Here's an exciting wood look tile for you to consider for your home: Bio Wood Modular Wood Look Planks from Tile Outlets of America, and the first modular wood plank tile system we've offered.

What Is Bio Wood Modular Tile?

The Bio Wood series is a rectified porcelain tile that comes with three different sizes in one box, allowing you to create a modular pattern with thin grout lines. According to #TileTuesday Tip: Understanding the Difference Between Rectified and Calibrated Porcelain Tile,

"Rectified tiles ... are fired and then ground to size. This is done to achieve exacting standards in size consistency. Rectified tiles’ edges are precisely, mechanically finished for uniformity, ensuring the size is more precise from piece to piece within a product line.

The uniformity of rectified tiles provides enhanced ease of installation and can simplify installing patterns and unique tile designs. Rectified tiles’ exact edges may allow for smaller grout lines ... compared to the edges of non-rectified tiles. If thin grout lines are desired for an installation, it is recommended that rectified tiles be specified."

Bio Wood Modular Tile Is Available in Two Colors From Tile Outlets

Bio Wood modular porcelain tile is available in two colors: Noisette and Vineyard.

Bio Wood Porcelain Wood Look Modular Planks Come In 3 Sizes For 2 Installation Patterns

Each box of Bio Wood porcelain tile is packaged with 9 pieces total consisting of three pieces of each of three sizes: 8x36, 5x36 and 3x36 which are meant to be installed together to create a modular pattern.

Note that these sizes are not sold separately and that boxes must be returned unopened. Not that you'd want to return this beautiful wood look tile!

You'll find that the combination of three plank tile sizes makes different installations possible. Here are two installation possibilities:

What About Grout Joints For Bio Wood Modular Wood Look Planks?

The Bio Wood modular tile manufacturer recommends grout joints to be no less than 3/16”.

Joint locations can be random and should be positioned to be no less than 30% the length of the adjacent tile. Alternating joints so they are less than 30%, a straight-lay or herring bone patterns are acceptable and with grout joint sizes of ¼” to 3/16”, but no less than 1/8”
