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?

I like this, @Yvonne – we will definitely ask about it. It also looks like it has a nice texture, which I really like in our laminate flooring right now.
What kind of brick veneer do you have? Now please share a photo as well. We were told that our brick looks like it belongs to an old church.

Here is a picture of the brickwork...

On my construction blog under Equipment, you can find the tile name and brand. And yes, they are uneven.
If you scroll down further, you will see our wood-look tiles.
However, I can’t say that we originally intended to have wood-look tiles before buying them.
We wanted Brazilian slate (multicolor) in the bathroom, which has a somewhat colorful appearance. However, multiple sources told us that you have to accept the entire box as it comes: the ratio of rust-colored to anthracite tiles can vary significantly. That was too risky for us since we wanted rust colors to make up no more than 15%.
Then we saw the tile Old Wood, which is similar in color, though with a different texture.
The "colorful pattern" was important to us because I really don’t like seeing hair and lint on tiles.
In the guest room, we have bamboo parquet: it is harder than oak because it is a fiber, not wood. It is also only half the price and can be installed by yourself over underfloor heating.
Maybe this is an alternative?

I love tiles! With the variety of surface finishes (rough, smooth, wavy, matte, glossy, dull, reflective, textured), sizes, formats, patterns, grout widths, materials, and installation methods, there are endless possibilities to design a room.
I regret not installing oriental cement tiles in the guest room. Bamboo is nice and attractive, but almost boring compared to what could have been. We lacked the courage.
My favorite is glass mosaic tiles, which allow you to cover any curve in a bathroom seamlessly.

Do you have a good source for solid wood bamboo parquet?

Dear Yvonne,
Do you have a good contact for solid wood bamboo parquet?We got our two-layer parquet from bambusconcepts

A two-layer system is apparently more suitable for underfloor heating?
