Porcelain Wood Look Tile Review Katy, TX

Updated: May 13, 2022


Daltile Glazed Porcelain (Saddle Brook)

Porcelain tile that looks like wood is a flooring option that will give your Katy, Fulshear, Richmond, Sugar Land, Brookshire, or Houston home an impressive new appearance. Wood-look porcelain floor tile does indeed look like wood. However, unlike hardwood floors, porcelain tile floors require less maintenance and are perfect for high humidity climates like that in southeast Texas, and they are great for wet rooms such as kitchens and bathrooms that manage to get a lot of water on the floors. Wood-look porcelain floor tile is the most durable flooring for pets, as it cannot be scratched like hardwood and cannot be unraveled like some carpets. Woodgrain porcelain tile also offers cool floors during the hot Houston summers. We recommend the following manufacturers/brands for your wood look porcelain tiles, American Marazzi Tile, Arizona Tile, Crossville Tile, Dal tile, Eleganza Tile, Emser Tile, Interceramic Tile, and Roca Tile.

Wood Look Porcelain Tile No Grout

There was a time that grout came in one or two colors. With today’s advances, grout does not have to be a distraction from your wood look porcelain tile floors. When a skilled expert cuts and lays your wood porcelain tile, the grout used will be chosen to match the tile and keep your floors looking as beautiful as you had imagined they would be. If you were not to use grout, you run the risk of your wood grain porcelain tiles rubbing against each other, causing breakage. Something else to consider when questioning the use of grout is that grout keeps the tile from minute shifts. Also, no matter how close together your wood look porcelain tile flooring is, there are still minuscule gaps between the tiles. Those gaps will collect debris, no matter how tightly the tiles are snuggled against each other.

One of the great things about porcelain tile is that it is a fantastic hardwood floor alternative because it is made in a variety of styles. Whether your preference is the look of oak, maple, hickory, walnut, or some other type of hardwood flooring, porcelain hardwood tile is available to match your Katy home design dreams. Wood-look porcelain tile flooring can be made to look like distressed hardwood as easily as it can be made to look like natural oak planks. Options are nearly limitless!

Porcelain Tile Planks

In addition to coming in a wide variety of colors, porcelain wood look tile is also available in various lengths and widths. This variety makes the tile look more realistic than ever. However, it is vital to have your tiles installed by an experienced Katy area professional who will make sure your subfloor is even and your tiles are set the way you want them and in a way that will look most beautiful.

Hardwood Alternatives Katy

When renovating your Katy, Fulshear, Houston, Richmond, Sugar Land, or Brookshire home, you may prefer the look of hardwood flooring but would also like to have floors that aren’t quite so high maintenance. Floors that look beautiful and that are also durable. Porcelain tile that looks like wood could be the answer to your flooring needs.
