Advancements in technology have made it possible for tile manufacturers to create tiles that mimic traditional wood flooring so effectively that many of your guests will think it’s the real thing. With wood look porcelain tiles being more affordable, it’s a better investment than natural wood flooring.
Natural timber floorboards require a lot of upkeep and are more prone to wear and tear. Every now and then, they need to be sanded back, resealed, and polished to maintain their appearance. Wood look floor tile, on the other hand, is known for its durability, functionality, and sustainability. These tiles are scratch-resistant, easy to clean, and won’t fade even against the harsh Aussie summer sun. Some other reasons why timber tiles are a great option include:
- Waterproof – timber flooring absorbs water and requires regular sealing and maintenance, while tiles are waterproof and easy to clean and maintain making them great for any space, including bathrooms and kitchens.
- Termite and Rot Proof – unlike wood, with tiles you don’t have to worry about termites and they won’t rot.
- Great insulator – timber look tiles insulate heat and cold better than wood flooring.
- Non-toxic – installing timber tiles in your home or office will not add to the toxic build-up of chemicals within the environment that comes with many timber products.
