Timber Look Tiles

Timber look tiles combine the practical benefits of porcelain with the appearance of real timber. They don’t warp, swell or scratch as easily as natural wood, and they stay consistent in bathrooms, kitchens and other areas where moisture or temperature changes can be an issue.

These tiles come in a variety of colours and textures, from pale Scandinavian-inspired timber tones to rich, deeper shades that add warmth and structure to a space. Because they mimic the grain and detail of wood, they allow homeowners to achieve the look of timber floors in places where real timber may not be suitable.

Bathrooms

Timber look tiles make it possible to bring the warmth of timber into bathrooms without worrying about water damage. Their porcelain body handles moisture well, and the range of finishes means you can match them to almost any bathroom style.

Kitchens

In kitchens, timber look tiles provide durability underfoot while delivering the charm of natural wood. They resist spills, heat and staining more effectively than timber, making them ideal for high-use cooking spaces.

Living Areas

Timber look tiles are commonly used in open-plan living rooms where homeowners want the consistency of a timber appearance across large spaces. Because tiles don’t expand or contract, they keep a neat finish year-round.

Laundries and Utility Spaces

Laundries benefit from the water-resistant nature of porcelain. Timber look tiles add warmth to a practical space without creating additional cleaning or maintenance concerns.

Outdoor Areas (Depending on Rating)

Some timber look porcelain tiles may suit covered outdoor areas if their slip rating and finish are designed for external conditions. Our expert team can help you with individual product suitability.

Match the Tone to Your Interior Style

Light timber looks help brighten a room and suit Scandinavian or coastal styles, while deeper browns and warm mid-tones work well in modern or rustic homes.

Consider the Texture and Grain Detail

Some tiles offer a fine, subtle grain, while others feature more pronounced patterns. The level of detail you choose should match the character you want in the room.

Select the Right Format

Timber look tiles usually come in plank-style formats that mimic real floorboards. Longer planks create visual flow in open spaces, while shorter formats can suit smaller rooms.

Think About Grout Colour

Using a grout colour close to the tile tone ensures a more seamless timber look. A contrasting grout can break the illusion and is generally avoided unless you want deliberate definition.
