Imitation wood tiles, an aesthetic and quality choice

To create a setting that is both friendly and elegant, it is obvious that the installation of wood effect tiles will bring a special touch to your interior. With their extremely realistic rendering, wood effect tiles lend themselves particularly well to the integration of more natural elements in your decoration project, and can also be used very effectively to set up original coverings.

How to make the right choice?

To find all the natural charm of this safe material with a parquet effect, it is necessary to consider the main characteristics of imitation wood tiles:

Environmentally friendly

The ceramic tile imitation wood is resistant, waterproof, heat resistant, scratch resistant, puncture resistant, and obviously environmentally friendly. This material is also easy to maintain – just wipe or mop when you’re done cooking or cleaning! If you choose tiles for your kitchen flooring, it’s important that they complement your interior and stand up to regular wear and tear.

Resilience

Wood effect ceramic tiles are made from porcelain stoneware, which is a natural product. This gives them an authentic wood look without being too cold or stark like real wood. The fact that ceramic tiles with imitation parquet are made from natural materials means that their strength and durability against impact are well-tested. This gives them another advantage over real wood.

Sustainability

Manufactured according to the ISO 10545/9 standard, ceramic tiles are very practical due to their resistance to punching. In this regard, if your tiles indicate a value equal to P4S, it means that they are resistant to the constant passage of heavy objects and impacts.
Available in a variety of styles, patterns, and sizes, ceramic tiles come in a wide range of colors that you can use to decorate and create stunning patterns, allowing for great aesthetic versatility in design.
Finally, ceramic tile is generally fairly easy to replace if damaged.

Stain resistance

Thanks to the technical characteristics identified by its UPEC coefficient (wear, punching, water and humidity, chemical agents), ceramic is composed of materials resistant to chemicals, steam, and stains, including that porosity.
Ceramic tiles are unalterable, easy to clean, and can be maintained with water, a simple wipe, and low-chemical detergents as long as you know the porosity of your tiles before buying your cleaning products. For example, for the kitchen, the porosity index must be equal to U3, P2, E2, C2.
This way, you don’t have to worry about your tile getting stained every time you cook, or if you spill stubborn stains such as cooking oils or cola for example.

How to know the porosity?

To recognize if a tile is porous, there are three very easy test techniques to apply:

● Dust test: In this case, the permeability of the tiles is observed if the dirt persists despite cleaning with water. The dust has an abrasive wear character equivalent to U4.

● Black Pencil Test: Use a black pencil and apply lines to the tile. If these do not disappear, even though you have cleaned them with a damp cloth. This means that ceramic tiles are porous and difficult to remove.

● Water drop test: you can pour a few drops of water on the surface of the tiles, if the absorption is immediate, you can ensure that the tile is completely porous. On the other hand, if after about 15 minutes the water is still on the surface, then the porosity factor is zero.

In addition, exterior tiles must have a low porosity rate (less than 2%).

The advantage of being able to find your way around thanks to the standards

The ceramic industry is subject to the application of the international standard PEI (Porcelain Enamel Institute)
The PEI refers to the resistance to abrasion and classifies this criterion into 5 levels. On the other hand, the UPEC is more qualitative, taking into account elements such as resistance to wear and tear, to water, to the marking of furniture…

Good to know:

IEP 1 = Very infrequent use: Bathroom, Guest room
IEP 2 = U2 = Infrequent use: Bathroom, living room
IEP 3 = U2S = P2 = E2 = C2: Moderately frequent passage: entrance, kitchen, living room
IEP 4 = U3 = P3 = E3 = C2 : Frequent passage, outside, store, office
IEP 5 = U3S: Very frequent passage: department store, station hall, exhibition hall
