Choosing the flooring for the home is one of the most significant decisions to make in terms of the long-term, overall look and feel of the space. Its a big financial decision, and theoretically its not going to be changed for at least a number of years or ideally, for many years to come. But choosing between real hardwood flooring and laminate means being stuck between two very different choices: authentic and long lasting but difficult to maintain and expensive, or inexpensive and easy to clean, but not so durable and not quite the real thing.

HomeThangs.com introduced an option to get best of two worlds porcelain tiles printed with wood patterns (also called wood tile), that offer picture-perfect natural wood color and variety with durability that exceeds either wood or laminate, and is easy to clean and less expensive than one might think.

Choosing the flooring for the home is one of the most significant decisions to make in terms of the long-term, overall look and feel of the space. Its a big financial decision, and theoretically its not going to be changed for at least a number of years or ideally, for many years to come. But choosing between real hardwood flooring and laminate means being stuck between two very different choices: authentic and long lasting but difficult to maintain and expensive, or inexpensive and easy to clean, but not so durable and not quite the real thing.

HomeThangs.com introduced an option to get best of two worlds porcelain tiles printed with wood patterns (also called wood tile), that offer picture-perfect natural wood color and variety with durability that exceeds either wood or laminate, and is easy to clean and less expensive than one might think.

1.Porcelain Tiles That Look Like Wood

The wood look tiles introduced by HomeThangs.com are manufactured by Mediterranea, a US-based company with a proprietary printing method that allows them to print high definition images directly onto their porcelain tile. The result is hard, durable, easy-to-clean tiles that look exactly like hard wood, with a spectacularly natural looking degree of built in grain variation and color. The Tumble Weed Wood Tile is just that tile! And unlike many wood tiles, Mediterranea doesnt print their wood patterns on square tile theyre the first company in the US to make 48 long wood tile planks so they can be installed and arranged like a real hardwood floor.

2.Wood Prints Captured In the Wild

With laminate wood flooring, one has to be very careful with how the planks are laid for the simple reason that there are only so many wood grains per style per package, which can easily end up creating an unintentional pattern that will make the non-natural nature of the floor more obvious. Mediterraneas wood tiles are different because each collection doesnt merely represent a few wood-like designs, theyre painstakingly designed to recreate real wood, with a much greater degree of variety in shade and grain like one on a real wood floor. Many patterns (like the Wild Timber Wood Tile ) are even designed specifically to look weather-worn, reflecting our nations coastal boardwalks and rustic cabins, creating a unique aged floor without the wait or any of the difficult maintenance.
