New Custom Home Trend- Tile that looks like hardwood floors.

Hard wood floors have long been looked at as a beautiful and classic choice for home flooring. However, with a propensity to attract wood devouring pests and the need for regular upkeep, the flooring look you love may be a bit of a hassle. That is why in states such as Florida where the tropical climate can be hard on certain organic materials, wood is traded for a more durable choice like tile.

For those of you who have your heart set on the look of hard wood but would like to forgo the additional maintenance, there is a solution. A new trend is emerging in the interior design arena of custom home building. The fabrication of ceramic and porcelain tile to look like wood is gaining popularity and becoming more readily available. This "hardwood tile" has the look of hardwood, yet all the functionality of tile. You really are getting the best of both worlds.
