Oxford

The Porcelanosa Oxford tiles use advanced digital printing and surface embossing technology to replicate the fine grain patterns, texture, and colour variation found in natural timber. The result is a tile surface that genuinely mimics the feel and appearance of real wood underfoot or on the wall. Because the effect is built into the porcelain itself, it will not peel, fade, or wear away as a laminate or printed surface might over time.

The Oxford collection is available in a wide range of sizes and colours, making it one of the more versatile options in the Porcelanosa Wood Effect range at Stoke Tiles. Whether you are looking for lighter, Scandinavian-inspired tones or richer, darker wood effects, there is likely an Oxford variant to suit your scheme. We recommend browsing the full range on the Stoke Tiles website or contacting us directly to discuss which size and colour best suits your project.

Yes, porcelain tiles like the Oxford range are an excellent choice for use with underfloor heating, as porcelain conducts and retains heat very efficiently. Unlike real timber, these tiles will not expand, contract, or crack with the temperature fluctuations associated with underfloor heating systems. Always ensure your heating system and subfloor are properly prepared before installation, and consult a professional fitter if you are unsure.

Real hardwood flooring typically requires periodic sanding, re-sealing, and careful cleaning to maintain its appearance, whereas the Oxford porcelain tiles need only regular sweeping and occasional mopping with a pH-neutral cleaner. They are also fully waterproof and highly resistant to scratches and staining, which makes them considerably easier to live with in busy households. Over the long term, you are likely to spend far less time and money maintaining porcelain tiles compared to genuine timber.

Yes, the Oxford wood effect tiles are made from porcelain, which is a naturally waterproof and highly durable material, making them well suited to bathrooms and wet rooms. Their realistic wood effect means you can enjoy the warm aesthetic of timber in spaces where real wood would be impractical or prone to water damage. Do check the specific slip-resistance rating of your chosen Oxford variant if you are laying them on a wet room or shower floor, and use an appropriate waterproof grout and adhesive.
