HOW DO LAY WOOD LOOK TILES?

Wall or floor tiles with a wood look have a homely character. To get the most out of this tile, proper laying must also be considered. Depending on which tile or tile size you choose, there are different laying options.

Whether you lay the tiles in a random combination (striped pattern), a third or quarter combination, or a herringbone combination is always a matter of personal taste.

The random combination is a type of laying, according in which the wood look tiles are laid one after the other without a fixed structure. The end of the last row serves as the start of the next row

A third or a quarter of the tile-to-tile does not overlap – as the name suggests – are offset by a third or a quarter. The staggered positioning of the tiles results in a lively floor pattern as a whole.

In contrast to this laying is the parallel combination. The tiles are laid lengthwise, parallel. Overall, this type of installation appears much calmer. However, if you want to underline the character of natural wood, the best way to do this is with a staggering laying method.

An additional laying style that highlights an authentic wooden floor is the herringbone pattern. To achieve a perfect result, the tiles must be cut at a 45-degree angle.

With a semi-bond, the tiles are offset by half their length. However, the wood look tiles are pretty narrow and long, most of them have a natural curvature in the center of the tile. This curvature can lead to a slight height offset. In the worst case, this will result in unwanted edges (shadow gaps) during installation in the form of tripping hazards. Therefore, it is advisable not to lay the tiles in a semi-bond on the floor. In the case of a smaller size (on the wall), the semi-bond can be implemented without any problems.
