    You’re shopping at your local home improvement store. You spot Style Selections wood look tile flooring. Maybe this flooring is a new concept to you, so why should you invest your money?

    Perhaps you’ve admired the elegance of your single friend’s stunning floors. Maybe you’ve visited a family member whose gleaming hardwoods shine so bright, you can see your reflection.  You can’t help but to think that your dingy carpet and sticky linoleum just don’t stack up.

    Sure, you love the beauty of hardwood flooring. However, something has held you back from making the big purchase. It could be your kids and pets, making memories while also making messes and increasing the chances for scratches and dings on hard flooring. For many, cost is a factor, racking up thousands in materials and labor.

    Do you love the look of hardwoods but want something more durable that requires less maintenance? Wood look tile flooring is the answer.

    Style Selections has jumped on the wood look tile flooring bandwagon by offering a variety of products. These could give your home a much-needed makeover.

    Before you hand over your hard-earned money, though, it’s important to determine whether this flooring is the right fit for you and your home.

    Available Styles

    Style Selections wood look tile flooring mimics the look of traditional hardwoods. The brand has designed products that imitate some of the most popular types of wood.

    From light to dark, rustic to elegant, Style Selections lives up to its name. They provide a wide selection of stylish flooring in a variety of colors, finishes and styles.

    You can easily achieve the rustic look that’s all the rage in interior design with the Natural Timber Whitewash Wood Look tile.

    Love the look of Brazilian pecan but don’t love the expensive price tag? You can dress up their homes with Style Selection Brazilian Pecan Natural Wood Look Porcelain tiles.

    For a darker, more elegant finish, Style Selections Serso Black Walnut Wood Look Porcelain tiles provide the beautiful look of dark hardwoods with all of the benefits of porcelain tile.

    Additional shades include Ash, Mahogany, Cinnamon, Wheat and Graphite, with colors available to complement any décor. For many of its products, Style Selections uses a high-definition printing process.

    That provides variations of shades and graphics on each tile and a realistic finish designed to retain its beauty through the years. Owners of these products find that many visitors to their homes can’t tell that it isn’t really wood.

    Most Style Selections wood look tile flooring comes in the size of 8-inches by 48-inches. However, other sizes including 6-inches by 24-inches or 6-inches by 36-inches are available in select styles.

    Durability & Maintenance

    One of the reasons that many consumers select Style Selections wood look tile flooring over traditional hardwoods is durability. The brand’s products are designed to withstand kids, pets and heavy traffic. Consumers who have purchased this flooring back these claims.

    Style Selections wood look tile flooring doesn’t fade. You also don’t need to do expensive and labor-intensive refinishing as with traditional hardwoods. Though not completely immune to cracks, it’s not easily scratched, dinged, dented or damaged through everyday use. It’s resistant to mold and mildew, making it a great choice for allergy sufferers.

    Unlike hardwoods, Style Selections wood look tile flooring can get wet without warping, so it’s ideal for applications in kitchens, bathrooms and other rooms where moisture is present.

    Cleaning the tile is simple. Pick up a dedicated tile mop. You just need water and a mild detergent when you need to do heavier cleaning. Even with heavier cleaning, Style Selections products withstand staining, scratching, fading and other damage frequently observed on hardwood flooring and has a life expectancy of over 60 years.

    Cost Comparison

    For many, cost is a factor when selecting their new flooring. The beauty, durability and budget-friendly pricing of wood look tile flooring are just a few of the reasons its popularity is on the rise. Style Selections’ collections are affordable when compared to other brands.

    Depending on the chosen product, Style Selections wood look tile flooring ranges in price from $2 per square foot to $4 per square foot. On average, other brands of wood look tile can cost up to $9 or even more per square foot, making Style Selections a very cost-effective choice in flooring.

    To realize even more cost benefits of Style Selections, take a look at the price of traditional hardwood flooring. Soft, more easily damaged woods like pine cost between $3 per square foot and $6 per square foot, on average.

    More expensive woods like walnut could cost up to $14 per square foot. Compared to just $2 per square foot for Style Selections’ Black Walnut flooring, the savings really pile up.

    Installation is another consideration when calculating costs. Installation of wood flooring costs up to $8 per square foot, whereas tile installation is slightly cheaper at around $5 per square foot. However, many homeowners are choosing to take the DIY route with Style Selections wood look tile flooring.

    One of the downsides of Style Selections tile flooring is that it can be quite difficult to install, which is why many opt to hire a professional. Homeowners that chose to take on the task by themselves found that they had to take care when placing each tile to prevent gapping between tiles.

    Others reported slight warping of some tiles and chipping or cracking while cutting with a tile saw, warning that you should buy 10% more tile than you need, to prevent a shortage if this happens.

    The Final Verdict

    Style Selections wood look tile flooring is a great choice for many households, particularly those who want the look of wood without the hassle, maintenance and expense. Homes with children, pets and residents that suffer from allergies will enjoy the beauty and durability that this flooring has to offer.

    Homeowners that have never done flooring may take on an additional expense by hiring a contractor to take on the difficult task of installing Style Selections flooring. However, the overall costs for professional installation and materials fall far below the costs of installing hardwoods.

    Consumers praise Style Selections flooring for its beauty and durability. With so many different styles available, this flooring is ideal for turning any house into a beautiful and elegant home.
