Thinking about using wooden tiles in your home instead of the usual choices? They give you the warmth of wood with the easy care of ceramic, and they hold up well in this climate. From rustic texture to a crisp modern look, they add a natural touch that lifts any room.
In this guide, you’ll find design ideas that make small rooms feel larger, price ranges you can plan for in Bangladesh, and fresh trends worth watching. You’ll see how size, finish, and grout color shift the mood, where wooden tiles shine, and what to avoid.
Ready to get the glow of wood with everyday practicality? Let’s walk through the best picks and tips for wooden tiles.
Wooden tiles are ceramic or porcelain tiles that replicate natural wood in color, grain, and texture. Manufacturers use high definition digital printing and textured glazes to create the look of oak, teak, walnut, or reclaimed planks while keeping the durability and low maintenance of tile. The result is a wood look surface that stays cool underfoot, resists water and stains, and does not swell or warp in humid weather.
How they are made: A dense clay or porcelain body is pressed, fired at high temperature, then printed with wood patterns and sealed with a protective glaze. Many options come with rectified edges for narrow grout lines and a realistic plank layout.
Common formats: Plank sizes such as 15×60 cm, 20×100 cm, and 20×120 cm are popular for floors. You will also find 30×60 cm and 60×120 cm for larger rooms and walls.
Finishes you will see: Matt, satin, soft touch, and textured anti-slip for wet zones like kitchens, bathrooms, balconies, and entryways.
If you want the actual warmth of timber, there are no good alternatives except actual woods. However, there are several things that might still make you interested to choose wooden tiles over actual woods.
Factor | Wooden Tiles | Solid Wood |
---|---|---|
Humidity tolerance | Excellent | Sensitive |
Maintenance | Simple cleaning | Regular care and refinishing |
Scratch resistance | High | Moderate |
Water resistance | High | Low |
Termites | Not a risk | Needs protection |
Comfort | Cool and hard | Warm and softer |
Installation areas | Any room, even wet zones | Avoid wet zones |
If you love the natural patina and softer step of real timber and are ready for the upkeep, solid wood can be worth it. For most busy homes here, wooden tiles deliver the look with far fewer headaches.
Wooden tiles could be used in almost all rooms of your home even in the wet areas like bathrooms and kitchen. So, the design suggestion should be different for different rooms. Here’s a quick suggestion for all rooms you can follow-
Large plank wooden tiles in 20×100 or 20×120 cm make a small space read wider and a big space feel seamless. A herringbone layout adds a premium note without shouting, while a simple stagger keeps things calm. Choose mid to warm tones like oak or walnut for your living room. You can also opt for satin or nano polished if you want a gentle sheen that lifts light, or matte if you prefer a cozy, low glare feel. Don’t forget to keep grout tight at about 2 mm and match the color to the tile so the floor reads like one continuous surface.
For your bedroom, lighter shades such as ash, beech, or soft greige can create a restful mood and make your bedroom feel open when it's compact. Matte or soft satin finishes near the bed are comfortable for the eyes and it creates a quiet, hotel-like vibe. Straight lay or a gentle chevron introduces movement without visual noise. You can add a fabric rug for softness and better acoustics. If you’d love to learn in more details, check out our separate blog on modern bedroom floor tiles.
Porcelain wooden floor tiles with a matte or low sheen finish give you grip, easy cleaning, and a gentle finish that hides daily mess. Mid browns and oaks are practical for kitchens because they mask crumbs and dust better than very light or very dark floors. A 15×90 cm plank size reduces grout lines but still fits neatly around cabinets and islands. Pair the floor with stone look countertops or white cabinetry for a clean, timeless combo. If the dining nook sits beside the kitchen, continue the same tile to keep the space visually connected.
Rustic matt or textured wooden tiles shine in wet zones because they add traction. Use narrower strips such as 10×60 cm on the shower floor so the slope to the drain works cleanly and the pattern looks intentional. A wood look floor combined with light stone or white wall tiles gives a spa feel without heavy maintenance. Also, don’t forget to seal grout well and consider epoxy grout to resist stains and moisture over time.
Rich walnut or smoked oak tones add warmth for evening meals and make table settings pop. On the other hand, a satin finish reflects pendant lighting softly and keeps the room lively without glare. If you want subtle drama, use a plank border or a contrasting inlay under the dining table to define the area without needing a rug.
These areas take the most foot traffic, so porcelain wooden tiles are a smart pick for durability. Medium browns hide shoe marks better than pale tones. You can lay planks in the direction people walk to visually stretch the corridor. And at least keep a 30% offset on long planks to control lippage and maintain a neat, professional look.
As open areas like balcony and outdoors constantly deal with dust, water and mud, choose exterior rated wooden tiles with structured surfaces for grip (especially during rain). Weathered teak or driftwood grey creates an easy deck feel without the upkeep of timber. Ensure proper slope for drainage and use exterior adhesives and grout so the installation handles heat, humidity, and monsoon cycles.
Your kids' room should always offer a playful environment for your kids. You can use honey maple and light oak to make the environment cheerful. The prime advantage is - they show less dust between cleanings. Matte finishes are safer for play and simpler to maintain. After all, keep the floor neutral, then layer color through storage and textiles so the room can evolve as tastes change.
Wood look wall tiles frame a TV unit or headboard and will not fade like laminate. Vertical stacking behind a bed adds the sense of height, while horizontal planks behind a TV stretch the wall visually. If the wall has a strong texture, keep the floor quieter so the two elements balance rather than compete.
Room/Area | Best Finish | Suggested Size | Go-to Shades | Layout Idea | Grout Tip |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Living room | Satin or matte | 20×100 to 20×120 cm | Oak, walnut | Herringbone or staggered | Match tone, 2 mm |
Bedroom | Matte | 15×90 to 20×100 cm | Light ash, greige | Straight or chevron | Match tone |
Kitchen | Matte or soft satin | 15×90 cm | Mid brown, oak | Staggered | Mid tone to hide stains |
Bathroom | Rustic matt | 10×60 to 15×90 cm | Driftwood, light oak | Smaller strips in shower | Epoxy grout if possible |
Dining | Satin | 20×100 cm | Walnut, smoked oak | Border inlay | Match tone |
Hallway | Matte | 15×90 to 20×100 cm | Mid brown | 30 percent offset | Tight joints |
Balcony | Textured outdoor | Varies, exterior rated | Teak, weathered grey | Straight | Exterior grade grout |
Here is a clear view of what you can expect in 2025. Most wood look ceramic and porcelain floor tiles in Bangladesh sit between BDT 150 and BDT 350 per square foot, with entry items dipping near BDT 110 per square foot and imported or large format designs starting around BDT 250 per square foot and climbing based on brand and finish.
Price moves with material, size, and finish. Porcelain usually costs more than ceramic and holds up better in wet areas. Long planks like 20×100 cm or 20×120 cm and premium finishes such as rustic matt or nano polish push the rate upward. Local listings and brand guides consistently place porcelain within the BDT 120 to BDT 350 per square foot band, while imported options begin higher.
According to different reliable resources, tile fitting services quote about BDT 30 to BDT 40 per square foot for floors, with wall rates slightly higher. That means a typical installed floor using mid range porcelain often nets out near BDT 210 to BDT 360 per square foot for material plus labor, before consumables and skirting.
Segment | Material example | Typical sizes | Avg. tile price per sft |
---|---|---|---|
Budget local | Ceramic wood look | 15×90 cm to 60×60 cm | BDT 110 to 180 |
Mid range | Porcelain wood look | 15×90 cm to 20×100 cm | BDT 180 to 320 |
Premium or imported | Large format or specialty finishes | 20×100 cm and up | BDT 250 to 400+ |
Here are some handy tips to choose the right wooden tiles for your home. Take a look-
Measure the room, note door swings, and check natural light. Long plank wooden tiles running parallel to the longest wall or toward the main window make a room feel larger. On the other hand small bathrooms look cleaner with medium planks that keep cuts simple.
For floors, porcelain wooden tiles are the safe bet because they handle moisture and traffic better than standard ceramic. Ceramic works well on walls and light duty areas. If the home has kids or pets, lean porcelain for durability.
Standard floors are comfortable with 9 to 10 mm tiles. Busy hallways or entry zones feel more solid with thicker options. Large formats such as 20×100 cm create a seamless look in living rooms, while 15×90 mm is practical around kitchens and narrow corridors.
Matte or rustic matt gives grip in bathrooms and balconies. Satin or nano polished tiles lift light in living and dining without looking glossy. In kitchens, a low sheen matte hides smudges and cleans fast. So, consider the place first and choose an appropriate option.
Light oak and greige brighten compact bedrooms. Mid browns and classic oak ground living rooms and hide dust better than very pale tones. If your furniture is dark, a lighter floor keeps the room from feeling heavy.
Ask for a slip resistant surface in wet areas and confirm the rating with the retailer. Rectified edges allow tight joints so wooden floor tiles read like real planks. Keep grout around two millimeters and match the color to the tile for a seamless look.
Herringbone adds a premium feel in a living room or foyer. Straight lay is calm and timeless. For long planks, keep offsets around one third of the plank length to reduce edge highs and get a smooth finish.
Wood look porcelain does not need sealing like wood, but grout lines still matter. Consider epoxy grout in showers and near sinks. Ask for cleaning guidance that protects the printed grain.
Include adhesive, grout, trims, skirting, and labor. Add five to ten percent extra tile for cuts and future repairs. A small overage prevents mismatched batches later.
Bring two or three sample planks into the room, check them in morning and evening light, and place them next to your sofa, cabinets, or bed. It will help you to get an idea on how they look at different places and in different lighting conditions. The right wooden tiles should work with your furniture and your routine, not just the showroom.
Wooden tiles give you the warmth of wood with the durability your home in Bangladesh needs. If you have read this far, you already know the basics. Pick the finish that suits each room, size the planks to your space, and plan the layout before you buy. Bring home two or three samples, check them in morning and evening light, then set your budget with labor, grout, and a small extra for wastage.
Do that, and your floors will look calm and stay easy to live with for years. When you are ready, explore the wooden tile collection on DBL Ceramics or visit our showroom for guidance and a quote.
Yes, if you want the woody look with less stress. Porcelain wooden tiles handle the humidity in Bangladesh, daily spills, and busy homes better than natural wood. They work across living rooms, kitchens, and even bathrooms when you choose the right finish and slip rating.
Prices vary by material, size, and finish. Ceramic wood can be collected at an affordable budget end while porcelain will cost more and last longer. Large planks and special textures raise the rate. Add labor, adhesive, grout, trims, and a 5% to 10% extra for wastage to get a real-world budget.
Compared to solid hardwood, wooden tiles are usually cheaper upfront and far cheaper to maintain. They are priced like other porcelain or ceramic tiles, which makes the wood look accessible for most rooms.
With proper installation and normal care, porcelain wooden floor tiles can last for decades. They resist moisture, scratches, and fading better than many wood alternatives, which keeps the finish looking fresh year after year.
Tiles. Solid wood has higher material and finishing costs, plus ongoing maintenance. Porcelain wooden tiles give a similar look with lower install and upkeep, so lifetime cost is usually lower.
It depends on the finish. Choose matte or rustic matt for wet areas and check the slip rating with the retailer. Keep floors clean of soap residue and dust, and use bath mats where water pools.
