Why Choose Wood-Look Vitrified Tiles for Your Kitchen?

-
Carving matt finish: Adds subtle texture, reduces glare, enhances slip-safety when used on floors, and adds dimension when used vertically.
-
Large format convenience: 12×48 and 24×48 inch sizes reduce grout lines, create a seamless wood plank look and ease installation and cleaning.
-
Unified look for walls & floors: Using the same tile design across wall and floor gives a harmonious, cohesive kitchen design — wood-look walls with matching flooring for continuous visual flow.
-
Low maintenance: Unlike natural wood which may warp, stain or require refinishing, vitrified wood-look tiles are easy to clean, moisture resistant and long lasting. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
Best Areas of Use
-
Kitchen Walls: Behind cabinets, splash-back zones, above countertops — the carving matt finish adds texture and interest.
-
Kitchen Floors: Using the same tile on the floor allows for a seamless design that replicates wood planks but with tile performance.
-
Open Plan Living/Kitchen: When your kitchen flows into living/dining, these wood-look tiles help unify spaces with a continuous plank effect.
-
Accent Walls / Feature Panels: On one wall you can install the wood-grain tile vertically for a statement texture wall in the kitchen or dining area.
Planning Your Tile Layout
-
Orientation: Lay 12×48 or 24×48 formats in the direction of traffic or longest sight lines for a plank effect — lengthwise across the kitchen or along cabinet lines.
-
Grout strategy: Choose a grout colour closely matching the tile tone to keep the look unified, or slightly contrasting if you want each plank defined.
-
Wall vs Floor continuity: If using these tiles on both walls and floors, ensure consistent SKU, finish and thickness to maintain design harmony.
-
Mix-and-match: For a layered look, pair these wood-look tiles with matte neutral wall tiles (cream, warm grey) on upper wall areas to avoid visual heaviness.
-
Proper substrate: Especially for floor usage, ensure your sub-floor is level, well bedded and suitable for vitrified installation — vitrified tile benefits apply when laid correctly. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

Installation & Care (India-Ready)
- Ensure tile substrate (wall or floor) is flat, clean and primed before placing adhesive.
- Use adhesives rated for vitrified tile on walls and floors; ensure correct joint width, especially for large formats (12×48, 24×48).
- For floor applications, ensure adequate expansion joints and proper leveling to avoid lippage or plank misalignment.
- Use non-staining grout; colour-matched for seamless look, or contrasting for defined plank lines.
- Cleaning: Sweep/mop regularly. For wall splashbacks clean with mild, pH-neutral detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads which may dull the textured surface.
- Maintain wood-look appearance: Although these tiles mimic wood, avoid wood-specific polishes or waxes — simply clean and protect like tile surfaces.
Styling Inspiration for Modern Kitchens
These wood-look tiles seamlessly integrate with contemporary kitchens. Pair them with sleek matte-black or brass fixtures, crisp white cabinetry or handle-free fronts. Add touches of greenery (potted herbs, pendant plants) to enhance the natural wood-grain feel. For a minimalist look, match tile tone with cabinet hue; for a layered aesthetic, contrast warm wood-tones with cool grey backsplashes or stone countertops.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can these wood-look tiles be used on both kitchen walls and floors?
Yes — the collection is designed for both applications. The large formats (12×48, 24×48) with carving matt finish work well on walls as feature cladding and on floors for a cohesive wood-plank effect.
Is a wood-look vitrified tile better than real wood in a kitchen?
Absolutely. While real wood adds warmth, it is susceptible to moisture, stains, scratching and needs maintenance. Wood-look vitrified tiles give the same aesthetic with high durability, low maintenance and better performance in kitchen conditions. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
Which size should I choose — 12×48 or 24×48?
Choose 24×48 if you want minimal joints and a continuous plank look especially on floors or large walls. Use 12×48 when working with narrower walls, behind cabinetry or in spaces where material wastage needs managing. Both sizes are compatible and visually cohesive when used together.
What maintenance do these tiles require?
Minimal. Sweep or mop regularly with mild, pH-neutral cleaner. Do not use harsh acids or abrasive scrubbers; avoid treatments meant for natural wood. These tiles retain their finish and colour with simple care.
What is the price range?
The wooden kitchen wall & floor tiles in this collection range from roughly ₹ 60 per sq ft to ₹ 120 per sq ft, depending on size, complexity of carving finish and design. This gives a premium look within a practical budget.
