WHAT THIS FLOOR ACTUALLY IS
Tulum 1976-003 — the floor surface, plank by plank
Tulum, Yucatán Mexico · 20.21° N · 87.47° W · Bright tropical
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.

BEFORE YOU ASK · WHAT A QUOTE HERE MEANS

A quote is a plan, not a number in the air.

What it includes

The boards for your area, edge and threshold profiles, delivery, installation if you want it arranged — and the warranty terms in writing. One itemised document, no surprises later.

How it arrives

Send the rooms and their approximate area — by form or WhatsApp. A person, not an autoresponder, replies personally (Sunday–Thursday) 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.

Plenty of floors fill the eye. Few stay this quiet underfoot.

If this is the floor that stayed with you — here is how it continues:

You set the date. Installation is clean, glue-free — one day in most homes.
