Porcelain wood flooring
Comments (5)I'm going against the flow here. I do use these wood effect tiles and find my clients really like them. Some of them have used them to continue on from a real wood floor in other parts of the house, and although you can tell the difference, most people don't notice unless you tell them. It does depend on the tile and the quality of the tiler however. A wooden floor will easily even out minor imperfections in the sub floor. These tiles are the opposite. They are very long, and with no give in them when fixed down you want the grout lines even and as small as possible as if they were tongue and grooved together, so the floors will need to be well screeded throughout the house before the tiling goes down.

Comments (10)I tested white porcelain with bright pink hair dye when I bought them for my kitchen and the dye just wiped off. In 7 years the white tiles have never stained. I've dropped a Le Crueset cast iron pan lid and the lid got damaged but not a mark on the tile. I've had some small chips at the edges when furniture has been moved over them but it is minimal damage and the furniture should have been lifted rather than scrapped across the floor. You can buy full bodied porcelain which where the colour of the tile is right throughout the whole tile and if you get chips, you should not see a variation in colour. I love porcelain and would not use ceramic after having it. The best place to go for it, is your local independent tile retailer, rather than the big stores like Topps and Tile Giant. Not all tilers are keen on fixing them it because they are harder to cut and drill than ceramics and they need diamond blades and bits which cost more. They are well worth the investment though....See Morewood floor joints
Comments (4)Hello, I hope the attached pictures may be useful. One of our customers used our Aged Oak Porcelain tiles in their kitchen and cloakroom for practicality and used oak wood flooring in their hallway and dining room. The hallway and dining room both ran on to the kitchen, so the two were sitting next to each other. As you can see in the pictures, it works pretty well! They just had a wooden threshold separating the two, but if you have stairs separating them, then I don't see why it would be a problem. Hope that helps, Sophie // Floors of Stone...See MoreWood in living areas and carpet in bedrooms, but what to have in hall?
Comments (5)Depends what kind of wood you are having in the main room. If it's mid or dark colour and a little bit rustic then that works for a hall too, as long as you won't mind if the odd scratch appears over time. If you're having something very light or smooth in the kitchen I would be cautious of having that in a hall as dirt and marks will show much more. In that case I'd choose tile....See MoreLiz
