Wood-look porcelain tile makes a comeback. It went into the shadows for a bit after the 
grey craze overfilled dealer showrooms in the late 2010s. The latest technology brings 
much needed warmth and versatility into the design and takes interior design to new levels.
Revamped wood-look tile arrives in warmer colors and more size options than before and is 
perfect for the customer that wants to avoid the natural aging process that happens in real 
engineered wood over time. Porcelain tile stays intact without scuffing. This tile comes in 
anti-slip options whether in a 9mm version or paver, and the customer can achieve indooroutdoor line of continuity. The porcelain option functions perfectly in exterior spaces which 
is a limitation with the natural version and achieves and warm natural vibe.
Ease of maintenance is another advantage wood-look has over the other too. Once 
installed there is no need to re-oil to maintain the natural sheen and protection. And any 
household cleaner or water can be used on it.
Porcelain tile functions great on high moisture foundations too. There is no need to 
measure the moisture content of the floor before installing. This gives peace of mind and 
dismisses the need to seal the foundation before installation. This is both a time and cost 
saver.
This choice of material selection will last the test of time. Since it does not deteriorate or 
change in appearance and it will only need to be changed for aesthetics reasons. This
results in long term value for the buyer.
