Why Choose This Product Line?
100% waterproof (real wood NOT)
Works in bathrooms, kitchens, outdoor balconies, pools — places real wood cannot.
No thermal warping
Real wood warps with temperature difference >15°C. KITO does not warp even with 50°C difference — perfect for Vietnam's tropical climate.
No termites + no VOC
Not organic material — termites cannot eat. No formaldehyde emission from adhesives like industrial flooring.
70% cheaper than real wood
Real North American oak 1,500,000 VND/m². KITO oak grain 450,000 VND/m² — quality nearly indistinguishable at >50 cm distance.

🔧Installation Guide
- 1.Let tiles acclimate in interior environment ≥ 24h before installation
- 2.Use C2TE tile adhesive (deformable, per EN 12004) — DO NOT use traditional cement mortar for sizes ≥ 600×600
- 3.Minimum expansion joint 1.5 mm — use genuine KITO cross spacers
- 4.10 mm notched trowel for tiles ≤ 600×600, 12 mm trowel for large formats
- 5.Light foot traffic allowed after 24 hours, grouting after 72 hours
- 6.Grout with 2-part epoxy for wet areas (bathroom, kitchen)
- 7.Recommended installation in '1/3 offset' pattern (each tile shifted by 1/3 of previous tile) — standard real wood plank laying
- 8.2-3 mm joint to simulate natural wood gaps
- 9.Can be installed flush against walls if size < 200×1200; larger sizes require structural expansion gaps
🧽Care & Cleaning
Wipe with soft cloth or microfiber mop with warm water + mild neutral pH cleaner (5-9). DO NOT use strong acids, strong alkalis, or metal tools.
Grease: use diluted dish soap. Coffee/wine: wipe immediately with warm water + soap. Rust: use 5% oxalic acid. Ink: use 70% alcohol.
No annual varnishing like wood. No special oil cleaning. Just dry wipe + damp mop once a week. Saves 80% maintenance cost vs. real wood flooring.
Place rugs under sliding chairs, felt pads under table legs. Avoid dragging sharp objects. KITO is 5x more scratch-resistant than real wood — light scratches can be buffed out.
