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.

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 for a cool, minimal scheme — this ground is warm and rich.
A starting palette · one floor, five companions
Warm sand plaster deepens low rooms the amber way. Limewash lifts; black iron defines.

PORTOFINO 1997-08 · THE WORLD
Portofino is compressed Riviera architecture.
Painted facades, narrow vertical rooms, slate and limestone, and reflected harbour light that asks the floor to read as one warm domestic note inside a mineral shell.
The light
The world reads the harbour as high contrast: reflected water light meeting deep facade shade. Rooms here read high-contrast and matte.
The materials beside it
Painted lime plaster in ochre-to-salmon range, Ligurian slate, local stone and mortar, sea-cobble black/white notes, dark chestnut and oxidized metal. The palette is mineral first; wood enters as a measured warm counterpoint. The floor belongs as the calm domestic plane between cool slate and warm plaster.
Why this floor belongs
Portofino 1997-08 belongs because its warm oak tone acts as the one hospitable horizontal in an otherwise vertical, mineral room. The place gives the floor its discipline: matte, quiet, framed by stone and plaster, subordinate to the actual locked model. The result is a restrained interior datum under harbour light.
The floor under this world stays the real one: Portofino 1997-08, colour measured from the physical plank — the world is read through the model.

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.
PORTOFINO 1997-08 · 44.30° N · 9.21° E
Warmth can be loud, or it can be the quiet heat of a room.
A warm, rich amber oak — present and golden, but calm in the grain. The single warm note in a room of stone and slate, holding it together without raising its voice.
In a room of stone and pale plaster, this is the one warm note. No raised voice.
