Browse Forums Flooring & Floor Covering 1 May 01, 2012 7:57 pm Hi, We are planning to put timber look porcelain tiles. We checked two shops (Signorino and Earp bros) and prices ranged from $125-140 m2. Gulp!! They were very good, made in either Italy or Spain. Saw come China made ones too - around $ 26m2. Now that is a huge price variation. Now I know there is an element of stigma attached to China made products - is it justified when it comes to tiles? Is there really such a big difference in quality so as to justify the price differential? What is a good price to pay for timber look tiles? Could you please recommend some shops? Re: Timber look Porcelain tiles - Melbourne 2May 02, 2012 10:12 am I know when we were looking for tiles, I saw timber look tiles at Tile Mart in Mitcham. This was the first time I had seen this type of tile and at the time and commented to DH about them. I have since seen them layed in one of the display homes at Officer, in Arena Parade, they were laid on an outdoor patio and they looked great. Re: Timber look Porcelain tiles - Melbourne 3Jun 26, 2012 9:50 am A lot of clients believe these tiles are only new on the market. We have been importing our timber look tiles from Spain since we started 15yrs ago. Over that time they have evolved into amazing replication of timber. to such a degree that in our showroom we have a sign on the tiles "Yes it is a Tile".

I thought they were new to the market as well. Let us know how you get on with them.

Regards Charlie we had a look at a display home that had them last weekend. The sales guy told us they got really dirty really quickly so we were turned off.. I too thought they were a new product so will have to look further into them. Don't suppose anyone knows of a supplier in WA?

Re: Timber look Porcelain tiles - Melbourne 7Aug 27, 2012 2:38 pm I've never heard of these before, but just did a google images search - some of these look fantastic! Beachside, why would these get dirtier any quicker than any other regular tile? Surely $135/sqm isn't substantially more than a decent timber or bamboo floor.

Re: Timber look Porcelain tiles - Melbourne 8Sep 06, 2012 10:42 am Our Timber Look Floor Tiles from Spain range from $72sqm up to $110sqm. When looking at any floor tile look for movement in the glaze (not a solid colour) - this helps hide dirt on a tile. Movement is your friend. Look for tiles that are easy to clean but just as important you dont have to clean them all the time. The beuty of the timber look tiles that they vary not only in print from tile to tile but also in shade. This replicates the timber look but also makes them very very practical in how much they hide.

Looking at the Boston Oak ones, it appears that the colour varies significantly… 0 9181 Engineering timber is certainly a less fuss option, times cheaper to supply and install and better withstands humidity. 1 15924 No the fireplace doesn’t work. It’s been enclosed. I’m not sure what was removed, as it was done quite some time ago - well before what I can see with photos online… 2 11589 |
