In comparison to actual wood flooring, the Wood Floor Tile is a lot more durable.  It won’t scratch, dent, chip, crack, fade, shrink, gouge or warp like natural hardwood flooring does.  The tiling won’t require expensive resurfacing and staining. Having the wood look ceramic tile in high traffic family atmospheres with children and pets is ideal.  You won’t have to stress out about getting any highly visible stains on wood look tiles. Wood look tiles are the best option in any area where moisture is present, especially when compared to all natural wood.  This makes for a great tile choice in restrooms, laundry areas, and showering areas. Wood Floor Tile is a sustainable material, and will retain it’s great new looking shine for up to twenty five years.  If something happens like chips or cracks, a wood look tile replacement and repair process is significantly less expensive and substantially less time and labor intensive than installing brand new tongue and groove hardwood flooring.  Wood look tiling eliminates the need for having to match the exact same stain and protective clear coating that’s required natural wood floors.

Just like real all natural hardwood flooring, Wood Look Tile also comes in a variety of different shapes, finishes, colors, and textures. Unlike those heat retaining Slate tiles, Wood look tile is available in ceramic material which stays a lot cooler. A nice cool floor is what most homeowners love in the hot Gilbert summers.  Concrete foundations make the best base for installing these tiles, so it’s an easier to install tile just about anywhere in the home.
