SEE IT AT 1:1The grain, the joint and the floor under three lights
Original pixels — 3.91 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 if you want warmth or character — this is a very muted, neutral ground.
CHOOSING · IS THIS THE RIGHT FLOOR
ARCHITECTURAL POSITION
1994-05 is the least warm floor of the eighteen. It sits at a mid lightness with almost no colour of its own, so it takes the temperature of the light in the room rather than setting one: cool and ashy under northern daylight, faintly warmer under a lamp. Its work is to make room — for plaster, for stone, for whatever the walls are doing.
Where it works
- Living rooms, bedrooms, studies and dry interior circulation
- Cool, pale schemes where a warm floor would fight the walls
- Rooms with low or grey daylight, where warmth comes from joinery rather than the ground
- Interiors that get re-dressed often and need a ground that stays agreeable
Where not to oversell it
Not for wet areas, showers or standing water, and not a replacement for ceramic where water is the design problem. It is not solid timber, and it is not the floor for anyone who wants visible warmth or a ground with an opinion.
Best beside
- Soft warm white and off-white walls
- Pale grey granite and micro-concrete
- Birch and other pale, matte joinery
- Black steel, in thin lines
- Cool low-chroma linen and wool
Avoid beside
- Yellowed cream paint
- Orange or golden oak furniture
- Glossy lacquer and high-sheen stone
- Heavy dark-to-light contrast in the same room
- Cabin-style rustic timber
If the room leans that way, the truly distant floors: Sylt 1140-51 · Havana 2410.
THE SIGNATURE · WHERE IT SITS AMONG THE EIGHTEEN
A STARTING PALETTE · ONE FLOOR, FIVE COMPANIONS
A cool ashy floor wants a cool clean field. Micro-concrete layers it; warm it with a wood accent — never with the wall.

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.
