Wood effect floor tiles are proving immensely popular in the tiling and interior design industry. But, are they really better than wooden floors and which option should you choose?
The Benefits Of Wood Effect Floor Tiles
Ease of Maintenance
With the ease of cleaning and maintenance of tiles, wood effect flooring is a practical alternative to real wooden floor. Plus, as they’re made from porcelain, wood effect flooring is more durable than traditional wooden flooring. Overall, these benefits make wood effect flooring an ideal option for even the busiest rooms in your home as spillages are easy to clean up and chairs or pet claws are less likely to leave pesky scratches on your new floor.
Great Value
With a lower cost per square metre, easier maintenance and longer life, wood effect tiles offer a great value alternative to wooden flooring. So, whatever your budget, wood effect flooring is the perfect option for your home.
Perfect For All Weathers
Now, we’re not saying you should lay your wood effect tiles in arctic or tropical conditions. However, it is worth noting that underfloor heating is easy and relatively reasonable to install with wood effect floor tiles. With wooden flooring, however, underfloor heating is not always possible, and, if it is, can be quite an expensive process.
Meanwhile, unlike wooden flooring, wood effect tiles are not as likely to fade when placed in areas of your home that attract the sun, such as conservatories. Therefore, they are guaranteed to maintain their stunning appearance for longer, giving you greater value for money.
Stylish Appearance
Wood effect floor tiles have the stylish, timeless appearance of wooden flooring and even come complete with lifelike grooves and knots so you can barely tell the difference.
