Wood effect tiled floor

We cannot have a wooden floor as we have underfloor heating. We are considering a wood effect tile throughout the downstairs of our house; hall, kitchen, living room and family room. Does anybody have experience with these? Do they look realistic? Would it be too much to have them throughout? Thanks

We have the wood look tile in our bathrooms, with under floor heat. I think they look nice and work great for the bathrooms. However, for your whole house you might want to think about the fact that they won't have the soft/warm feeling of real wood. They will sound like tile when people walk on them (loud footsteps when shoes are on), they are hard like tile, they are cold like tile (when the heat is off) and they will be echo-ey like tile.

What I have always thought is, if you try to "match" an existing floor it looks like you tried and missed. When you go with something completely different, the result is yes, I wanted something different, and here it is. Especially if you lay it in a different direction. Does that make sense?

Why don't you stain them so the beauty of the wood shows through? After staining them, you apply several coats of polyurethane to seal and protect it. It will give you the shine you're looking for. I'd go with semi-gloss instead of high gloss or you're floor will be too shiny.

We have similar dilemma here. My husband likes the cream tiles & although I do like the look of them in a kitchen, I also worry about them being / looking cold if they were through the whole house. Plus it would most likely be me cleaning them every day! So it will be wood floors for us.
