PETITE, PORCELAIN WOOD-LOOK PLANKING AT RUBBLE TILE
When it comes to designing spaces, there’s always a place for neutral tones and simplicity that can act as a blank canvas for the rest of the design. That’s the guiding principle behind Basic B, from AlysEdwards Tile & Stone. While AlysEdwards is known for their irreverent color names and marketing, their ceramic, glass, stone and porcelain tile designs really stand out.
With Basic B, they’ve proven that simple and neutral flooring is an asset for designers. Especially when you consider the quality and sophistication AlysEdwards brings to all of their tile collections.
In AlysEdwards own words:
“Enjoying simplicity doesn’t make you lame, it means you have good taste…This wood-look may not be extra but it sure is versatile and petite in size.”

Wood-Look Porcelain’s Trending Rise
Wood-look porcelain has been available for a while now, but it’s in the past few years that the trend has created a larger demand in the design industry. One reason for the trend is that tile makers have been able to create porcelain with an incredible likeness to actual wood flooring.
Another reason for the increased popularity of wood-look porcelain is its durability. That means the tiles in Basic B need much less maintenance than natural wood. And they’re more impervious to daily wear-and-tear. With its strength and stability, porcelain tile can be installed in high traffic residential areas with confidence. Not only that, but the price point of porcelain is often budget-friendly when compared to most natural wood options.

As technologies have improved, we’ve seen an uptick in the variety of wood-look offerings out there. At Rubble Tile, our goal is to offer our clients the highest quality of gorgeous tile while staying in front of trends in the design industry. With Basic B, we’ve got another gem in our mix of wood-look porcelains.
The Basic B Collection at Rubble Tile: Neutral, Sophisticated, Petite Porcelain Planking
The Basic B collection is comprised of four refined, neutral colors in a plank size of 2.25″ x 11.75″. These planks are unique because of their petite width that allows designers to play with different patterns and arrangements.

Two of the most classic patterns that work superbly with Basic B are offset and herringbone. In addition, AlysEdwards made the colors compatible, which allows you to blend any of the colors into one design installation. They look great in monochrome, but when it comes to these colors the more the merrier!

Like natural wood these tiles have a high level of variation, a purposeful design choice that enhances the beauty and aesthetic accuracy of the product. They’re mostly used on floors, but this series can be used to great effect in a wall application. It’s also suitable for wet areas like showers, and can be used on countertops.
