Each tile measures 18 inches by 36 inches.
RIVA SPAIN RIVA MAX WHITE OAK
Riva Max is an engineered hardwood flooring that features a sustainably sourced European white oak top layer and a marine-grade Baltic birch plywood core that ensures stability.

PORCELANOSA TERRA COLLECTION
Terra is a collection of ceramic tiles that offers the soft look and color palette of Mediterranean cement.
