Homes everywhere have traded in their carpets and alternative flooring to get the look, feel and benefit of wood floors. Homeowners and interior designers alike are intentionally choosing to create spaces where they can instill the flavor and charm of a wood appearance. New designs in wood look tile flooring have opened up opportunities for interior designers and homeowners to use a wood look tile in a variety of spaces once thought to not be durable enough. Places like busy restaurants, grocery stores, businesses and commercial spaces are all enjoying the benefits and beauty of a wood look.

10 EXAMPLES OF BEAUTIFUL WOOD LOOK TILE FLOORING

Unlimited Design Possibilities:

Technology has come a long way so there is now a variety of colors, textures and patterns you can choose from.

Durability:

Flooring must be functional and work with the demands of today’s busy lifestyle. One of the biggest disadvantages of hardwood flooring is that it is easily scratched from wear and tear of everyday foot traffic. Wood look tile flooring offers the best of both worlds because it looks like wood and feels like wood yet it withstands the daily rigors that comes from having pets, traffic and even spills. Tile is one of the most durable materials that you can put in your home and can last for decades, still looking good as new.

Resistance To Water:

We often get asked whether wood is an appropriate material to use in those moisture-prone areas, such as basements, bathrooms and laundry rooms. Real hard wood floors are highly susceptible to water damage and can swell and stain after short time exposure to water. However, wood look tile flooring allows you to enjoy the warmth of wood without the worry of moisture damage. These are absolutely perfect for the rooms listed above, and we’ve seen a resurgence of  the wood look in bathrooms because prior to the development of such believable wood look tile, you were not able to get this style in your ensuite.

Easy To Maintain:

True wood floors require a lot of effort and time to maintain them between finishing, resealing and re-staining that must be done on a regular basis. Wood look tile floors are easily maintained using a basic tile cleaner and warm water. You don’t have to worry about pets destroying them with accidents or claw scratches. They are also very child proof, and if you tend to move heavy furniture or appliances in your home or business, this is a top choice for you.
