three lights


Original pixels — 2.69 per millimetre. Nothing enlarged, nothing retouched. The rule is printed at the plank’s own scale, so you can measure it yourself.

Move the light — the plank is measured and locked; only the light changes.
WHAT THIS FLOOR ACTUALLY IS
- Handles everyday spills — kitchens and dry interiors, detailed correctly
- Water-resistant for everyday use. Not a waterproofing system. Not a flood-proof claim. Clean with a damp mop; remove free water promptly.
- Warm underfoot — ready for underfloor heating
- Compatible with underfloor heating — declared for the product family, not measured by us per batch. The floor floats, so it follows the heat without being fixed to the screed.
- Made for daily life — chairs, shoes, pets
- Real long planks — a calmer, continuous floor
- Full 1.83 m boards with a fine four-sided micro-bevel — our declared joint.
- Ultra-matte — reads as real floor, never plastic
Good to know Think twice for a cool, pale, minimal scheme — this ground is deep and warm.

CHOOSING · IS THIS THE RIGHT FLOOR
ARCHITECTURAL POSITION
626 is deep and earthen — the second-darkest ground we make — with a moderate warmth that stays brown rather than turning red or golden. A room standing on it gains weight the way old stone gives a room weight. White plaster and a single cobalt note ring against it, and that contrast is the whole point.
Where it works
- Living and dining rooms that should feel settled rather than airy
- White-plaster interiors that need something to push against
- Rooms with strong, low, raking afternoon light
- Schemes with warm stone, glazed tile and restrained colour
Where not to oversell it
Not for showers, standing water or unresolved subfloor moisture, and not a ceramic replacement in wet areas. It is not solid timber, and it is the wrong ground for a cool, pale, minimal scheme — the depth is not something you can dial back later.
Best beside
- White lime plaster
- Cobalt-blue glazed tile, in one place
- Ochre granite and warm local stone
- Undyed linen and heavy matte weave
- Blackened iron
Avoid beside
- Polished stone and glossy sealed surfaces
- Nautical stripes and resort polish
- Cold grey-blue paint
- Bright pale minimal schemes
- Orange-toned rustic timber
If the room leans that way, the truly distant floors: Sylt 1140-51 · Helsinki 1994-05 · Havana 2410.
THE SIGNATURE · WHERE IT SITS AMONG THE EIGHTEEN
A STARTING PALETTE · ONE FLOOR, FIVE COMPANIONS
The Portuguese triad: white plaster, warm stone, warm wood. Clay glows against the deep earth floor.

Some warmth is golden. This one is earth.
This is earth, not gold. A room standing on it stands on something.

BEFORE YOU ASK · WHAT A QUOTE HERE MEANS
What it includes
A quote is itemised line by line — boards for your area, edge and threshold profiles, and anything else the job needs. Nothing bundled, nothing assumed.
How it arrives
Send the rooms and their approximate area — by form or WhatsApp. The itemised quote comes back to you personally.
Why no public price list
A floor is priced from its specification: the model, the area, the condition of the existing base and the finishing details. A number published before those are known would be a guess — we don’t guess. Asking costs nothing and commits you to nothing.

Also made as a long plank
The same floor, at full length.
Identical décor, identical measured colour, identical build — 228 × 1830 mm boards instead of 100 × 600 mm pieces.
