Hello,
we are considering installing wood-look tiles in our house (which is quite modern and open). I think these tiles, when well made, look really nice. I am just a bit skeptical whether I will still like them in a few years. Does anyone know a good manufacturer of wood-look tiles?

mutant-enemy5 Jan 2018 11:11Hello everyone – to avoid creating more threads on the same topic, I’ve revived this one from the archives. I hope that’s okay!
My wife and I will start building in April and are now looking for wood-look tiles that won’t stretch the budget too much. The standard price for tiles is around €30 per square meter (about $33 per square foot), so the additional cost shouldn’t be too high. Since we don’t want any transitions, the entire ground floor (just under 100 square meters (1,076 square feet)) will be covered with wood-look tiles. (We will use tiles anyway, but we like this look.)
We came across tiles by Novabell (“My Space,” color cognac, size either 15 x 90 cm (6 x 35 inches) or 21 x 90 cm (8 x 35 inches)) which are priced at €38 (about $42) without discount, so the extra cost is not too great at first glance. We are curious whether these tiles are truly affordable or rather cheap-quality – maybe someone has already installed them. The abrasion rating (class 5) and slip resistance rating (class 10) seem acceptable. Unfortunately, we haven’t been able to find any reviews yet.

Below are 4 possible wall tiles, but unfortunately, we can't decide...

Some are relatively plain, while others are quite colorful.By now, we want wood-look tiles as well. At least, that’s the current plan.
And it’s not easy to find "good" affordable ones. The format should resemble planks rather than classic tile sizes (which are usually the cheaper options), and of course, the major issue is the pattern. Cheaper tiles tend to have highly repetitive surface patterns. It just looks odd when every tile has a knot in the exact same spot. Even individual sample tiles don’t really help with this; you actually need a small, laid-out area to properly assess it.
