Wood is a very popular material nowadays, it is natural and excellent, a way of integrating nature into our homes, shops, restaurants etc. However, the natural material has disadvantages such as fragility and susceptibility to humidity, that is why we recommend ceramic tiles.

WAYS OF LAYING WOOD-LOOK PORCELAIN TILES
Although the basic aspects of laying are always the same, an imitation wood-look porcelain floor can be laid in different patterns or aesthetic shapes. These are the main possibilities, which are left to your free choice:
· Joint-breaker or Traditional: This laying style is the most common for this type of material. To lay the tiles correctly, you should choose a distance of no more than 1/3 of the piece and take it as a reference. We recommend that the imitation wood flooring follows the line that makes up the longest wall in the room. In this way, a greater sense of space is achieved in the room.
· Herringbone or Chevron: This is applied when the pieces are rectangular, placing them in a zigzag pattern.
These are the most commonly used but there are more patterns that we explain in our Blog entry. In any case, what really matters is that in the end you place it in the way you or your client likes the most. It is well known that there is nothing written about tastes. In any case, our recommendation is that you first assess the style of the house or company as a whole and, based on that, select the type of wood-look porcelain tile and the installation method that best matches it so that it does not clash with the rest of the spaces.
