Smart Wood

Every tile in the Porcelanosa Smart Wood collection measures 22x90cm, which is a versatile plank-style format that works well in both large open-plan spaces and more compact rooms. In a smaller room, a straight lay or a subtle offset pattern can help the space feel more orderly and elongated. The proportions of this tile size also make it particularly well suited to corridor and hallway layouts.

Yes, the 22x90cm format of the Smart Wood tiles makes them an ideal candidate for a classic herringbone lay, which is one of the most popular patterns highlighted for this collection. Herringbone layouts do typically require more cuts than a straight lay, so we recommend adding at least 15% wastage to your total tile quantity rather than the standard 10%. It is also worth discussing this layout with your tiler beforehand, as it requires more precision during installation.

The Porcelanosa Smart Wood collection is crafted using modern porcelain manufacturing techniques that replicate the rich textures and grain patterns of natural timber in impressive detail. The surface has a tactile quality that closely mirrors real wood, both visually and underfoot. Because porcelain technology has advanced significantly, the variation in grain and tone across individual tiles closely resembles the natural randomness you would expect from a genuine timber floor.

On the contrary, Smart Wood porcelain tiles are considerably easier to maintain than real timber. They require no oiling, waxing, or specialist timber cleaners – regular sweeping and mopping with a mild, pH-neutral floor cleaner is all that is needed. Because the surface is non-porous, liquids and stains cannot soak into the tile the way they can penetrate natural wood, making spills far less of a concern in day-to-day life.

Yes, the Porcelanosa Smart Wood collection is well suited to both domestic and light commercial settings, thanks to the inherent durability of high-quality porcelain. Porcelain tiles are highly resistant to heavy foot traffic, impact, and abrasion, making them a practical choice for offices, reception areas, cafes, and retail spaces as well as homes. Always verify the specific technical specifications, such as abrasion resistance rating, for your intended commercial application before ordering.
