6x36 or 9x36 wood look tile for a kitchen
Looking to purchase wood look tile from Daltile Forrest Park Sugar Maple.
It comes in 6x36 and 9x36. The room is approximately 15x24 and will also be continued into the laundry room right off of the kitchen that leads to the garage. Size of the laundry room is about 6x10.
Are there reasons I should be choosing 6x36 instead of 9x36? One of the floor companies is telling me there will be more cuts with a 9x36 than 6x36. I can't quite figure out why.
This is a picture I found on Houzz that shows the floor

Kitchen flooring - wood vs wood look tile
Comments (19)We selected a high end vinyl free floating wood plank flooring, for several reasons including patio / yard access direct through the 12 foot french door in the kitchen, sloppy dogs and general durability. Great wear and scratch warranty, 20 years. We are doing the entire main living area of DR, kitchen, den, foyer and powder room in the same. Installed over concrete and in the what used to be a sunken floor in the den, now plywood. Should be completed in a week, fingers crossed. We have friends who have a Karndean vinyl wood plank floor in their sun room. 11 years of no heat, soaking wet from rain and humidity and a fun filled patio and pool and beer pong marathons and it still looks like new. I was sold....See MoreI️ want to replace this kitchen floor ?light colored wood-look tile
Comments (3)Yep. I'm with Ihutch13. I can see a bit of wood flooring in a doorway. That would normally rule out any "wood look" tile. The faux sitting beside the real wood makes BOTH look cheap. I recommend a "travertine look" porcelain tile. It is striated (striped) like wood, but it is NOT wood. It comes in DOZENS of different colours. It is a "stone look" type of product that is stunningly beautiful. This would be my recommendation for your situation. Google "travertine porcelain" tiles. You will come up with HUNDRED OF THOUSANDS of photos. They are REALLY stunning. A natural cream coloured travertine (or a tumbled limestone would also work) looking tile would be a great option without worrying about wood-vs-faux wood in your home....See MoreFlooring Dilemma: wood look herringbone tile & sizing
Comments (12)Thanks Beverly. Yes, that was my initial thought too...as I mentioned in my original post, the hallway is what's throwing me off. I had first settled on 6x24 exactly for the reasons you posted (I also have some of those exact pics in my inspiration folder!). I thought the herringbone had to at least show for a full W in the hallway...but then got hung up about the 6x24 size throughout the rest of the floor. For the bigger expanses, I think 6x24 is too small, and one of the tile contractors gave his opinion that the V look is "better" (considering all the factors of the larger foyer/kitchen footprint) down the hallway. That's when I went up to the 6x36 and 8x40 samples. Here's what it looks like in the smaller 6x24 as you're suggesting (don't pay attn to the color of the tiles...I'm going for a whitish with hints of gray) ...BUT don't you agree that 6x24 will look pretty bad for the larger floors? Here's the V inspiration photo (and yes, I realize this is chevron so not herringbone):...See MoreWhat to use for baseboard with 6x36" porcelain wood plank tiles?

we decided on another wood look tile that seems to be a better color for our kitchen, and also a bit lower in price including the install, This is a photo I took at the local business that is going to be doing the install.
I also took the website graphic of the floor and pasted a photo of one of our kitchen cabinets (not completely finished installing hardware)
It only comes in 6"36" planks. Its brand Happy Floors and the style is Hickory in the color Cherry.Thought it worked well with our Cherry cabinets that are stained a warm Walnut. Even the owner of the store recommended this color once she saw my drawer slab I brought with me
