Padauk Wood Tiles

Recently, one of our Clients, who is an an avid outdoorsman wanted to completely renovate his home. He would much rather fill his free time by hiking in the forest rather than walking city sidewalks.  During his home renovation, one of his dining room walls was taunting me with its blankness, as if something was missing.  It was just begging me to add something interesting. 

Padauk Square Wood Tiles
Since this was his dining room, I wanted to make sure his wall reflected his personality as well as provided him with a conversation starter. Keeping this in mind, I looked at several styles of wood tiles before settling on the Padauk. I selected our exotic collection of 3D wood tiles which comes in a variety of wood types. The ones that were selected for this project were Padauk Elongeated-001~7 and Padauk Square-001~5 

Small or large, light to dark, you name it and I looked at it. We have wide range of choices for wood tiles at Global Trends.  Sheets of tiles from pine to oak!  Thin veneers!  Different patterns!  The simple tiles start at around $30/sf, definitely worth checking out.

At Global Trends, we have plenty of options with wood tiles. Wood tiles are hand pieced, multi-level and have great texture.  The recycled wood tiles can be custom ordered in a range of sizes, and start about $39/sf.  Also, since the wood is hand-pieced, the tiles can be any height!  The ones that I personally suggested for this project were the Padauk tiles because the colors range from very light to dark, yet they play off each other beautifully. They’re perfect for any home or business that wants to blur the line between inside and outside.  The large piece I used as my inspiration at Global Trends was a wall piece framed in brick and glass tiles.

Wood tiles are built on a substrate that is resistant to moisture, with a hardwood core and beautiful wood overlay that comes in a variety of colors to match any décor.  You can use these tiles as wall covering, flooring, or furniture covering in living rooms, dining rooms and even bathrooms.

These 3D wood tiles come in brick format, square shape design and some random patterns. Each wood chip can be made as small as 1 inch by 1 inch to 4 inch by 4 inch or as per customer specification. The thickness of each wood chip varies due to being 3 dimensional but could be as small as 1/2 inch to 4 inches thickness.  The tiles do not need any grout and need to be glued on the wall. The lead time for the wood tiles are 4 weeks. The wood tiles come in the price range of 29 dollars to 49 dollars per square feet.

Each tile is unique, with interesting color and height variation.  The result is a wall (or column, or window frame) that is not uniform, but definitely complementary.  Tiles are 12”x12”, and due to the moisture resistant substrate, can be used in any interior application.
