Porcelain wood flooring

6 anni fa

We live in a rural cottage with 4 children and a dog our house get a lot of traffic and needs an easy to maintain floor.

We ideally want one floor to continue through the whole ground floor and don't want stone slabs in the living room, we love wood but just worry want with stand the family.

So we have started sourcing wood effect porcelain, we are happy to spend a decent amount to get a realistic look and have had some incredibly convincing samples.

But I am just struggling with the concept and wonder if I should just do traditional limestone through halls and kitchen and real wood in living room. Would be interested to hear what interior designers think of these wood effect products.

You should also look into Amtico and similar Luxury Vinyl tiles. These can be mopped easily and are a little less cold under foot. They are also thinner products than limestone which is handy if your ceilings are particularly low or if you want to add under floor heating

I would use real stone in the hall and kitchen, but go for something mottled and not uniform in colour. In my experience, things with character are more forgiving and mottled stone is less likely to show uneven coloured grout. If you do opt for wood, I would go for real wood with a two part lacquer such as Bona Traffic. I have no experience of luxury vinyl but many people on this forum recommend it.

Great Lorenzo! Vecchie tavole in legno verniciate, poi scarteggiate per effetto "vissuto" e poi protette con trasparente (se si allarga la foto si vedono le vecchie tracce di fori e le venature) che bel lavoro e bello l'effetto! Grazie anche a chi ha pubblicato il post (mi avete dato una bella idea) ;)

io in gres a imitazione (buona) della cemetina avevo visto queste di marca corona e mi piacevano moltissimo, anche io non volevo il patchwork: https://www.marcacorona.it/collezioni/linea-1741/maiolica.html https://www.marcacorona.it/collezioni/linea-1741/forme.html https://www.marcacorona.it/collezioni/linea-1741/terra.html oppure anche quelle di vives ceramica serie 1900 che ci sono anche colorate e anche con i bordi: http://www.vivesceramica.com/en/products/floor-and-porcelain-tiles/150-1900-20X20

Hi all, I would like to know your opinion on material and color combinations ... I would like to go for a modern white gloss handless cabinets. I would like to put granite buy the only white one is the one attached Called ice white. The floor is light wood color. My husband is afraid it will look too old style and not sure if it works with a modern kitchen ! I cannot really see this combination on the net. Most of the time is quartz or marble but those options are outside our budget. Alternatively we should go for black granite but I am not a big fan of white and black kitchen. Thank you all!

Hi Jenna,

I would use real timber for the floor as opposed to porcelain that imitates wood and use the limestone as you proposed. It is always strange to me to have timber tiles in a residential environment.

Best wishes,

JNSQ.

Honestly I would go with LVT because it´s warm, and if you get porcelain or stone, it´s going to be too cold. My husband ordered Gerflor for our kitchen, and we love it. We put it down over tiles and I have to say that they really are warmer. I think my husband got it from this shop called Bricoflor here in the UK.

I'm going against the flow here. I do use these wood effect tiles and find my clients really like them. Some of them have used them to continue on from a real wood floor in other parts of the house, and although you can tell the difference, most people don't notice unless you tell them. It does depend on the tile and the quality of the tiler however. A wooden floor will easily even out minor imperfections in the sub floor. These tiles are the opposite. They are very long, and with no give in them when fixed down you want the grout lines even and as small as possible as if they were tongue and grooved together, so the floors will need to be well screeded throughout the house before the tiling goes down. Wood effect tile image attached, from one of the projects in my portfolio.
