Pros of Wood Look Tile Flooring

Cost

If you’re on a budget, wood look tile flooring is the perfect solution for your home. Thanks to advances in engineering, you can have flooring that looks and feels the same as hardwood at a fraction of the cost. Only your wallet will notice the difference.

Maintenance

The upkeep for this flooring is extremely quick and easy, making it an attractive option for many homeowners. You won’t need any expensive tools or cleaners, just a broom and a mop.

Durability

If you look after your wood tile flooring, you can expect it to still look as goods as new several decades from now. Granted you have to keep it clean and avoid dropping anything heavy on it, but compared to hardwood, there is no question as to which option has a longer lifespan.

Cons of Wood Look Tile Flooring

Cold Under Foot

This isn’t warm flooring, which can be nice in the summer months, but not during the winter. You may want to invest in area rugs, or even under floor heating for the rooms you spend the most time in. Or, a good pair of wool socks should be just fine, too.

Installation Costs

Unless you’re an expert, this isn’t the kind of flooring you can lay by yourself in an afternoon. You need the right tools and knowledge in order to get the tiles and subfloor put down perfectly, so it’s best to hire a pro in order to ensure you’re happy with the final outcome.

Slick Surface

If you have kids or even animals running around, traction may be an issue in your household. The grip on smooth wood look tile flooring isn’t great, especially when they’re sparkly clean. However, you can opt for textured or grooved tiles to increase the grip. And, again, area rugs are a great way to add some extra grip to these floors.

Flooring For Your Home

Wood look tiles are a beautiful addition to any home, and their likeness to more expensive hardwood options will enable you to get the look you’ve been dreaming of, without going over your remodeling budget. Contact us at Dublin Carpet to learn more. We’re always here to help.
