Want the look of timber without the maintenance that timber attracts? Timber look tiles may just be your answer. Modern tile manufacturing techniques have come so far in recent years, particularly with digital print technology. The main benefactor of this technology is the evolution of the Timber Look tile. Timber look tiles bring the natural fascination of wood to contemporary venues.
With the aid of modern technology, you can obtain beautiful timber look porcelain tiles that will look and feel just like true wood without all the hassle and expense that comes with timber. Additionally, timber look tiles increase the scope of where ‘timber’ can be used in interiors, like wet areas, for example. Traditionally, timber has not been an option for bathroom finishes, however timber look tiles give all of the aesthetics of timber, however, are a practical solution, being stable in a wet environment.
As all timber look tiles come with a range of faces to replicate the variation you get in natural timber, we can tile your entire room without you being able to see the same tile twice.
What’s more, there is no need for these wood-look tiles to be sealed or treated and it will not be easily damaged by moisture and spills, as traditional timber floors are known to be. This allows you to have the look of timber flooring indoor or outdoor with a fraction of the maintenance. In essence, once the tiles are laid, the only maintenance schedule is regular cleaning. No sealing, so staining, no sanding, no polishing.
