FAQs
What is wood tile?
Wood tile refers to porcelain or ceramic tiles that realistically mimic wood’s appearance—grain, tone, texture—while offering better durability, water resistance, and low maintenance than natural wood.
Is wood tile suitable for bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes—thanks to its waterproof and easy-clean surface, wood tile is perfect for both high-moisture and high-traffic areas.
How do I choose the right wood tile?
Consider tile material (porcelain/ceramic), PEI rating (≥4 for floors), size, finish, color, grout color, and whether you prefer eco-friendly options like recycled glass.
How much extra tile should I order?
It's recommended to order 10–15% more for standard layouts and up to 20% extra for complex patterns like herringbone.
Can wood tile be used outdoors?
