Downside of wooden flooring and wall panelling and The best Alternative to it

 

Wooden flooring and wall panelling comes with good and bad, as is the case with all things. Listed below are the most noteworthy disadvantages of installing wood plank tiles or on the walls and how they can ultimately backfire in the long run:

 

  1. Difficult to install and replace – Installing wooden flooring is really difficult and it takes long man-hours so rest assured, the installation charges will go through the roof. Not to mention, in case the wooden flooring or wall installations need to be taken apart for replacement or repairs, it would cost you nearly the same since that is also a difficult and long-drawn process.
  2. Upkeep – The upkeep or maintenance cost for real wooden flooring is really high and bound to burn a hole in your pockets.
  3. Difficult to clean – Due to the grainy and porous texture of wood, it absorbs moisture, accumulates dirt and stain, making them extremely difficult to clean.

 

Therefore, the smartest decision you can make is to go for wooden plank tiles or wooden coloured tiles by NEOM. They are inexpensive, easy to install since they are basically tiles, easy to clean (right off of the surface) and you get a variety of textures, colours and patterns to choose from as well.

 

Ideas for Wooden Tiles throughout your Home

  1. Wooden Floor Tiles with Porcelain Wall Tiles – Walnut coloured wooden tiles work really well with dark or light grey porcelain tiles. They warmth of the brown is augmented by the plain slate and it really brings that rustic, minimalistic energy. This works best with bedrooms.
  2. Wooden Floor Tiles with Marble – The right texture of wooden floor tiles, paired with white and gold marble tiles with intricate vein details is simply royalty. This is a texture that has worked for ages and is considered timeless. You can use wooden coloured tiles as the flooring and marble tiles for countertops and backsplash.
  3. Wooden Coloured Tiles with Granite Tiles – Granite tiles (glazed or matte finish) have a certain poise and class that works well with the evergreen texture of dark wooden coloured tiles. You can use this theme for your powder rooms or even the service & host section of your living space.
