Wood-look tile is – as the name suggests – tile that is designed to emulate the appearance of wood. It is sometimes known as wood-look ceramic tile, but interestingly, it’s usually made from porcelain, which is ceramic.
Wood-look tile comes in a wide variety of designs, sizes, and shapes that offer the unique characteristics of wood with all of the material properties of ceramic tiling.
Wood-look tiles can absolutely be used in bathrooms – in fact, wood-look tile is often the best choice for bathrooms. The tile is non-porous, so water or liquids won’t penetrate the tile and cause damage.
This makes it a perfect option for bathrooms that are prone to condensation and moisture. Better yet, there is no need to add an adhesive or chemical layer to the tiling to make it non-porous because it naturally is.
To ensure the integrity of your bathroom, you can also apply grouting to the wood look tile. It will hold your tile in place, add durability and improve the waterproof nature of the tiling. It will also help keep dirt, debris, and detritus from getting underneath your floor.
