THERE’S NOTHING MORE VERSATILE THAN TILE THAT LOOKS LIKE WOOD

You may be surprised by just how versatile tile that looks like wood can be.  Far easier to fit and care for than regular wood or even laminate, our wood effect tiles are a low maintenance choice to save you time and effort. Even better, since they’re designed to be long-lasting, you’ll benefit from many years of effortless elegance. 

Our wood look tiles are made from a variety of materials too. Perhaps you prefer a traditional approach, in which case our porcelain or ceramic wood effect tiles are ideal for your needs.  Or maybe something more modern would be best for you, in which case our vinyl product range could tick your boxes. 

WOOD LOOK TILE FLOORING FROM QUALITY BRANDS

When you’re choosing wood look tile flooring, you need to be assured of their longevity and durability.  Fortunately, you’ll be worry-free when you shop here at Stone & Tile. We’ve taken the time to source only trusted products from brands such as MSI, Daltile, and Eleganza so you can feel reassured in your purchase. 

Unlike real wood flooring which can be uncomfortable to walk on due to the uneven surface caused by knots in the material, our wood effect tiles are a cosy and warm surface that you will love to walk on even in the winter with bare feet! Designed to be pleasant underfoot, this type of flooring brings all of the warmth and welcoming vibe of natural wood but without any of the downsides. 

WOOD LOOKING TILE IN A HOST OF FINISHES, COLORS, AND DESIGNS

Wood looking tile is a surprising versatile product, not least because of the many shades and finishes available to pick from. We have tiles that feature classic rectangular shapes that look like real wood planks as well as those with square patterns and even hexagonal designs for more unusual effects in any room or space.

We have wood effect tiles that are suited to heavy duty use as well as those that can be used outdoors or in freezing conditions, and with finishes ranging from matte to honed and natural, you’ll have no problems in creating your desired aesthetic. 

HOW TO LAY WOOD LOOK TILE

Laying wood look tile is a lot easier than you might imagine. In fact, our porcelain or ceramic wood effect tiles are installed in exactly the same way as you would install any other type of porcelain or ceramic tile, using your chosen adhesive.  It’s essential to ensure that the surface is free from any blemishes, lumps or bumps, and that it is completely clean and dry before beginning the task. 

Before you apply the adhesive, ensure that you have laid out the tiles so that you know how they will be aligned. Once you’re happy with your decision, apply the adhesive to the surface and apply the first tile, pressing it down to ensure firm adhesion. Repeat with the rest of the tiles, ensuring you’re happy with their alignment before pressing firmly down. Once all of the tiles are laid, leave them to dry completely before applying the grout.

HOW TO STAGGER WOOD LOOK TILE 

Some of our wood look tile products require no additional effort to stagger them in order for them to look realistic since the tile has already been created with the wood effect offset for an authentic appearance. If you do need to stagger your tiles, you can use the half offsetting method which involves setting a tile so that it is in the center of the tile above. 

WHICH DIRECTION TO LAY WOOD LOOK TILE

Laying wood look tile in the right direction is important if you want it to look as much like real wood as possible. There are no hard and fast rules, but one of the best ideas is to lay the tiles so that they run in the direction of the room’s main source of light as well as in alignment with the main entrance to the space. 

DO YOU GROUT WOOD LOOK TILE?

When you’ve laid your wood look tile in your space, you should grout it to ensure that no dirt or moisture can get in between the tiles and cause damage in the long term. You must wait until the adhesive from the tile installation is entirely dry before you start the grouting process. 

DOES WOOD LOOK TILE SCRATCH?

Wood look tile is designed to be extremely strong, durable and resilient, which makes it able to resist scratching quite effectively. If you choose one of our wood look tile products that is designed specifically for heavy duty use, you can rest assured that it will have the greatest resistance to any kind of damage through wear and tear. 

HOW TO CUT WOOD LOOK TILE

The best way to cut wood look tile is to use a wet circular saw.  Porcelain and ceramic are very hard materials and therefore require optimal lubrication for the blade to ensure the smoothest possible cut. 

WHAT IS THE BEST WOOD LOOK PORCELAIN TILE?

The best wood look porcelain tile will depend very much on your own preferences and requirements.  We have a wide variety of wood effect porcelain tiles in our collection at a range of price points and in a variety of colors, designs, and finishes.  That makes it easy for you to find just the right tile to suit your renovation project.
