Wood-Look Tile Goes Where Wood Could Never Go

July 15, 2013

Tile that looks like hard wood

Have you ever wanted the look of wood in a specific room, but worried about having it installed there because it was an area prone to moisture? Many bathrooms and kitchens have wood floors, but if there is a leak, a malfunctioning dishwasher, an overflowing toilet, the resulting damage can be extensive. Well, worry no more. Now you can have the look of wood with the durability of tile!

The Beauty of Wood with the Durability of Tile

Kenny’s tile is proud to offer wood-look tile. Now you can have the look of wood floors in basements, bathrooms, laundry rooms, outdoor kitchens and patios, even around decks and pools. It’s the best of both worlds. Our beautiful tiles come in a variety of colors and patterns that mimic hard woods. They are designed in longer planks rather than square tiles and are as easy to install as other tile floors.

 

A Few Advantages of Tile over Wood:

  • No scratches, nicks, or gouges
  • No water damage/stains
  • No termite problems
  • No traffic patterns – especially from pets’ claws
  • Cleaning and maintenance is easy

Of course, there are pros and cons to every option. A few negatives are that tile provides less noise insulation (although cork underlayments and other under-tile insulators are available). It is less forgiving than wood if you are standing on it for long periods of time. Tile can be chipped, so it is not completely impervious to damage. Choosing your grout color is a little trickier too. The wrong color will make it obvious that it is not wood. But don’t worry about that, the design experts at Kenny’s Tile will help you choose the right tile and grout color so your tile floor looks just like wood. Considering the advantages of tile, it seems they far outweigh any disadvantages. Come into Kenny’s Tile and see it for yourself in our showroom. Wood-look tile may be just the solution you’ve been looking for.
