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, pale, minimal scheme — this ground is deep and warm.

CASCAIS 626 · THE WORLD
Cascais is a coastal architectural register shaped by palacetes, chalets and the Portuguese-house lineage.
Whitewashed masonry, azulejo, local limestone and red-pigmented concrete.
The light
In Cascais and Monte Estoril the summer light is generally clear rather than fog-muted; morning fog belongs more securely to Cabo da Roca and Guincho. Interior light works by reflection: azulejo, whitewashed walls and pale local stone bounce light inward.
The materials beside it
White lime plaster and whitewashed masonry, cobalt-and-white azulejo, brick, iron and wood, and red-pigmented concrete. The local stones are documented by the town's own quarry record: azulino de Cascais (blue-grey limestone), honey-coloured shell-rich apinhoado, lioz, and local granite where evidenced. The palette should feel mineral and Atlantic, not Mediterranean resort.
Why this floor belongs
Cascais 626 is a warm, mid-dark, earthen floor with more presence than Comporta. In Cascais it reads as a composition: a warm plane beneath whitewash, tile and pale limestone. The floor steadies a room full of reflected light and hard mineral surfaces. It should stay matte and grounded. Its job is to let glaze, plaster and stone keep their clarity while the floor supplies weight.
The floor under this world stays the real one: Cascais 626, 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.
Specification clause · ready to paste

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.
CASCAIS 626 · 38.70° N · 9.42° W
Some warmth is golden. This one is earth.
Deep earthen brown, with quiet movement in the grain. Old stone does this to a room — steadies it — and white plaster and a cobalt note ring against the darker ground.
This is earth, not gold. A room standing on it stands on something.
