Absolutely! It's virtually impossible to tell wood-look tile flooring from the real thing!
For example, I didn't know what I was stepping on the first time I saw it. Then, I could feel all the raised grains on my bare feet. The planks had knots, swirls, and color variations.
It looked and felt like wood, but it was in the bathroom. This is a wet and steamy space where hardwood isn't recommended for installation. Instead, to my surprise, the homeowner told me it was tile flooring!
The beauty of wood, the function of tile flooring
This is available through a modern technology called Inkjet. It's made from ceramic or porcelain tiles and comes in many colors.?

Take a look for yourself! In our showroom, you'll see wood-look tiles, such as Acacia Valley from?
Daltile, Preservation-Aged Walnut by Marazzi, or Classico Beige by Shaw.
About Inkjet
This technology enables manufacturers to create realistic simulations of genuine materials. For example, tiles were hand-painted in the past, an arduous and inaccurate task. In today's tile store, you'll find various looks (like stone), textures (like "cotton"), and finishes.
Porcelain?s large format, fewer seams
Because of its more continuous look, it's often chosen for wood or stone looks. In addition, porcelain tiles are ultra-durable with a low water absorption rate.
It's great for heavily trafficked floors like the kitchen. It can also be used indoors or out.
Color body porcelain refers to the glaze being closely matched to the bisque. This eliminates white spots caused by chipping or scratching.
