Of late you will have heard us describe our floor boards in two terms 'Grande' And 'Piccolo'. We chose terms that Australians understand in terms of Italian coffee so that you can easily conceive the differences. The 'Grande', much like a full size latte cup, is heavier and has more height to the board than the 'Piccolo', just like a 'piccolo latte' is lighter and has less height. A good application example of why you might use one over the other is as follows:
Grande: You have a large spacious house with plenty of room and you wish to create a seamless but durable and heavy underfoot feeling akin to a solid architectural hardwood floor.
Piccolo: You are on the fifth floor of an apartment block with constrictions by the body corporate on what you can lay and on what substrate. You have very particular height restrictions for the floor and there is very little room to move if, when pulling up your existing floor or carpet, something isn't right in the substrate.
