SEE IT AT 1:1The grain and the joint, at the plank’s own scale
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.
Move the light — the plank is measured and locked; only the light changes.
ARCHITECTURAL POSITION
229 Comporta is a warm-neutral ESPC long-plank floor for interiors that need warmth without visual noise.
229 lowers the room’s visual temperature without making it yellow. It gives the floor a steady taupe-brown field, keeps the grain quiet, and lets plaster, stone, cabinetry and light remain the main architectural conversation. It is a datum floor: calm enough to recede, warm enough to hold the room.
Where it works
- Living, dining, bedrooms, home offices and dry interior circulation
- Warm-neutral homes where the floor should calm the palette
- Wood-look warmth on a manufactured, matte, engineered surface
- Rooms where the floor should support architecture, not become a feature
Where not to oversell it
Do not position 229 as a wet-area floor, a ceramic replacement for standing water, a solid-wood substitute or a technical miracle product. It is not the answer for showers, standing-water zones or unresolved subfloor moisture.
Best beside
- Chalk plaster / limewash
- Warm limestone or travertine
- Mushroom, taupe or clay-toned cabinetry
- Blackened steel or dark bronze
- Flax, wool, linen and quiet woven texture
Avoid beside
- Cold blue-white walls
- Yellow cream paint
- Glossy marble-look panels
- Orange oak cabinetry
- Rustic knot-heavy timber

MATERIAL TRUTH
229 is an engineered ESPC wood-look floor for interior use — rigid core, décor layer, wear layer, matte finish and clear installation limits. Not solid wood. Not ceramic.
WATER & CLEANING
Water-resistant for everyday use. Not a waterproofing system. Not a flood-proof claim. Clean with a damp mop and normal maintenance; remove free water promptly.

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 strongly characterful, high-contrast floor — this is deliberately quiet.
A starting palette · one floor, five companions
Limewash plaster keeps the calm. Sand-grey linen tones sit beside it; a thin black-iron line is all the definition it needs.

COMPORTA 229 · THE WORLD
Comporta is the Atlantic version of restraint.
Low buildings, agricultural memory, pine and sand, and a horizontal light that asks the floor to be a calm datum rather than a decorative subject.
The light
Atlantic light here is broad and horizontal, not crystalline Mediterranean glare. Rice fields, sand, water and pale walls lift light from below; the room needs a matte plane that turns reflection into atmosphere.
The materials beside it
Chalk limewash, weathered eucalyptus or pine, thatch, sand, cork, clay, rammed-earth or concrete tones, zinc/dark metal at thresholds. Palette: chalk white, warm grey, sand, silvered timber, red-ochre earth, one muted estuary blue-grey. The floor belongs as the stable warm member of this weathered palette.
Why this floor belongs
Comporta 229 is already among the quietest fields in the model set: warm taupe-brown, matte, muted and controlled. That is exactly why it belongs in Comporta. The place is unstable — sand, reeds, water, seasonal agricultural light — so the floor reads as the stable architectural plane that holds the room still. The floor never becomes a fake-rustic timber claim. It is a calibrated engineered surface, used honestly: a warm datum under limewash, weathered timber and earth.
The floor under this world stays the real one: Comporta 229, colour measured from the physical plank — the world is read through the model.

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.
COMPORTA 229 · 38.38° N · 8.78° W
There's loud, and there's calm. Comporta is the calm.
The quietest, most even tone in the collection — a warm taupe that never competes. The walls come forward, the light settles, and a room feels at ease without anyone arranging it to.
Plenty of floors fill a room. Few let it breathe.
