Hardwood floor is definitely a good choice when it comes to enhancing the aesthetic look of an area such as your living room and bedroom, but you would need to pay a substantially high price to get that look compared to wooden tiles. There are several issues to be considered when comparing natural wooden flooring with wooden tiles.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Quality and Strength:<\/strong><\/b>\u00a0Natural wooden flooring gives a soothing look, but its durability depends a lot on the quality of natural wood used. Planks of good quality shale or pine wood may cost you a bomb and there would be no guarantee of quality in the general market. On the other hand, you will get the best quality wooden finish tiles at Orientbell. The tiles will be value for money and you won\u2019t regret having chosen them over natural planks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Wooden tiles are not just available in planks but also tiles in 600*600mm. These are available in both vitrified,\u00a0ceramic tiles<\/a>\u00a0as well as in porcelain body.<\/p>\n
While wooden planks are available in limited shade of brown but wooden tiles are available not just in your favorite colour of wood but also in various other colors like grey etc.<\/p>\n

- Maintenance:<\/strong><\/b>\u00a0Wooden flooring can easily get affected by termites and require regular termite treatment, which could not only be tiresome but will also need frequent investment in maintenance. Tiles do not require any such treatment. Water seepage and moisture inflow is another problem with wooden flooring and wall tiles because of which they may need to be frequently replaced. As a result, you will have to put up with the hassle and cost of replacing the flooring and wall covering. On the other hand, tiles have a much longer life span, which goes up to 50-60 years, with minimal maintenance.\u00a0 They will last long without their colour or texture getting faded or affected. They can be easily mopped and are low or almost no-maintenance.<\/li>\n
- Pricing:<\/strong><\/b>\u00a0Wooden colour tiles are much cheaper than natural wooden planks as they are easily available. Even if you are ready to pay a high price for natural wood, you may not get the quality of wood that you see in the decor of old houses. Wooden tile price is sure to affect your decision as it is bound to sweeten the deal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

<\/p>\nThere is a substantial price difference between natural wood planks and wooden tiles:\u00a0<\/strong><\/b>Buying new wood floors is a larger investment when compared to other types of flooring options. It is more expensive than installing tiles. Orientbell\u2019s range of wood-like tiles have many options at much lower prices than natural wood tiles.<\/p>\n
Wooden flooring is not suitable if there are a lot of activities in the house:\u00a0<\/strong><\/b>Natural wooden floors can get worn and scratched over time if there are heavy activities like children and pets playing and running around, and spilling and dropping things on them. This means that you may have to refinish and fix your wooden floor regularly. This is a major problem with wooden floors. You will not face this issue if you choose wooden tiles instead.<\/p>\n
Wooden floors have noise problems:\u00a0<\/strong><\/b>Wood floors can be quite noisy when compared to tiles as they can be squeaky when you walk on them. Once the floors are installed, the wood begins to wear immediately, especially in high-traffic homes. Keep in mind that wood floors don\u2019t absorb noise. To avoid noise, you may have to cover the floor surface with a carpet, which may defeat the purpose of having a wooden floor.<\/p>\n
Wooden floors are not as hard and sturdy as tiles:<\/strong><\/b>\u00a0Tiles are made of hard material, making it very easy to clean and maintain. It also makes them sturdy and durable. Wooden floors are not as hard as tiles and are prone to scratches and peeling off and chipping.<\/p>\n
