Wood Like Tile Mistakes to Avoid

There are many benefits to using tile over hardwood but to make sure it looks as real as possible make sure to follow these tips.

Grout Lines. Real hardwood floors do not require grout. Use the smallest grout line possible with your tile. A 1/8” grout line is most commonly used and recommended. Next, make sure you use the correct color grout. If the grout matches the tile it will be harder to notice. The wrong color (too light or too dark) will not blend as easily.

Layout. Every hardwood plank has its own unique look, tile does not. Make sure you alternate the patterns, so boards with the same graining are not next to each other. This will make the tile look more like hardwood.

Following these simple tips will help your wood like tile look more like hardwood.
