Wood-look tiles - What do you think of these tiles?

Thanks for the tip, we will do that

Generally, I wouldn't choose glossy tiles - I just thought of that because concrete look was asked about. We had such tiles in 60x60cm in the rental apartment and you could have cleaned every 2 hours... and above all, they always looked dirty quickly in side light. Don't just focus on the appearance - you'll be really annoyed later.

I've been following this hype about wood-look floor tiles for quite some time now. I admit, I still can't really understand a decision in favor of wood-look. Partly, this is probably because I'm not a fan of tiles anyway.

Do you have any tutoring for me on why it absolutely has to be these kinds of "tiles" müssen? Expensive, enormous waste, and cold underfoot during transitional seasons. If something falls on this floor, it's not so easy to visually fix the mishap ..... oops:

Since we have a little toddler, we definitely wanted something wipeable for the living room and no carpet. Of course, it also had to be suitable for underfloor heating. I wanted tiles, my wife didn’t because she doesn’t like the look of tiles.
While searching for alternatives, I came across wood-look tiles.
My wife could live well with this compromise.

Thanks to underfloor heating, cold feet only occur in the transitional period. On the other hand, you have advantages in winter and summer. In summer it’s even pleasant because the tiles also absorb heat from the room and cool down a bit.

I didn’t find the tiles much more expensive compared to other materials. Parquet, good laminate, good vinyl would not have cost less, maybe even more. Thanks to installation in a random pattern, we had almost no waste.

Regarding mishaps:
Sure, that can be a problem, but you also have similar or other issues with other materials (dents, swelling, etc.).

A big disadvantage, however, is that anything that falls breaks quickly or immediately. The amount of damage our son’s Matchbox cars have suffered in a year is more than what mine suffered throughout my entire childhood.

I also find those parts terrible, because wood look also implies the material wood to me.

Well then I hope you only have solid wood furniture and solid wood doors in your house.

Sure, what do you think? You don’t, do you?
