Is it tile or isn’t it?

Advances in technology have made look-alike tile a popular choice for builders and homeowners in recent years. Porcelain and ceramic tile are available in versatile colors and patterns designed to mimic the look of other popular surfaces, like hardwood, marble, cement, brick, metal and more.

Choosing a look-alike tile is a great way to get the style you love along with the durability and easy maintenance of porcelain. In many cases, it’s difficult to tell the difference between these high-quality “copycat” surfaces and the “real deal.” Let’s take a look at a handful of look-alike tile options that could transform your space.

Tile That Looks Like Wood

Tile that looks like wood is the most popular flooring trend across the US today. Wood-look tile is appealing due to its durability, which makes it more resistant to water damage and scratching compared to hardwood. Wood-look tile requires very little maintenance, making it a good option for high-traffic areas like kitchens. Plus, the tile planks are designed to look like wood grain for a close resemblance to real hardwood, bringing that sought-after warmth and classic appeal to your space.
