When it comes to choosing floors and walls for your home, especially in busy households, durability and style are equally important. You need something that not only looks great but can also stand up to the wear and tear of daily life. That’s where wood look tiles come in. Combining the natural beauty of wood with the practicality of porcelain or ceramic, these tiles provide an ideal solution for homeowners who want a stylish, low-maintenance solution that can handle heavy foot traffic, kids, pets and everything else that life throws at it.
The Durability Of Wood Look Tiles
One of the key reasons why wood look tiles are still as popular as ever, particularly in busy households, is their unrivalled durability. Unlike real wood, which can scratch, stain and wear over time, wood effect tiles are incredibly hard wearing and resistant to moisture, scratches and even extreme temperatures. This makes them perfect for high-traffic areas like kitchens, hallways and bathrooms, where spills and scuffs are part of everyday life.
Take, for example, our Ashdown Natural Porcelain range. These tiles beautifully replicate the rich texture and natural variation of real hardwood, while offering a level of durability that wood simply can’t compete with. Available in three stunning shades – Elm, Oak and Walnut – the Ashdown collection is ideal for anyone looking to create a warm, rustic feel in their home. Plus, the anti-bacterial technology embedded in these tiles ensures a cleaner, healthier environment – especially important for households with young children or pets.
With wood look tiles, you get all the aesthetic appeal of real wood, without having to worry about constant maintenance or costly repairs. No sanding, sealing, or refinishing required – just a simple mop or sweep will keep them looking as good as new.
The Modern Scandi Wood Panelling Look Without The Maintenance
For many homeowners, the charm of wood is hard to resist. The warm tones, unique grain patterns and timeless elegance make wood a popular choice for creating a cosy, inviting atmosphere. Plus, wood wall panelling has become an increasingly popular scandi design feature. However, the real wood wall panels come with a few downsides – most notably its susceptibility to moisture.
That’s where wood look tiles like Terzetto’s Osaka Wood Ceramic come in. This collection perfectly mimics the natural grain and texture of wood panelling, right down to the colour variation and subtle imperfections that make timber so appealing. Available in two natural wood tones – Ash and Oak – the Osaka Wood Ceramic collection brings a touch of nature into your home, perfect for autumn, without any of the hassle that comes with real wood.
Unlike timber, these ceramic wall tiles can be used anywhere in the home and can especially create a beautiful feature in the bathroom or kitchen.
The Ashdown Porcelain Range also offers a wood look with Ashdown Linear, in 3 colours matching the wood look plank tiles.
Perfect For Family Life
In homes with young children or pets, flooring needs to be robust enough to withstand knocks, spills and messes. Real wood, although beautiful, can be easily damaged, which makes it less practical for these kinds of environments. With wood look tiles, you can enjoy the timeless beauty of wood, without worrying about whether it will hold up to the rigours of family life.
The Ashdown Natural Porcelain range, for example, features a complex texture that simulates the knots, scratches and grouted cracks of real hardwood. This means you get all the character and charm of wood, but in a form that’s much more resilient. These tiles are also available in a matching exterior option, allowing you to create a seamless flow from indoor to outdoor living spaces – perfect for family homes where kids and pets are constantly moving in and out.
Additionally, the Osaka Wood Ceramic collection offers a sleek and contemporary alternative for homeowners who want wood look tiles with a unique edge. These stylish “Kit Kat” tiles replicate wood in a more innovative format, making them perfect for feature walls or adding visual interest in areas like kitchen splashbacks or bathroom walls.
Timeless Style With Practical Benefits
One of the best things about wood look tiles is that they never go out of style. Whether your interior design leans toward modern minimalism, rustic farmhouse, or somewhere in between, wood effect tiles provide a timeless aesthetic that complements virtually any décor.
If you’re looking to achieve the warmth and elegance of wood, but need something that can stand up to the demands of daily life, wood look tiles from Terzetto’s collections offer the perfect solution.
