Learn all about the benefits of timber look tiles, and how to make the most of them when styling your home.
What are timber look tiles?
Wooden floor tiles are styles that look like real timber, with a wide range of colours, styles, and textures available to suit any personal tastes. Using high resolution printing technology, natural timber is scanned and then printed onto premium porcelain tiles, with each detail of the wood represented exactly – from fine grains to textural knots.
In order to guarantee the highest quality of timber look tiles in Perth, Ceramics International works only with highly reputable Italian designers and makers, who apply extensive experience with porcelain and ceramic tiling to create impressive aesthetic results.
Timber look floor tiles vs timber floorboards
There’s no doubt that wood can bring a lot to the table when it comes to creating a warm, inviting, and stylish home. However, there are several downsides to using real timber, making timber look floor tiles a stunning replacement with multiple key advantages for homeowners.
Durable
Real timber may look tough, but durable porcelain is more scratch-resistant, stronger, and resistant to shrinking and fading. This saves both time and money over the years, with minimal maintenance needed for timber tiles.
Eco-friendly
Opting for timber look vs real timber is the more sustainable option, with real timber requiring a more invasive process while lasting less time than hard wearing porcelain tile alternatives.
Waterproof
The durable nature of porcelain timber tiles means they are highly waterproof, heatproof, and even hypoallergenic as they do not harbour dust, unlike real wood. This makes them a practical addition to your home, with no chance of them buckling or warping in wet areas, and no added chemical needed for maintenance.
Cost-effective
Once your beautiful timber look tiling is installed, you’ll likely never have to spend money on them again! Real timber may look rustic, but it also requires high levels of maintenance from applying lacquer coating to removing scratches.
