Can wood-look tile flooring be staggered?
Many homeowners opt to arrange wood-look tile flooring in an exciting layout pattern rather than the typical grid pattern, and a staggered or offset pattern is a popular choice.
If you're looking for tile in Arlington, TX, you'll find a large selection that works well with every layout pattern at All Pro Floors. In addition, we carry ceramic and porcelain tiles from top companies like Daltile and MSI.
Wood-look tile flooring
Homeowners often choose wood-look tile rather than wood-look plank flooring because it is available in smaller sizes that work well with layout patterns.
Typically, tiles have a plank-like appearance, which is perfect when using a staggered pattern because a rectangular tile shows the staggering more prominently than other shapes. Wood-look tiles are found in many sizes.
Staggered pattern
With a staggered tile flooring layout pattern, installers line up the edge of a tile to the center of the tile above or below it. Or installers can create a 'third-stagger' by incrementing one-third of the tile length.
The interrupted lines of grout make this pattern a focal point in a room, and you may want to heighten its appeal by choosing a contrasting grout color.
More options
To open up a small space and add depth to a room and visual appeal, tile flooring can be staggered on the diagonal. It's also a good idea to use more than one tile design, regardless of the direction of the floor layout pattern.
Staggered patterns with rows of varying widths and tiles in two or more colors may perfectly complement your decorating style.
