A Tile With The Look Of Antique Wood Thanks To Digital Technology

A stunning new product has raised the look-alike theme to a new level, with a tile that looks and feels like a luxurious carved and hand-crafted wooden floor.

The success of ceramic look-alike tiles goes from
strength to strength in emulating wood finishes.

The fabulous Vintage series from a leading Spanish manufacture offers a range of finishes from geometric antique cross inlay patterns to straight plank designs.

These wonderful tiles are faithful reproductions of real carved woods. They are produced in hardwearing glazed porcelain using the latest digital technology to create an effect that looks indistinguishable from the real thing.

They are a new arrival at East Midlands Ceramic, the region’s leading tile supplier, which is always in the forefront when it comes to bringing tile buyers all the most recent innovations and developments in the tile world.

EMC Tiles managing director, Barry Slawson said: “The levels of sophistication these look alike tiles are now achieving is astonishing.  Just when you thought they couldn't get any better – along come a new product which raises the standard even higher.

“This range will appeal to a wide variety of tile buyers – from commercial designers to domestic customers looking for something extra special.

“The beautiful antique geometric pattern is ideal for bars, restaurants and hotels wanting to make a lasting impression. It creates a floor with all the warmth and attractive looks of a seasoned wood floor – but with all the hard-wearing and resilient qualities of ceramic tile. It really does offer the best of both worlds.

“Add under tile heating and you have the ultimate floor for making your customers and clients feel instantly at home.

“Domestic buyers too will love the look and feel of the straight plank look – which creates a genuinely viable alternative to an expensive parquet floor. The designs can be used inside or out – making them perfect for conservatories and patios – or even for a special feature in a garden.

“The beauty of ceramic tile look-a-likes is in their hard-wearing qualities. Unlike real wood, they need minimal maintenance, they are highly resistant to damage and wear and they will look as good in ten or twenty years’ time as they did the day they were fitted.”
