Faux Wood Tile : A New Trend

There are tons of flooring options available out there, beginning from tiles, marbles, wooden floors etc. Tiles always have been hugely popular because of their durability and wide availability. But people have always loved the option of a wooden floor. It just brings a rustic element into a house. 

To combine the elements of wood and tile, a new trend has taken the interior décor world by storm. It is called a faux tile. A faux tile is generally made up of the usual ceramic or porcelain but looks like real wood.

To match your flooring, you can opt for timber cladding for the walls.

Let us look at a few advantages of faux wood:

1.  Durability – Faux wood tile is extremely durable and scratchproof. Hardwood is easily tainted. On the contrary, if you use faux wood tile, no scratches or taints would be visible.

2.  Water Resistant – The main disadvantage of using hardwood floors is that they are not water resistant. You can use faux wood tiles wherever you want to – be it the bathroom, kitchen,etc.

3.  Low Maintenance – Hardwood floors require a lot of maintenance. Like most tiles, faux wood tiles are literally maintenance free. You can clean them with basic tile cleaners and your job would be done. You can opt for reclaimed bricks for the walls for great, low maintenance option.

4.  Non-susceptibility to Termites–Anything wooden is prone to termite attacks. Once there is an attack, you would probably have to replace all of the floorings in your house. Faux wood tiles are not prone to any pest attacks and you can be free from any tension.

You should definitely opt for faux wood tiles if you are looking for a wooden finish for your floors.
