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.

Some manufacturers will advise you on the box....See MoreBATHROOM DESIGN - TILES!
Comments (16)@carolina LOOOOOOVE the wood effect shelf but sadly the wall behind the bath is an outer wall and cannot be 'carved' to create such a cavity. We will have a recess but it will be smaller. The strip between the tiles is a pencil rail, almost invisible but used to connect the two types. The only reason I don't have the herringbone mosaic all the way to the bottom of the wall is pricing. It is way more expensive than the normal tiles of the same range. So need to be creative but within a certain budget....See MoreThoughts on wood effect Porcelain floor tiles?
Comments (1)Have you considered getting it all sanded and oiling it with Osmo oil? Can you post a photo? Perosnally, I wouldn't put in a floor that is the greyed looking wood as above, I think it makes it very difficult to add real wood items to the room....See MoreKerem kilicay
