But when you use wood-look tiles, you can be sure that you are doing anything that has unfavorable impacts on the earth.

Let’s understand why and how wood-look tiles are an eco-friendly substitute for wood planks under the following subsections.

White Oak Marble is a natural stone just like any other variety of marble or any other natural stone which we use in our home. This is white is texture but gives effect of (white) painted wood plank flooring. This is the most natural and harmless material you can use in your home.

Wood-Look Ceramic/Porcelain is a clay product with wood patterns printed. The tiles are fired at extreme high temperatures to achieve strength and durability. These tiles are available in a variety of wood looks, which you can select based on your preferences.

How Wood Look Tiles are Eco-Friendly –

For cutting, sorting, stacking and shipping trees (wood planks) requires use of fossil fuel. Burning fuel causes air pollution.
Wood blocks are often dried in a kiln which uses fossil fuel at a number of times. That means, when we demand wood planks, we put environment in danger two ways.
Make a smart choice, and DO NOT use real wood planks for the flooring of your home. Use wood look instead.
