Wood Effect Porcelain tiles? Or Wood flooring?
Comments (16)This is a question i get asked all the time. We sell miles of Wood Effect Porcelain Tiles for anything from a small cloakroom floor to huge living spaces. Like someone said Porcelain is Cold to touch where as the real thing, not as much. Most of the Builds we supply it to are installing Water underfloor heating throughout the areas its being fixed to so you avoid this problem. With the phenomenal technology being used to create these tiles they are now available in Lengths of up to 1700, they are looking more and more authentic. With hundreds of factories around the globe all giving it their best shot there really are some true stunners that not only fool the eye but the touch too. The positives of Porcelain really outweigh the negatives, no warping, no swelling, no staining or scratching. We once had a customer that replaced her traditional wood with porcelain because it was so much easy to look after and she didn't need to worry about her cleaner using the wrong product and staining it. Be careful with Amtico as they are not all UV protected and can fade. Take a look at our http://www.houzz.co.uk/projects/2107824/wood-effect-tiles-dolphin-wood for just a small insight into how Porcelain effect tiles can really transform any area of the home. Hope this helps....See MoreWhat do you think about porcelain floor tiles for a living room?
Comments (7)I have wood effect tiles in my hall and kitchen, I'm not sure if they are porcelain or ceramic but they aren't holding up too well. Tiny chips appear and it looks like little specs of paint on the floor :( not sure where they come from whether it's when something is dropped on it or a chair scraped or something but I wouldn't have them down myself (they were here when we bought) I have however had Karndean flooring laid in my lounge and that is superb. Not noisy underfoot nor cold unlike wood and laminate so I'm very happy with that. Needs hoovering everyday though, but I have a toddler and a dog....See MoreWood effect tiles in the bathroom - what are your thoughts?

Comments (7)The tiles were lifting by the patio doors, so they lifted 2 rows and then realised they couldn't get the same shade of tile. We also then found out they had laid ceramic rather than porcelain, so other houses had reported lots of chips in the tile - so they agreed to take up several houses floors!...See Morehouse mad

9 years agoWe have some amazing wood effect tiles they are expensive but they really do the job well. They are very effective and they are engineered to have some texture so they feel a little like wood.

9 years agoI have pale Italian ones down in my hall and through to my living room. I love them; they're startlingly realistic (caveat: with pale grout so they look like planks, not obviously tiles), easy to clean, and really not cold- and I don't have underfloor heating! No regrets at all. You can see it in the photo below-ignore the posing pup! If you want a closer photo to show the 'grain' I can get that.
