The most obvious reason to choose wood look tile over hardwood is the cost. The average wood look tile is roughly half the cost of its traditional hardwood counterpart. However, the best wood like tile will always be less expensive than a quality hardwood.
Hardwood flooring is very susceptible to the elements like moisture and temperature. Unlike hardwood flooring, wood look tile plank is 100% waterproof. That means it can be installed in a kitchen, bath, or even outside (porcelain only).
One of the salient features of wood look tile in comparison to hardwood is that porcelain and ceramic plank tiles are much more durable. Kitchen floor tile, for example, gets a ton of traffic and is extremely susceptible to wear and tear. Hardwood flooring is notorious for getting scratched and dented. In turn, the kitchen floor will have to be refinished, which is very expensive. However, if you choose to go with a wood look tile, you can plan on getting years and years of use out of it as it will continue to look good under normal conditions much longer than hardwood. You cannot refinish wood look tile, but the good news is that it is much easier to replace it than it would be to refinish a hardwood floor. Unlike hardwood floors, durable and attractive wood look tiles can be installed anywhere—including outdoors where the moisture and other elements would completely ruin traditional hardwood. Furthermore, many wood look products are commonly used as bathroom floor tile since they are waterproof and resistant to elements.
A wood look porcelain tile is much easier to clean and maintain than natural wood. It can not be harmed by water or chemicals, so you can clean it with whatever type of cleaner you prefer to use.
A wood plank tile can be laid in any direction you prefer. Usually a longer plank looks best. If you are installing a 6×24 or 6×36 a diagonal herringbone looks nice.
A wood look tile works well for any room in the house. If you are wanting the durability of a tile, but would like to have the cozy feel of a hardwood floor then wood plank tile may be the perfect solution.
When you are installing a wood plank tile or any tile that is over 18″ in length you should stagger the joints no more that 33%. A random pattern gives a natural appearance.
