A warm, saturated ground that holds an open room together.
Colour measured with an instrument — not judged by eye.
A warm, grounding datum — present, never recessive.
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 — 3.95 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 1.53 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 a cool, pale, minimal room — this ground is warm and saturated.

CHOOSING · IS THIS THE RIGHT FLOOR
ARCHITECTURAL POSITION
211 is warm and saturated with real presence — it does not recede, and it is not meant to. In an open plan built from concrete, glass and stone it is the one warm plane, and it is what stops the room reading as a set of cold surfaces with furniture placed among them. The matte finish matters here: under high, hazy light a sheen on a floor this warm would glare.
Where it works
- Open plans built from concrete, stone and glass
- Rooms where the floor is expected to hold the space together
- Interiors with a lot of hard mineral surface and little colour
- Bright, high, diffuse daylight
Where not to oversell it
Not for wet areas, standing water or as a ceramic replacement, and not solid timber. It is also not the ground for a cool, pale, minimal room — this floor is present by design, and it will be the warmest thing in the space.

THE SIGNATURE · WHERE IT SITS AMONG THE EIGHTEEN
A STARTING PALETTE · ONE FLOOR, FIVE COMPANIONS
Raw concrete is the honest wall for this floor — Rio, not rustic. Limewash opens it; black iron closes the frame.

Rio is modernism under tropical landscape pressure.
The floor under this world stays the real one: Rio 211 — the world is read through the model.

RIO 211
A floor can fill a room, or ground it.
Plenty of floors decorate. Few do the quiet structural work.

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.
