If you’re in the market for flooring that combines the beauty of natural timber with the durability and ease of maintenance of tiles, you’ve come to the right place. This guide will walk you through the process of selecting the perfect timber-look tiles for your home.
Embrace the Timber Flooring Illusion
Start by exploring our contemporary range of timber-look tiles, designed to mimic the intricate grain and warm hues of natural timber. As you browse, consider the style and warmth you want to infuse into your space. With our extensive range, you’ll find options from classic to contemporary, ensuring there’s a match for every taste.
Selecting the Right Wood-Look Tiles
When you’re ready to buy timber-look tiles, think about the room’s function. Do you need something that stands up to high traffic or moisture?
Our porcelain and ceramic timber-look tiles are not only moisture and rot-resistant but also ideal for spaces where durability is key. This makes them a great option for all areas of the home, including bathrooms.
Finding Your Fit with Tile Sizes
The size of your look tiles can drastically affect your room’s aesthetic. Larger tiles deliver a seamless flow and make spaces feel more expansive. Consider the dimensions of your room and how different tile sizes might impact the overall feel of the space.
Detailing with Edging
Tile edging choices can enhance the appearance of your flooring. Tiles generally offer two edging options: rectified edges and cushioned edges.
Rectified edges are precisely cut to provide straight and clean lines, giving your timber tiles a sleek and modern look. On the other hand, cushioned edges have a slight curve, providing a softer and more relaxed feel to your floors.
For an authentic timber-look, opt for timber-look tiles with rectified edges, like those in our range. Paired with minimal grout lines, they create a more seamless and natural timber flooring illusion.
Timber Flooring Vs Timber Look Tile Costs
Budgeting for timber-look tiles doesn’t have to be stressful. Consider the cost difference and the long-term value of timber-look tiles over timber flooring, which requires low maintenance and minimises the need for replacements. Unlike natural timber flooring, you don’t have to worry about warping, stains, general wear and tear and termites causing havoc to your wooden floor. Instead, our timber-look tiles are a cost-effective and suitable option for homeowners who want the look of wood flooring without the hassle.
Remember, investing in high-quality timber-look tiles over natural wood can save you money on maintenance and replacements in the long term.
Plan for Low Maintenance
One of the biggest advantages of choosing timber-look tiles over timber flooring is their low-maintenance nature. For upkeep, a simple sweep and mop with warm water are usually enough to keep your tiles looking pristine. Keep this in mind as you consider the practicality of your flooring choice.
Ensuring Long-Term Durability
Ask about the hardness and wear rating of our porcelain and ceramic tiles. Timber-look tiles are more hard-wearing than timber flooring, but ensuring you get the right rating for your space’s activity level is crucial. This way, you maintain the allure of your floors for years to come.
Visualising Your Space
Use our in-store samples to help visualise how the timber-look tiles will complement your current or planned decor. It’s important to see how the lighting of your house interacts with the tile colours and grain patterns.
Making the Environmentally Friendly Choice
Opting for timber-look tiles is a great way to enjoy the aesthetic of wood flooring without impacting the environment. No trees are cut down for your tiles, making this a more sustainable choice for your home.
The Final Decision
Before you finalise your timber-look tiles, review all the selected details: the style, size, edging, and cost. Check the warranty and discuss the installation process with our experts to ensure everything is in order.
