An in person visit is still the best way to find what you need. We do not sell online, only in store. Most contractors only purchase things that they can see, feel, and judge their quality. We only sell first quality goods, which many internet sites do not. Yes, I'm a ProSource employee, but not on the flooring side. I'm a KD at one of the stores. Almost any real in person flooring store can get you loads of choices that an internet presence that concentrates on closeouts and second quality cannot.

I have had wood look tile in my home for five years now. Went with Bedrosians Heathland Cherry Commercial Grade Porcelain tile. It has a hand scraped waviness to it so it is very "real" looking. The Commercial grade porcelain tile is heaver duty than a standard tile so will take more wear and tear than a standard tile. IT comes in many colors. https://www.bedrosians.com/en/product/list/porcelain/wood-look/ This company also has the tile that looks like marble too.

I love my honed porcelain bathroom floor tile that looks like marble. It’s subtle and doesn’t etch or stain. When I look at it closely, I don’t see dots. Actually I never found a quartz countertop for my kitchen that looked as authentic as my porcelain tile. I also have marble tile for the fireplace, and it is not as clean a look as the porcelain tile I have. Do count the patterns though. Especially if the patterns are memorable. Mine is pretty generic and nearly white, very low contrast.

Marble is a higher end look and a luxury finish that almost all luxury projects receive. I specify marble for all of my high end clients and this is what they expect. Initially, it will need to be sealed several times, possibly 10-15 times for some white marbles! You can opt to use an epoxy grout, which is used in restaurants, to help avoid having to maintain that along with the marble. Then you will need to clean and seal the marble again every 6 months to a year. It is very easy to do on your own with a little time and care. If you are uncomfortable with the long term maintenance of marble, then there are now some decent porcelian tiles out there for consideration but you will have to have a contrasting countertop material. There are large format porcelain tiles that can be used as tile and matching on counters but they are much more expensive in labor to fabricate and the edge often won’t appear as realistic. It can chip and is more difficult to repair than marble or solid surface. Marble can be filled with epoxy and it can be custom colored to match any varation in color or veining. Even with all the hype about low maintenance porcelain tile, I still chose marble for my own home, and that includes white marble kitchen countertops also! I absolutley love walking into my kitchen every morning.
