The Benefits of Timber Tiles
Traditional timber finishes provide a warm, elegant and timeless aesthetic in the home however, they do require special care and attention in order to keep them looking their best. Furthermore, timbers are often avoided in wet areas of the home such as the bathroom and laundry as continued exposure to the humidity and moisture in these spaces can warp and damage the timber. If you are looking to introduce the warmth of real timber into your home but would prefer a solution that does not require the same level of care, timber look porcelain tiles are the perfect option. Porcelain tiles are well known for their immense strength and durability; these types of tiles are resistant to moisture, staining, scratching and heat, making them an incredibly versatile option that can be included in your indoor and outdoor design schemes.
