It’s no secret that marble tiles have long been sought after by those who are keen on ensuring their home is fit for a king or queen. Whilst marble tiles have been unobtainable for many in the past, marble effect tiles offer the perfect alternative for anyone looking to save a considerable amount on their tiles.

Wood effect tiles are extremely popular with interior designers and homeowners alike, but for the most part, are usually confined to being used within the home. 2020 looks set to start a new trend where wood effect tiles are used in outdoor areas more extensively, with porcelain providing the perfect material for withstanding the outdoor elements.
