of porcelain and generally are very durable tile that will not crack or chip easily. Wood look tile is used and suitable for residential homes as well as upscale commercial venues. There are a few options in size of the planks and many color options. Colors can range from the white, beige and tan shades all the way up to a dark gray and dark brown even charcoal black. The beauty of the style is the appearance of wood and the natural character of wood as opposed to a factory patterned design that is common in most tiles. However to truly have that genuine wood appearance the grout color is crucial. If the grout color does not blend, the whole natural effect of that wood look is lost and you are simply left with a regular patterned tile look. However many times it is quite difficult to get the grout color to blend just right with the tiles. Many timers during the course of construction the grout may lighten permanently  from white construction dust. This is much more noticeable when the grout was supposed to be a dark color like gray.  Grout Works can customize an exact color match and actually stain the grout to blend perfectly even if the original grout color did not blend in to the tiles as you would have liked. Better yet, the new color can be sealed so you will have sealed grout that will not stain from spills and dirt.
