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 light, airy, minimal room — this ground is deep and weighty.

CHOOSING · IS THIS THE RIGHT FLOOR

ARCHITECTURAL POSITION

1997-03 is among the darkest floors of the eighteen and among the warmest at the same time, which is an unusual pair and the reason it behaves as it does. It gives a room gravity, and pale stone gains a great deal standing against it. The local answer to hard light is shade and recess, and a floor with this much depth is part of that answer.

Where it works

  • Rooms with deep reveals, thick walls and controlled shade
  • Interiors built on pale limestone and sandstone, which lift against it
  • Living and dining rooms that should feel grounded and composed
  • Schemes where the floor is allowed to be the darkest surface

Where not to oversell it

Not for wet areas, standing water or as a ceramic replacement, and not solid timber. It is the wrong ground for a light, airy, minimal room — at this depth and this warmth the floor will lead, and pale furniture will not change that.

Best beside

  • Lime-wash white
  • Honey sandstone
  • Pale limestone
  • Aged bronze
  • Undyed linen and heavy weave

Avoid beside

  • Cold blue-white walls
  • Gloss and polished bounce
  • A second loud colour anywhere in the room
  • Faux-rustic grooved timber
  • Bright island lifestyle styling

If the room leans that way, the truly distant floors: Sylt 1140-51 · Helsinki 1994-05 · Havana 2410.

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.
