Get look of weathered barnwood floors with new realistic tiles from Walker Zanger

I absolutely love rustic wood floors but let's face it, wood floors aren't as easy to maintain as say...tile.

While you can find a lot of pre-finished wood floors that are distressed and aged or you could have a wood floor installer hand scrape and distress a wood floor to achieve a rustic look, you'll still have a certain amount of upkeep.

Now you can achieve that rustic look of aged wood floors with tile. Yes, I know rustic wood tiles aren't anything new. In fact, I have some installed in my own home, but they don't come close to mirroring the look of old wood like these new tiles from Walker Zanger.

At least from the photos, these new tiles from Walker Zanger look amazing.

They are finished to look like repurposed barn wood or cottage siding was used for the floors.

The tiles are part of Walker Zanger's Blendart Collection.

“It’s hard to believe that this isn’t actually wood,” said Jared Becker, vice president of design and marketing for Walker Zanger. “Using innovative Italian digital glazing technology, it mimics the original finish and underlying exposed wood of weathered planks in meticulous detail. Yet unlike real wood, it can be used both indoors and outdoors in horizontal, vertical and high-traffic applications.”

The glazed porcelain tiles—offered in white, grey and black—are available in two profiles: a traditional 6-by-48-inch plank, or a 24-by-24-inch square tile which adds a modern geometry to a vintage motif.

“The boldly striated grain and natural variations in its color and texture add a warmth and versatility to this collection that make it perfect for residential and commercial applications,” adds Becker. “It combines a delicate look with extreme durability and easy maintenance.”
