LIVE 24-SEVEN TILE CHOICE WOOD EFFECT TILES
Wood-effect tiles have seen a monumental transformation of recent years. The timber purists amongst us would never have considered choosing imitation over the real thing, but such is the quality and exactness of today’s printing techniques that wood-effect tiles have become difficult to distinguish from their natural counterparts.

But what is it that makes them so appealing? The main benefit of wood-effect tiles as opposed to natural wood is that they will require little maintenance.
Not only are they exceptionally easy to clean, they will also keep on looking their best for years to come as they are really hard wearing. This means you can be relaxed and happy that your investment should see little wear and tear over time.
Many consumers are worried about the effect of moisture when it comes to natural wood as it can sometimes warp and rot, but with tiles being water resistant they are a great option. Ceramic and porcelain tiles can also be used with underfloor heating to create a cosy radiant heat throughout the room.
Wood-effect tiles can also be used on walls, allowing consumers to create a beautiful feature wall. A trend that’s really catching on, especially in living rooms and bathrooms. They would make a perfect backdrop for mirrors, cabinets and other accessories you are considering installing.
Due to the latest printing technology, it’s often difficult to distinguish wood-effect tiles from the real thing. It has enabled manufacturers to recreate the same shade variation and grain structure that you would expect to come from natural wood on a ceramic or porcelain tile.
How you choose to lay your wood-effect tiles however is totally down to personal preference. Many consumers lay them with staggered joints or in a herringbone pattern which helps create a classic and realistic finish. These patterns not only have time- less charm, but it will look great in any design scheme – whether contemporary or traditional.
