    Default Wood Effect TIles

    Hi - I am looking to tile my downstairs with a wood effect tile. I have seen some nice ones in B&Q called (suprisingly) Wood Effect. Having read a few posts though it seems B&Q are not well thought of.
    I have read about another tile called Alpina by Colorker?? Has anyone used these? Has anyone any comments in general on the wood effect tiles and wood anyone know who sells the Colorker tiles in the UK? I have searched on the net to no avail.
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Hi,

    Try this link for Colorker stockists:

    The Tile Association directory of Suppliers of Colorker

    Don't know what your budget is but amtico do some lovely wood effect flooring. I have seen it laid and could not tell it was not real wood, plus its waterproof and virtually damage proof. Laid like a tile but I think the wood effect ones come in same shape as normal laminate flooring.

    Doug,

    Is the missus allowed to wear sharp heeled shoes on those tiles? How hard wearing are they?

    Thanks

    That's sorted it then

    After Project Bathroom and Project En-suite are completed (), Project Dining Room, Project Utility Room and Project Hallway will commence - all with wood effect tiles

    JIm378, let us know when you find the tiles you're going to have and post some pics on here when the floor is done so we can see how good it's all turned out.

    Jim - With tiles from B&Q you get what you pay for - and on some occassions - value for money!
    From what I've read on the forum the B&Q problems relate to a larger black porcelain tile.
    B&Q have introduced an order only range of tiles which are now extremely expensive - but different.
    If I'am right with your thread you are looking for a ceramic/porcelain floor tile that has a wood effect pattern to it. That is what Doug is showing in his hallway and will be suitable for domestic and light commercial wear.
    I doubt if you will find a vinyl tile such as Amtico with the same properties.

    Timeless John.

    Porcelain tiles are exactly what I want. The b&q ones are their "order only" ones. They are 29.99 a square meter. I have no idea if that's cheap or not?

    maybe go to a tile shop with the name of the tiles and see if they can get them at a good price? I think I paid £28 per metre, but I get a 40% trade discount....

    I used B&Q water resistant laminate tiles in my kitchen. Laid on top of polystyrene underlay. They need replacing after only 15 months. Will not be using them again for this type of thing.

    colorker as already stated do the best quality wood effect porce ive ever seen.
    when laying them though dont try to lay them full brick bond either lay them 1/4 or 1/3 brick bond.
    i was speaking to a director from colorker a year or so back and he admitted they cannot get them flat so lay them as ive alredy said.
    the repeater on these tiles is between 15 and 20mts which visually means no repeater.
    personnally ive never liked them but these are the real thing they more like wood than real wood.........well almost.
