A current trend, the use of porcelain tiles that imitate wood as the chosen flooring is proving to be a great option for those who wish to obtain all the elegance and coziness provided by the use of the natural material, which, in addition to ensuring a more sophisticated look, still has certain advantages such as durability, cleanliness, and beauty.
With options different from the traditional porcelain tile model, this can be found in a square format, but also with a rectified design, resembling wooden planks. This way, its appearance provides a greater sense of continuity, guaranteed by the use of the original material.
According to architect Cyntia Sabat, the trend of replacing organic flooring with porcelain tiles arose from the practicality of the material, which is much more durable, while wood has a shorter lifespan: "I have been using this type of porcelain tile that imitates wood a lot, because it adds elegance to the environment without the worry of being damaged".
Advantages of using porcelain tile
One of its greatest attractions is the possibility of being applied in areas that are in contact with water. This way, the kitchen, bathroom, or laundry room can also receive the coating, which would not happen in the case of wood, since contact with water can result in irreversible damage, such as deformation of the material and warping of its boards.
Another advantage is that this material does not risk scratching, does not require maintenance, is easy to clean, and does not require the use of polishing waxes, for example: "Besides, this type of floor does not attract animals such as termites, which can permanently damage a wooden floor", adds the professional.
How to use wood-like flooring in your home
Versatile, this type of coating can be applied in any room of the home, varying in size and function, according to the environment in question:
