Wood-look tile is a smart choice for those who wish for hardwood looks with tile’s strength and waterproofing assets. If you have your heart set on hardwood in your kitchen or bathroom, wood-look tile is something you might consider!
Wood-look tile makes it possible to experience all the things you love about natural hardwood- the intricate wood grains and patterns, for example – along with the ease of care and flexibility that comes with vinyl, porcelain, or ceramic tile. Like all tile, wood-look tile is made to withstand moisture, heavy foot traffic, climate extremes, splashes, and spills, and its care requirements are minimal. Damaged tiles can be individually replaced, making repairs more economical as the years roll on. For these and other reasons, one might argue that wood-look tile is even better than the real thing.
Tile isn’t only for floors: the perfect accent wall or backsplash makes a statement that can’t be accomplished with paint or wallpaper. Your new wall tile will automatically draw the eyes and break up the monotony of a drab, boring wall.
A tile backsplash is a marvelous option for distinguishing your space with bold colors and patterns – the perfect thing when you need to accentuate a certain part of your room.
Since tile is heat and water-resistant and, in most cases, waterproof, it’s also a wonderfully stylish way to protect your walls from bathtub splashes and kitchen splatters. It’s a cinch to take care of- usually, you’ll be able to just wipe it clean- and it will stay new for much longer than other mediums, like paint or wallpaper.
