Wood-look porcelain plank tile gives you the warmth of a hardwood floor with the moisture resistance real wood can't offer — a common request for New England mudrooms, kitchens, and bathrooms.
Manufactured as long, narrow planks and printed with high-resolution wood grain, wood-look porcelain replicates everything from white oak to reclaimed barnwood, without the expansion, cupping, or water damage risk of real hardwood.
Mudrooms and entryways exposed to New England winters, kitchens adjoining hardwood living spaces where a continuous look is wanted, and bathrooms where actual wood flooring isn't practical.
