Wood-look plank tile floors that give you the warmth of hardwood with the water resistance and durability of porcelain, laid in staggered patterns that look natural.
Wood-look tile has improved enormously. Today's planks have realistic grain, color variation and texture that fool the eye, and they bring none of the worries of real wood: no scratching, no swelling and no refinishing. Homeowners in Nashville use wood-look tile in kitchens, baths, basements and whole-house floors where they want a warm look that can handle pets, kids and humidity.
Plank tile has its own installation rules. Long planks can bow slightly, so the pattern is usually staggered by a third rather than half, and the floor must be flat. We help you choose plank widths, plank lengths and color range, and we blend boxes so the grain looks natural. Grout lines are narrow, and a grout color that matches the plank keeps the floor looking like wood. We plan how the planks run, usually with the longest sightline, and finish transitions to carpet and wood with clean trim. Look at several boxes of the same plank tile before buying, because good products offer many different faces and a poor product repeats the same few. Ask for a mock layout of a few planks side by side, which shows the variety and the way the pattern repeats.
