They look like the real deal.

Timber-look tiles now replicate all the nuances, grains and knots of real timber. We can now have the look of timber but with all the technical properties of porcelain, and without the ongoing maintenance that comes with using the natural product. Glazed porcelain timber-look tiles are durable, stain-resistant and maintenance-free. With such a wide range of styles available and new, unique designs released all the time, the timber-look tile trend is definitely growing in popularity and is here to stay.

They add warmth and character

Being a space for relaxation, timber can add a calming feel to bathrooms, It has always been a popular material to bring warmth, character and texture and now we can achieve the timber look in bathrooms without worrying about moisture damage.”

Tip: As a general rule, order a minimum of three extra tiles (or about two per cent of the total job quantity) in case you need to replace a cracked or damaged tile in the future – this avoids the frustration of trying to match a tile in a style that’s been discontinued.

No maintenance is required

Timber-look tiles are becoming more popular as people become aware of such materials existing. They’re hard-wearing, maintenance-free, UV and water-tolerant, and cost-effective. Unlike natural timber, which needs to be sealed regularly to keep it waterproof, timber-look tiles just need to be cleaned.

Timber look tiles are great at adding warmth without using travertine. The bold colours are the hardest things to overcome when clients choose their tiles but make no mistake the finish has a wow factor that’s easy to clean.
