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.
- Warm underfoot — ready for underfloor heating
- Works over underfloor heating. The planks lock to each other with a glueless click and float over the base — a fast, clean install with no adhesive, in many cases straight over an existing floor, and a single plank can be lifted and replaced later.
- Made for daily life — chairs, shoes, pets
- A hard-wearing commercial-grade surface.
- 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
- A soft matte surface with no shine.
Good to know Think twice if you want a warm, deep, characterful floor — this is pale and restrained.
A starting palette · one floor, five companions
Sun-bleached ground, limewash field, warm limestone telling the stone story. Dark wood grounds it.

TULUM 1976-003 · THE WORLD
Tulum is pale mineral restraint under tropical light.
Limestone, chukum, shade, jungle edge and a quiet sand-greige datum.
The light
High tropical light needs a chalky matte floor, not gloss. Pale floor + chukum wall should read as one dry mineral field, with dark joinery or planting as depth.
The materials beside it
Regional lime plaster with sascab and chukum-bark extract; chalky sascab white and pale local limestone; raw concrete grey; dark tropical hardwood; one deep green/jade note as a curatorial accent. The floor should sit between limestone and plaster: warmer than stone, quieter than wood.
Why this floor belongs
Tulum 1976-003 is pale, sandy and low-chroma. It belongs as a restrained mineral-timber bridge: a floor that supports chukum and limestone without becoming a decorative tropical surface.
The floor under this world stays the real one: Tulum 1976-003, colour measured from the physical plank — the world is read through the model.

The three positions are derived from the locked colour of all 18 models — b*, L* and C*ab of the instrument reading. They place this floor in the collection; they are not a rating.
Measured, again and again — the readings converge on one.

BEFORE YOU ASK · WHAT A QUOTE HERE MEANS
A quote is a plan, not a number in the air.
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. A person, not an autoresponder, replies personally with the itemised quote.
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.
TULUM 1976-003 · 20.21° N · 87.47° W
Some grounds are wood. Some are closer to stone and sand.
A pale, sandy near-neutral — sun-bleached and dry, more quarried light than timber. It sits with plaster and concrete as one calm, bright field.
The quiet is not only in the eye. It is underfoot too.
