SEE IT AT 1:1The grain and the joint, at the plank’s own scale
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.
- 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 1.53 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 cool, pale, minimal room — this ground is warm and saturated.
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 211 · THE WORLD
Rio is modernism under tropical landscape pressure.
Pilotis, brise-soleil, concrete, stone and a warm rhythmic floor that grounds the open plan.
The light
Tropical sun is high and often diffuse with haze/storm brightness. Matte finish matters: the floor absorbs glare and adds warmth beneath concrete and stone.
The materials beside it
White/cool concrete, Ubatuba green-black granite, salmon stone, black-and-white Portuguese mosaic, aged brass/dark steel, restrained deep green. The floor is the warm acoustic datum under mineral mass.
Why this floor belongs
Rio 211 is warm, saturated and rhythmic. Its shorter-plank cadence suits a modernist open plan because it gives the ground a measured texture without adding colour noise. It belongs under concrete, stone and landscape.
The floor under this world stays the real one: Rio 211, 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.
RIO 211 · 22.91° S · 43.17° W
A floor can fill a room, or ground it.
Warm, saturated oak with real presence — the warm cushion under concrete, glass and stone. An open room holds together under it, without a single loud colour.
Plenty of floors decorate. Few do the quiet structural work.
